He talked about it twice in his announcement video. Once in the beginning when talking about what differentiated each of the finalists and then again on the back half that was focused on why purdue. Easily found on youtube, but it's 20 min of your life you'll never get back.
It took RMK 5 years at IU to accomplish more than PU ever will.
Actually, Knight coached at IU 9 years before Keady, not 8.
that is a rather odd/random stat.
RMK> Purdue
Keady > RMK
Keady < IU
So Bob won more before Gene, but Gene won less after Bob.
so much for the transitive theory of geometry.
Another odd stat. Keady gets to keep wins and BIG titles on his record even though games were later forfeited. Can you say three-cheat?
purdue guy has to find some comfort in the facts and that was the only thing available.
Gene Keady has less:
Tourney appearances
Big Ten titles
Final Four's
National Titles
Gene Keady is a hall of fame coach but inferior in any and every way possible to Bob Knight.
lol . . . Nice try. “Coach” didn’t know something after being a jerk to someone who didn’t know something. It’s a familiar pattern.
8 years vs 9 years was irrelevant to the point that was being made. Purdue poster A with inferiority complex gets bent out of shape on something that was never said. No IU poster claimed Bob Knight had better H2H record against Gene.
I wonder if Painter will ever make it to the FF? The answer: nope.
my post was pseudo TIC based on the head to head results only. I wasn't implying that Gene Keady's career was better than RMK. Everyone needs to lighten up.
Not necessarily true. Way better combover, and once Bob went to sweaters, it was no contest in jacket tossing. No one tossed their jacket better than Mean Gene.
I still cannot figure out what RMK was doing when he would pull his sweater up so that it cuffed near the top of his pot belly. My Purdue buddies would look at me in question, and my response was always "....dunno...I got nothing...have I mentioned those 5 banners?? "
It's possible and would definitely be deserved if all that transpires as probably will. I'd like him gone yesterday, its obviously not working here.
I think he over achieved at Dayton by using schemes that don't work in power conferences. Sure, if you have decent talent and play that way, you'll surprise an MSU or similar in an off year for them, but in general, he's trying to make MAC success translate to the B10 regularly and its not working. Part of that is talent, but that's on him too after 4 years. What is more disheartening about the future is that I'm pretty convinced that he doesn't know any other way to coach, if he did, why not mix it up? A coach that cannot adapt to succeed every year to what they have on the roster is not a good coach. Coaches like Boeheim that do run systems actually recruit to that, AM doesn't
I worry they'll bring him back just because of COVID and not being able to entice a good candidate until its over
he was darn close. Closer than maybe we’ll ever get.
here is a question: at what point does painters resume exceed that of Keady’s? I haven’t crunched the numbers but it seems it’s got to be close.
Maybe Crean gets back to the FF if you give him 16 years. None of the above would cut it at IU.
I agree but this year's team is minus Devonte, DeRon and Justin Smith. It does seem to be a little different. The more the younger players get involved the more things seem to changing. It's clearly TJD's team and their culture looks better.
5 years is more than long enough to show if you are a special coach or not, especially at IU. I'd rather yank the subpar coach off the mound earlier than later. The 9 year BS with Crean shouldn't happen.
That was important. That wasn't then end of the story. Let's just say he had a good relationship with Matt and thought they shared similar views as player and coach. Their chemistry type test Matt uses were in Trey's words almost a perfect match. Trey never did think there would be a problem playing with Furst even though many thought Purdue getting Furst would move Trey out. A visit back to that thread will find many posts by me before it was announced so much Purdue people were getting panicky that somehow my posts would be detrimental to Purdue landing this bright kid that wasn't about to be influenced by anyone on a forum. Purdue was in excellent shape for months. This is not to imply anything other than there was a lot of comfort that existed in this one recruiting battle.
I think it is safe to say that 1)Trey is smart and no doubt a good interview 2) Trey had more basketball people he could trust than most recruits helping him. None of this should be considered derogatory to IU...the stars aligned for Purdue and Trey and had been for months. It is just one player that went purdue's way and position was "part" of his considerations. He almost committed before Furst.
He just said he picked Purdue because MP did not want him to be a hero, just a good player. He was not a guy who would have wanted to be a Big Shot at IU or in Bloomington. He is very grounded. He wants to become a great player. He is the consummate team guy. Painter has Cuonzo Martin’s son, Stanford’s top assistant’s son and Central Catholic Coach Dave Barrett’s son. Fletcher Loyer from Homestead is also a coach’s son. Those endorsements by sons of coaches do not hurt in recruiting.

So the reports about him not wanting to be in the spotlight at IU were accurate?
I haven't seen anything special from Archie at this point in time. He needs to start beating PU. He needs to recruit better than he has. He needs to contend for Big Ten titles. He needs to get to the Final Four. He hasn't finished with an above .500 Big Ten record or made the NCAA's (might have snuck in last year) yet. Not much consistency. I'm starting to get impatient.
According to Rabjohns, any player who doesn't choose IU can't handle the bright lights.
Look friend,
I can admit that I respect Kentucky's program but it doesnt mean I pull for them. Like I told Sir Courtsense, my team is INDIANA HOOSIERS (and occasionally notre dame football). Find ONE single post of mine where i haven't been ANYTHING but supportive of IU hoops and football.
Find one gall dang post and get back to me.
