Is he going to survive at Purdue?

Seems a lot of fans are pretty mad at him.

Brick, what say you?

I didn't see him out there on the court missing any shots.

He will be FINE!

I don't think it is just about the game vs. Little Rock, but the fact that he has had some pretty talented teams that have really underachieved.

If they aren't firing Hazell, I think Painter is safe

that excuse may fly in the NBA, but it doesn't in college where coaching is much more emphasized.


Painter is a bum, his players don't play hard for him and right there that's more than enough reason to fire someone. I knew there was something wrong with this team when their star big man loafed down the court on the last possession of the Big 10 championship game and cost his team a sure fire win by not being on the glass for an easy offensive rebound.

Good coaches don't need to tell their players to play hard.

:lol: They play hard for him. That is the least of their problems.

He'll be fine for next year. They should be a top 25 team again next year and a new athletic director will be hired soon. His tournament record has been below expectations though and if that doesn't change there will have to be a change.

Recruiting is way up and the team was pretty good this year. They just got upset by a team that hit some pretty insane shots. It sucks but that happens in the tournament.

His biggest problem is that his teams have always had one fatal flaw. This year it was point guard play and that should be fixed next year. Next year is easily his most complete team.

To be honest though, depending on the new athletic director, it wouldn't shock me if Painter eventually left on his own. He's going to be better in the tournament to get another 5-10 years(not doing another Keady where he gets a lifetime pass even with many tournament failures) and he may want to go someplace else and restart.

They'll be better without Hammons. End of the game he doesn't want the ball.

Do they got a freshman point guard coming in?

I actually read someone who said that Keady would have got this team to the final four this year.

Made me laugh. The same Keady who couldn't get to the final four with Big Dog, but he could have with Hammons?

Yeah, not buying that one.

Yes, though he isn't going to be a savior he should be pretty good. They also have PJ Thompson coming back who made pretty massive strides this year. They don't need to look for a 5th year transfer PG this year though they may take one if he can help.

Yeah. It's funny. Lots of Purdue fans are pretty riled up about Painter but at the same age Painter is better than Keady.

Purdue would be crazy to get rid of Painter.

You're Purdue, not North Carolina or Kansas.

Be happy with whatever modest success you can muster, keep your mouth shut, and know your place.

He needs to do better in the NCAA tournament.

Be careful, your replacement for Matt Painter might end up being Bruce Weber.
