A significant portion of the Purdue fanbase are engineers of some sort. In my experience, most engineers are really smart in their focus area, but many times lack common sense. I have set at Purdue games before and can almost always pick out the engineers from listening to them and always ask to verify, only been wrong a few times.

Not putting certain players in the dog house and playing scared. (Newman immediately comes to mine but everyone on the team looked afraid to take a shot when it came crunch time)

True, True, Absolutely True - to many times this year players hesitated to shoot wide open threes. It was as if they had no confidence. It started with Newman last year.

Just took a look and Kentucky Carl from this board just signed it, so Paint's @ss is grass.

Honestly, it's pretty sad that this is happening IMO. Way too many people need to get a life and put their hope in something other than college basketball. Painter is a great coach and you need to be careful what you wish for....

Ideas and thoughts about next year thread

Two thoughts. I've said them before and people called me crazy.

1. Players who are highly rated players out of high school who still have dreams of playing professionally, typically transfer to another school if they are not starting by the end of their sophomore year. This s true for all schools, not just Purdue. Look at the red shirt thread. Most Purdue players that redshirt don't stay for 5 years. if they can't crack the starting 5, they leave. Players who have pro dreams no longer have loyalty to their schools and stick around to warm the bench and be back-ups. I look for 1-3 Purdue players entering the portal. I look for a lot of other players from other schools entering the portal as well.

2. Freshmen can start and be successful , and also be successful in the tournament. Look around. There are a lot of freshmen who are having success. and a lot of freshmen who had tournament success in the past on OTHER teams. Purdue laid an egg against FDU. But it wasn't just our freshmen who had a bad game. When you look at a typical high school player, they play high school games, and essentially 3 seasons of AAU ball. it's not a matter of being tired out. It's a matter of being used properly.

Agree with the other poster that this is a succinct and well stated post.

It will be very interesting to see who stays and who goes. If Zach returns there's certainly a chance that Trey, Caleb or Mason transfers. Something to be said for playing a role on what would be a top five team, but that's a big ask for the second year in a row. I'd be shocked to see Braden or Fletcher go anywhere, even if MP brings in a transfer guard, but Brandon is potentially in play. I would be very surprised to see Ethan go.

Agree that freshmen can be successful and that our freshmen had a successful season. I'm not aware of any schools playing two freshmen who where not five star recruits (read very physically mature) as many minutes as we did, going deep in the tournament. Agree that it's Braden and Fletcher's fault, the problem is that we didn't have a better alternative and no one else stepped up.

So just so we are all in the know, you are wanting to fire a coach, who in the last 7(SEVEN) years has:
been to 3 Sweet 16's and 1 Elite 8(one late shot clock starting from Final 4) in NCAAT
made the tourney every year they had it
Won 3 Big Ten Championships with a couple of 2nds and a 3rd
Won 1 BTT
But last 3 losses in NCAAT were to high seeds,though in 2022 was in the Sweet 16
I think he is underpaid
Do you think Rutgers, Michigan, IU, OSU, Illini, Wiscy coaches resumes better than above for last 7 years. Probably only a few coaches in nation with better last 7 years.
Maybe we can agree Big 10 needs all new coaches, that is harder to argue against, than the argument to Fire Painter.
I know we are all butthurt over the losses, but come on, don't believe you would like your bosses holding you to these standards.

My favorite are the folks who know we absolutely, positively have to fire Painter RIGHT NOW… but have no earthly idea what to do after that…

First of all, I went to Purdue when Painter played. I like him as a person and I think he a good regular season coach, but not many people outside of the Midwest care much about BIG titles and certainly not the national media calling Purdue the "Choke Artist Program of the Decade" etc...
College basketball is all about March and us losing to North Texas (#13), St. Peters (#15), Fairleigh Dickinson (#16) along with Little Rock etc. are not acceptable for program like Purdue.

The head coach is the CEO of their program, so when you have failed on the biggest stage you should be accountable for his failure.
I think Painter has become too comfortable, too stubborn and too rigid for the good of Purdue.
So with this petition, this is your chance to voice your displeasure with Matt Painter.
This might not get him fired but it should be put him on notice to at the very least to make major changes if he wants keep his job.
