CMP deserves a lifetime contract.
- Thread starter Lilsweet
- Start date
He has one, an additional year is added to the end every year he makes the NCAAT
And what also amazes me is this is a "rebuilding" year technically...
I believe Matt is only 13 wins away from 500 career victories.
Yep - @ 487 career victories, 462 with Purdue and 25 with Southern Illinois.
Yeah at this point you are correct.. rebuilding would be what happened when we had too much sauce.. now, we're just reloading like you said.
Much better description.
The pace he is going he'll be at the top of the B1G sooner rather than later and have a large margin between him and #2 by the time he is done.
The biggest question with Painter is how long he will want to continue to deal with this current NIL and Transfer Portal NCAA mess, the reason the Virginia coach left coaching.
I thought the same would be true for Keady and knight. But when they stopped winning championships, public opinion changed.
Why was Keady forced into retirement? It’s very clear looking at what he did after he retired from Purdue that he really wasn’t ready to retire. He went to St. John’s and the NBA as a special assistant. He could still coach. But not at Purdue. Here, have a watch, thank you for your service!
Knight was fired by IU.

Well he is kind of staying away from it and the portal. So it's not as bad as a lot of other coaches.
Purdue at the time had a policy of retiring coaches at the age of 70 which I think Keady was about to reach.
I have to believe if Keady had reached a final 4, the age regulation would have been waived. Indiana does have an age limitation for their state college employees. My mother in law was forced into retirement, received her gold watch and went back to work full time the next day at her desk on a private cancer research grant And continued to work until the day she died at age 80. There are always loopholes.
Unfortunately for Keady, his last two years were not successful ones, and the grumbling and outside pressure started.
My hope is that Painter is allowed to leave on his own terms rather than being helped out the door.
Keady was too honest for his own good. He started admitting to recruits and their parents that he MIGHT not be there all four years of their careers.
And let’s just also say that the program wasn’t being supported like it should have been…
