Disappointed in this game but still support Painter, program.
- Thread starter TC4THREE
- Start date
I support the program, I support the players and the other "behind-the-scenes" guys, but I'd rather have three new coaches in place of Painter, Owens, and Gary. I would keep Brantley but would not want him to be appointed the coach-in-waiting or anything like that. They still had a winning record and made the NCAA Tournament, so the traditional logic of an AD is to keep the HC and his staff.
No ones OK with this outcome. But firing Painter is not the answer. I predict we are significantly better the next two years at least.
Yep. But then again the negative nancy bitches can't see the future and that things are trending up even with this loss.
I am very disappointed. I am far away from the fire Painter bandwagon. In 2 years with a great point guard if we don't do crap in the tourney next year or in 2017 then I may be on that bandwagon. It is what it is. I think it's clear to Painter that we absolutely need at least a good PG that can handle the ball and make his own shots.
Do you really think he's going to become a better head coach in the next two years? He might get some good recruits, but he's not going to improve as an in-game coach after being a head coach for this long.
We absolutely choked. For a game we should have dominated we look absolutely terrible. We look like we learned nothing from the entire season. I'm not sure how any true fan would not be disappointed. In fact, I'm so disappointed in All of Purdue sports. I will be canceling my subscription to rivals tomorrow and I will not donate or pay a single sent to anything regarding Purdue until we do something significant in the athletic department which is what matters most to most grads. Additionally, I would have no problem changing my degree to another school if possible.IU seems like a good chose... I'm over it. Enough is enough.
11 years of this was about 4 years to long. 1 B1G title and 1 B1GT and never past the S16. His teams never play with any killer instinct. They play very passive like his coaching style.
Like you are really even a Boiler. I outed you long ago and proved you weren't one.
If you are considering having anything to do with IU than you are not a true Boiler. I am pissed in the outcome tonight and the horrible football season we have. However I still fully support Purdue and always will.
Awfully hard to support Painter after that. Obviously I wouldn't fire him because that's overreaction, but his seat is hot after two choke jobs in games we had won, and this latest one is squarely on the head coach for failing in-game.
We lost like 3 or 4 games this year that we had double digit leads. If Painters seat is starting to warm up. Fail next year then he is on the hot seat. Right now he is still our coach.
No. He's who he is. But better players make for a better coach.
I think our team is better next year than this year. It'll be different though: focus on offensive efficiency more than defense.
Cool story. Want a cookie? Your posting for "likes." Of course we all support our alum, but we suck and Purdue needs changes throughout athletic department to seemingly remain relevant.
Are you on something? We lose AJ. Another delusional fan. Probably a Cubs fan, too.
Looks like the same face Branden Dawson's girlfriend had earlier this week. But hey you guys win basketball games!!
The faithful cry of the eternal loser. "Wait til next year! I predict big things!"
Pussies? Hardly. Would Alabma have all these titles in football for example if they didn't expect and demand excellence? We are settlers like the Xfinity commercial. We settle. If you deny that than you're dumber than most. Facts are fact. Bernie voter?
This just in: Isaac Haas is pretty good. And we get to take Davis out of the starting lineup. We'll be very different, but I think we'll be better. You don't agree? I'm OK with that and I don't have to act like an asshat just because someone disagrees with me. Ball's in your court.
I think he thought we were ahead and he was going to get fouled. Inexcusable
Whose going to coach the end of the game when we're up 13 with 3 min. to go?
Hey, that's a valid point. The only thing I can say there is that I hope the guys who have now been through it twice in the tournament and a few times in the regular season will learn from it so their coach doesn't have to fix it.
Really??? That's what we get for 2.3 million
That's the going rate for coaches at high major schools. All season long Purdue was a top 15-20 team, and Painter blew it tonight. That doesn't make him the Worst Coach Ever. It does mean he needs to do a lot better if he wants to keep his job, but firing him now would be a mistake. JMO.
Have some class. If you are going to lecture others about comments, maybe you should set the tone but instead, you behave as always.
Are you aware that most of the conference season, the only reason they maintained their rank is because of how many teams were losing around them in the rankings at the same time? Mirage?
PU needs impactful guards. Painter recruits wings ... not true guards. It's been his Achilles heel throughout his career. PU was one solid PG from being a legit NC contender this year. Obviously showed today.
Well then, hopefully Carsen Edwards is that guy then. I sure as hell hope so. Haven't had an elite ball handler and shooter since probably E'twaun.
This loss hurts down deep into the bowels and crevasses of my deepest basketball passion. I hope and pray that we can rebuild the program because it is at an all time low.
Agree for the most part. Purdue won't be as good defensively, but with a good PG coming in, and some of the wings showing improvement this season and improving into next season, we should be a team that can be more versatile offensively.
We absolutely are better next year. And our sophomores today will be stronger leaders than our seniors were this year.
