Finally, as styrofoam-shielded lunch arrives, Painter turns to the last item on the to-do list. With an 11-day, four-game European tour ahead, he has reserved the last 20 minutes of practice for scrimmaging. Painter will officiate, which leaves his assistants to choose sides. “Paul,” he says to Paul Lusk, “you go first. Who do you want?” Lusk, who’s on his second stint at Purdue, leans back in his chair, shrugs and smirks. “Zach Edey.” Once Lusk and Brandon Brantley divvy up the roster, it’s time to pick teams for the second game. This time Terry Johnson gets dibs. “Uhhh,” Johnson says, pausing as if he’s contemplating the choices, “I’ll take Edey.”
Painter looks up from writing down the picks and smiles. “Aren’t they geniuses?”
