He already has come to his sense by not listening to people like you that can't let something go. Jesus give it a rest and find a new hobby already. There is no reason to play zone no matter how much you want it and post about it.
I'm off to create two new accounts so I can like this three times .... I might even create five, it's so deserving of appreciation and praise!!!!!!!!!
Let's all march on Mackey and force Painter to use the famous "shell zone".
Haas will chase smaller 5s around all year. Painter has never changed and he never will.
Even funnier. "I'm not going to stop posting about topics like these until changes are made, so some of you better get used to it." Because any coach is going to listen anything on a fan board, let alone this drivel. Or you and the one or two others who agree can go post each other.
Forums are meant to have opinions posted so no reason for you to stop. But be prepared to be called out on your posts when you don't fully understand the topic you are posting about. Like in your case here and in other comments you have made such as which player should be playing over another player, only to have that proven incorrect as well.
Because there is no need for him to. Just because you think something should happen because you saw it somewhere, it doesn't mean it should happen at Purdue.
And I'm not even saying we should or shouldn't play zone next year. I'm just SICK and TIRED of hearing about it!
Now if it was in all CAPS and BOLDED, I would be swayed to get my torch and pitchfork out....
It would be like proposing that North Korea stop allowing idiotic dictators to run their country...it isn't going to happen. Try to find actually solutions that might work instead...like switching every screen in man defense OR sagging more on the backside help against weaker outside shooters.
The arguments against a zone with this particular Purdue squad have been clearly laid out many times. Nage either doesn't understand or just refuses to accept the reality of the situation.
You must of read the post wrong he is talking about NEXT year where there will be a different squad/rotation.
You mean when Purdue brings back a starting 4 that they had last season in PJT, Mathias, Haas, and VE and add Carsen? How does that make that much difference?
Instead of playing zone to protect Haas I'm hoping he only recruits fast guys under 6'5" from now on.
I'm not going down that rabbit hole again. But just to be clear, we will have many different combinations/lineups available to CMP:
I'm going to keep posting here until North Korea becomes a free nation. That should spark change.
Well it will make a huge difference with Swanigan gone. You can look at it as 4 starters returning but Purdues losing their best player. You can't honestly be looking at the situation as "we only lose one starter." Haas will be playing a lot more minutes. Not to mention Purdue still won't have a proven big off the bench. Yes Ewing maybe good and Taylor could get healthy but we don't know. Haas maybe the only guy that can effectively play the Center position next year because Swanigan will be gone.
Same was said when AJH graduated last year. You keep digging a hole of hyperbole and are not getting out. You see what you want to see and are blinded by your hatred of Painter. He could win the national title this year and you would still complain because he didn't win it using a zone.
