I'll be honest, I don't understand the vehemence

with which some folks defend Painter.

I'm not calling for him to be fired, but I don't get the vehement defense of him some folks clearly seem to have.

He's won one BT title his entire tenure here. He's never gotten past the Sweet 16, and only has two of those in his 12 seasons as a head coach. Both of those are now six years ago.

Multiple seasons missing the tourney completely.

We haven't finished higher than tied for third since 2010-11. We haven't won a tourney game since 2012, and he's 2-4 in his last six.

What exactly has he accomplished to garner such fervent defense?
What has he done to say no other coach can duplicate that?
What will occur next season to make things any different? Or the season after that?

11 seasons now. We can I think start to discern some patterns.
