I'd argue that if you can read any context at all MP told us exactly what happened in the interview posted above. He's about as honest and straightforward as any coach is going to be.

Some people (not naming any names Bone ) would rather ignore or try to discredit any real information so that they can claim that their views are valid despite being contrary to what all the data shows us.

No. He didn't tell us exactly anything. What you're inferring or interpreting may or may not be the truth. And to say that so n so "Demanded a starting spot and to be the focus of the offense", because that's what you think Painter was implying (but didn't say), is wrong. It's just your opinion.
And I'm not discrediting "real" information, because you don't have real information. You're taking what you heard in a media interview and trying to extrapolate specifics.
The reality is, only the recruit, his family, agent and Painter know what was requested, demanded, promised, etc. We the fans don't.

Did you just make up the quote above? I haven't heard anyone say that.

I'm quoting MP directly when he said KC 'was really concerned about his role'. Are you thinking that maybe KC was worried that his role was going to be too big?

Recent one: Do any of us really know what happened with the Catchings decommiment? Sure, there's plenty of speculation: "He wanted to be guaranteed minutes", "He wanted the offense to revolve around him" "He wanted $XX amount in NIL", etc, etc, etc.
But, none of us were in the room with Painter, Catchings, his parents and agent, so we don't know what the real reason was. (Saying "I heard" isn't worth much).

So, whatever the truth was/is, Painter is going to spin it so that neither party looks like the bad guy.
He's not going to say "Catchings wanted to be guaranteed a starting spot and I told him no". Even though that may be the truth, he's not going to say that.

Painter talked about it and usually doesn’t talk about things like that. But ok, I’ll give you that one just to make you happy. Any other ones?

There's 10 different ways you can interpret that. But your personal interpretation could be completely different than the actual truth.

He could be referring to a starting role, playing time, his role in the offense, his job on defense, his ability to play inside or outside the 3 pt line.....We don't know (and neither do you).
You're just guessing that was Painter was inferring was that Catchings wanted a guaranteed starters role. But you don't know that, and Painter didn't say that.

Based on the 5 seconds I spent reading about him, he might have potential. Not a very impressive list of schools so far, so that's a little questionable. i'd like to see a little tape on him before I opined on whether he's a P5 level talent.

This team needs the opposition to miss shots. But they allow too many good ones. They’ve got to get so so so much better defensively, which everyone knew would be a thing. But it just looks so bad when we have to take the ball out after a made basket or free throw. It’s just Braden being hounded and handing it off 40 feet from the basket, then back to him, and then nothing.

Frustrating to watch us get dog walked twice already. But we have a good coach and good players, so let’s find some answers.

Defensively guards still can’t stay in front of their man. Offensively, if Colvin and Heide can’t get their own shot it will be a long season. Heide has become typical rebound and shoot 3s guy. He needs to use his athleticism.

Smith get you the ball in position to shoot with good shots you have to hit them.without the big guy in the middle every team will drive to the basket this year you have to help out on defense
