Let me congratulate Matt Painter for a well coached season....

He sat those who needed to be on the bench when he needed to. He made some very solid adjustments throughout the season, and he kept his cool when those on here were calling for him to lose it.

He did what he had to do.

Now...take it on to a Final Four.

Thanks for the post.Coach Painter deserves a ton of credit.This team didnt fold late in the year like Wisconsin and Maryland.Does anyone else think the win at Maryland saved the season?

The promised land

I know some are suggesting Collin's for COY, but I think Painter has done what he had to do to deserve that award.

As it turns out, the wins at Maryland and Indiana seemed to be the key....so yes. And the Boilers got a little help and were able to take advantage of it.....work for them still and more goals ahead.....but being Big Ten champ is something they can be proud of for sure.

Gotta give CMP his props....he's molded together a good team.....looking forward to the rest of the season. Still a big challenge this weekend in Evanston.

The game on Sunday could very well be for coach of the year

At this point BTCOY should be between Pitino and Painter. I think Painter deserves it especially if we win the BT outright since Minny's turn around looks better because they underachieved so much last year.
