Malik Decision
- Thread starter Boiler Barracuda
- Start date
Dude, you can't argue that Painter has been a successful tourney coach. The fact is that he hasn't taken some pretty good teams very far in the tournament. It's kind of hard to refute that fact.
He said in his tweets that he has no problem with Izzo or the coaches.
Would have loved to have had Robbie and Haas during those runs. Hard to refute that as well.
I don’t think anyone is. What I think some of us are saying is that making a Final Four or Elite 8 wouldn’t change our opinion of him. The tourney is so much about things out of a coach’s control like draw, matchups, injuries, game location, etc. This year we could get an easy draw like Michigan and make a FF. Does Painter suddenly become a good coach? When did Jay Wright become good? We are a great program with a very solid coach consistently performing at the top 5-10% of D1. And I’m positive one day we’ll be a FF team. But my opinion of him won’t change as long as he keeps running this program the right way making all of us proud we’re not like these other programs.
Hey decision hasn’t been made yet but whatever he does it best for him. I been through
1st off no decision has been made yet let it play out. Sir everything you say makes sense I get it and still my conclusion is this the coaches did there job what is it you think those other guys did that the Purdue coaches didn’t do. Put yourself in there shoes tell me this if you no you did all you could and sold your program opportunities of playing time,academics ,location facilities the fan base everything is there to be successful and that kid still chose to go elsewhere what can you say than you are the recruiter. My son chose Purdue over that school and other schools that was heavily recruiting him but in the end once official visits were done he and I sat down talked about each school and what matters to him my son than made his decision I did not and I supported his decision bcuz this his his life. All I can say as a parent who went through the process some coaches promises you the world often time they don’t live up to those promises and I made it a point to tell every coach who recruited my son don’t promise me or my son anything he’ll earn his playing time and opportunities and he did. This staff kept it real I respected that other coaches didn’t some I caught them in lies than I let that go. Sir these coaches spend hours and hours away from there families doing there job so not think they are not working bcuzthey are doing all they can to show a player what an opportunity playing at Purdue will be sometimes it works sometimes it don’t that is up to that kid and parents nothing a coach or coaches are not doing to let that player no how much they are needed and wanted and sometimes that’s just not enough not a coaches fault or lack of pitch of landing those players. Not getting top 50 players doesn’t necessarily changes your chances of winning a natl Championship if that is the case Kentucky duke Kansas all who have been successful and won championships just not in the last 4 years how well is that working out for them now and they have many top 25 players its all about Fit and team comradely if you don’t get along and not think you bigger than the team won’t work sir but if they all about team and chemistry which this team has you can win many games LOYOLA comes to mind. This team is gonna good they all here for a reason and ready to prove the belong and will tell college writers don’t be fooled about ranking it’s all about liking each other and playing for each other as brothers they do that we’ll be in Minnesota
This is comical! We are talking about kids playing basketball. You would think the world just collapsed. Biggie, would get up earlier and play longer than anyone I know. Rosie, knew the opportunity at Purdue to excel and he did. JJJ tried to do the same at MSU and it somewhat failed. Zeke or Malik haven't chosen a different team as of today. If they do, I will support the Boilers regardless.
Twitter is definitely in favor of Purdue. I'd say Instagram is a bit more of a mix. But his Purdue official posts on both platforms have the most likes compared to the other schools.
With one of the better teams we had, in 2016, Painter's team went down to Little Rock in the first round. And Painter was outcoached at the end of the game. Hard to refute that.
And so will i. I've supported them in excess of 30 years. Just because I disagree with some posters on here doesn't mean I don't support the team. This is a discussion board, not a pep club.
No argument on running things the right way. I respect Painter, alot. But I don't believe he's a consistently good recruiter or a good tournament coach. And unfortunately, the tournament is how lengendary and top programs are gauged.
Please provide an example of where I hacked Painter or the program in this thread.
Sounds more like a bitch fest! If, I wanted to hear that kind of talk. I guess I could go shopping with a bunch of women.
I wasn't referring to you specifically. I'm sure you support CMP and the program the best you can.
It’s called fantasy. Lots of embellished stuff on here and opinion stated as fact.
That’s why he is promoting MSU to Brooks and Stewart, because of regret.
You do realize that making a sweet 16 is no great feat? 2 wins is all it takes. That is why the elite eight, and more so the final four mean something.
And we go to personal attacks when we don't like others opinions. Again, I thought this was a discussion board where othero Purdue supporter's opinions could be stated?
Nauseating? That would be your attempt at having a rational discussion. If you are even trying, you just can't control yourself enough to do it.
Not a personal attack at all. Just sick of all the CMP haters. He's our coach and a very good coach! We need to support our kids. Seems we get lost in what kid doesn't commit and then the CMP bashing begans.
They would have to be IU fans. Purdue women don't bitch about the Boilers. Only the men who think they are entitled to a Final Four do that.
I think you're getting hate and criticism confused. I don't hate Painter. I don't think he's a bad coach. I just don't think he's a very good recruiter or a very good tournament coach. And if you believe fans shouldn't be able to express criticism of that, then you're being the unreasonable and unrealistic one.
Nope, not confused. What was your reaction after Newman committed? One kid may sway a different direction and instantly you bash CMP. If Hall commits you'll probably praise CMP. Reminds me of hatred for sure..like the IU fans treated Crean.
Pat, you are likely the worst poster on a board that provides plenty of competition for that title. You consistently cherry pick arguements that half support your position, ignore valid points made by others if they refute your position and put labels on those who disagree with you.
I’d ignore your posts but watching you work is far too entertaining. Congratulations, you are the king!
Nope. That's why it's called a discussion board. But of course I'm "bashing" Painter when I provide criticism...
Your opinion. And I've seen some pretty crazy ones from you...
Oh wow! Holy shit, It took only a few minutes for the MSU PC Police to arrive. I didn't even flash the Izzo symbol in the sky with my flashlight before you guys got back to us.
Tell me, do you MSU boys monitor all the different rivals boards?
Painter has had two bad losses in NCAA tournament games at Purdue, VCU and ALR, but VCU also beat the #1 seed on the way to the Final Four and 5/12 losses happen very often in the NCAA tournament. Overall, Painter has done pretty much what is expected in the tournament. I always have thought that Painter was two Robbie Hummel ACL tears away from at least one Final Four.
If you watched that game and think the way you do, you don’t know basketball. Or any other sport for that matter.
For the most part agree with your assessment BD. I’d argue that despite the seeding, it’s hard to hold Matt accountable for losing to a VCU team that ended up in the FF. ALR was a bad loss, no excuses there and they gave away the game vs Cinci the prior year.
I’d also add last year’s IH injury to the two RH ACL’s as missed FF opportunities, although some would call all three of those injuries an excuse.
I get it, Izzo is batman and you're the joker. Sounds about right.
You looking for a board where you can post b.s., unchallenged?
I think I speak for most MSU rivals posters when I say we absolutely love a good PU message board meltdown when we land a kid y’all covet. You guys have so much venom for Izzo and spew so much hyperbole here that it’s pretty easy for us to relish in your losses. This lot is so different from the PU fans I actually know and converse with. Not unlike any other fan message board contingent though. Good luck tomorrow.
