Matt Painter Radio Show

That's what I did, but I couldn't find any links that had the show. I've never listened to it regularly (and haven't heard it on Fort Wayne affiliate stations for at least 5 years), but I wanted to see if it was still active. I see no proof that they still do the show.


Was on 1380 tonight

I listened tonight. It is on 97.5FM in Indy. I thought CMP was more engaged tonight and had great emphasis to his points. He also used a lot of metrics to show comparison between our team and other top teams. Most of the comparisons were with ND. The metrics make our team look pretty impressive. Most sports are going the way of metric analysis and I like the idea that CMP is on top of that coaching method.

Go to the bottom of the page I linked. There is a link to listen on-line.
 
I wonder, if you throw a zone at it, do you think it would cooperate?

It will be better mixing it in than sticking with the precious and overvalued man-to-man D every single possession of a game and ending up with this as a result of that: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=400587859

Boy, that constant man-to-man and having bigs out on the perimeter defending pick-and-rolls and the like sure shut down Notre Dame the last time they played each other! ;)

Yeah, it was just a jest. That's not my defense you described. My squad plays a mixture of man, zone and a couple of defenses the CIA discovered in the 60's, which to this day remains top secret.

I know you not reading this but just in case. Go back and read this thread. You ask for assistance finding the MP radio show. Three or four people help you out with either links or time and radio stations on which they listened to the show. You refuted all of them. Why? Are they all lying to you in an attempt to keep you from the programming you desire?

You know four of those five starters don't play for ND anymore, right?

Well since it has been fifty years later, the CIA has released information on that event. Man and "Match-Up" Zone are VERY blurred with slight emphasis on court versus player relative to the ball with Pure zone leaning a little more heavy to court. Rules and leanings are typically catered to all five players.

The discovered defenses commonly called "junk defenses" or "Specialty Defenses" take all the common approaches from all three previously mentioned, but typically applied to all five players and break those leanings into part of the team and the other leanings to the other part of the team. Essentially, some players lean to man and others to zone. In these instances it is very uncommon to see more than two players leaning to man. This defense has a viable short term effective solution in its typical application due to confusion as to how to attack it, but once recognized a solid team will easily attack it.

I can neither confirm or correct your response at its way above your pay grade.

Well, if I wasn't confused with my attempt to add to the thread, I am now. This no longer is a CIA secret... :)

You know that Mike Brey is still their head coach and they are still as efficient and effective offensively as they were two seasons ago, right?

Could you be any more of a ND homer? In the last few days I have seen you post more positive things about ND than I have ever seen you post about Purdue.

Man, some of you haters take things to a serious level when you jump on the ND bandwagon against Purdue.
 
How have they changed? Please elaborate on this comment.
A few facts for you:

  • In 2015, when Purdue was pummeled by them, 37% of ND's shots were three pointers. Thus far this season, that number is up to 42%.
  • The ratio of free throw attempts to field goal attempts was 37% in 2015. That number is down to 30% this year.
  • In 2015, they assisted on just 55% of field goals. This season, that number is up to 63%

Each of those statistics would indicate ND is more of a jump shooting team who does considerably less driving and less one on one driving.

Those are fair points. However, one could argue that there isn't a big difference between 37% and 42% to begin with, that the stats are skewed since Notre Dame has only played 10 games this season vs. the 38 games that their stats accounted for in 2014-2015, and that a flaw in these findings is that it does not account for the manner in which these 3PT's and field-goals were created and set-up in said games (i.e. 2014 Crossroads game). So, it still doesn't make an argument for your belief of why Purdue should stick to man-to-man D (with Swanigan and Haas subbing in for each other at the 5) the entire game.

You have a point regarding sample size. But I'd wager it is easier to penetrate against weak non-conference opponents than it is against teams that know you well and are better.

As to the 37 to 42% difference, it is statistically significant. 42% places you in the top 20th percentile while 37% is close to the midpoint of all teams.

Again though, the 42% is after 10 games while the 37% came after 38 games. Also, "weak non-conference opponents" is a very subjective term. You would have to compare all of their non-conference games from '14-'15 to their 10 non-conference games this season to be able to make an informed opinion about how many opponents were weak non-conference opponents and which ones weren't. N.D. did very well in creating scores through their dribble-penetration in the 2014 game against Purdue. You can look at the game tape and come to that conclusion.

ND SOS thus far this year is 295th. In the full year 2015, it was 38th. I think we can confidently say it's been weak, and very weak at that. I'm not sure why you would compare it to just the non-conference schedule in 2015 if we are using numbers for the whole season.

I've provided my support and I think it's strong. You obviously don't. It's all good. We can agree to disagree.

Please elaborate. Show us the data that they are just as effective. Please provide data for comparable opponents so that we know that you are comparing apples to apples.

Boilers, There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Naglight Zone.
