what the hell was he bitching about in the 2nd half? didn't call a charge on his one player, no call then complained when his player barrelled into Loyer. He topped it off w/ a blow by handshake to Painter, lack of class to a guy who helped you get to a better place in life.

Also Painter sign up to agree to come play in this mad house!!!! Painter could have said no way we are playing in Philly! We are going to play in the mausoleum you call a home area. Instead he but chose the harder path.

This would have been a big win for him. He needs to rebuild a little more.
Then focused his presser on the refs! ... I was shocked.
He was just frustrated with the big refs from the last few games...we can relate big refs suck. Still respect the guy hope they beat the loosiers by 20 on Wednesday
He was pissed about Big Ten refereeing in general. Alluded to the idea that retribution for his comments would come at IU.
I rewatched it, there was no blow by. Shrews shook his head at Painter and kept it moving. He was talking and joking with Painter before the game. Thats sufficient.
Someone needs to remind Shrews that Izzo is the league Cryer. I know he's frustrated and also probably is putting on a bit of a show to see if it earns him any favor, but not a great look.
Should’ve been yelling at himself. He coached an awful 2nd half.
He mentioned that during the Michigan game a conference official didn’t know his name - if true that speaks volumes of how bad the conference officials are. It also speaks to why we haven’t actually had a team contend for a title in 20 years. I mean, Purdue before conference play led the country in fouls against. Now, no where near the top. That doesn’t make sense.
I thought I saw them laughing in the handshake line.
I always say I could never coach Purdue because of the refs. I'd be francon meltdown every other game. Can definitely understand his frustration.
He also said in his presser that his complaining about the refs had “nothing to do with Purdue. They kicked our ass in the second half.”
As weird as it sounds, I think playing in an environment like the Palestra rather than the tomb gives us a better chance to win. For whatever reason, we (and other teams) struggle with the "unique" environment of having no one in the stands. It throws them off. Also, we get the benefit of a better environment to prepare for the tournament.
Condensed version of his press conference - questions about the officiating and what New Pal referenced......
I could see Painter agree to a game with Villanova there with a return date in Indianapolis or something like that. These games/experiences are good for Purdue, IMO.
Maybe they will revisit that NET determination - would be good for Purdue to get another QUAD 1 win out of that.....not sure how that process works.
Big Ten officiating is institutionally terrible. Its football out there
I thought yesterday’s game was reffed perfectly, let the players play and determine the game, game was quick and had a good flow. Purdue probably did benefit a bit, however, that game was won by the players not the refs, I like seeing that.
Hell when they called him for a T his player had just fouled Gillis twice on a break away. I think that is why the ref was so quick. They were letting them play and pound the shit out of Edey as usual.
Several years back, that's how DJ Carstensen used to call games primarily, and he "T'd" up Shrewsberry. Somewhere he "lost his way" the last few years......maybe he has had an epiphany and brought it to Courtney Green? Haha......we can dream, can't we?
It will be really interesting how the Penn State/Indiana game gets called this week in Bloomington.
I don't understand why coaches, fans and players always blame the BIG 10 refs for their problems and losses. The BIG 10 refs haven't changed in 20 years. Rather than compaining, do what Wade boggs and Tony Gwynn did. Do some research on the refs and find out what and how they call, and then make your game plans accordingly. Boggs was famous for knowing the umpires and their strike zones. he knew what would be called a ball, so he refused to swing until he got a good pitch to swing at.
Surely BIG 10 coaches know what the BIG 10 refs are going to call and also what they can get away with. The smart coach is the one that uses that knowledge and plans accordingly.
Sometimes, it appears a coach is really frustrated with his team or a certain player. he can't publically berate his player or team. that would be bad for team chemistry and the locker room. So instead of calling out his player(s), he berates the refs instead.
it's time people realized what coaches are really doing. Some of it is to save face. some of it is posturing. and some of i is because the coach doesn't want to say what he's really thinking, but he knows he has to say something. So it's better to talk bad about the refs.
and fans do the exact same thing. You know or should know what each ref is going to call. rather than yelling that should be a foul or traveling, do some research. the refs are going to call what they always or never call. Edey is being treated the same way that haas and every big man before him was treated. the ref haven't changed no matter how many times Painter or the fans have complained.

He did acknowledge that a little......basically saying a total of 10 FT's for both teams in a game that physical was ridiculous. If you call ALL of them, Penn State would have had serious foul trouble, IMO.
This game was a culmination of building frustration apparently. I hadn't a whole lot of Penn State before today - did catch some of the ACC Challenge game and some of their loss to Michigan State. Pickett is really tough, but they collectively have problems in second halves it appears.
Edey got grabbed, and then 2-hand SHOVED, on a putback. No call. Should have been an and one.
Maybe a poorly officiated game, but the non calls went both ways.
Not arguing, New Pal.....wait until Purdue plays Michigan State (in two games) and Wisconsin. Now, I think the single play with the Badgers is really late in the season this year, IIRC.
I think they called it the same through the whole game and didn't change at halftime which even called bad I am OK with. The one no call where it was a charge loyer took and they didn't call anything at all was interesting, that much contact something has to be called.
Watched iu game yesterday first half 15 minutes into game before iu was called for first foul in first half (nw had 3 at that time) . Second half both teams had 6 fouls each within the first five minutes, this is what always aggravates me like it's completely called different in halves. Just be consistent even if bad...

IU gets the advantage of a midweek game at the Mausoleum.You are right......I stand corrected and am wrong again.
thanx, Tex much appreciated since I was the guy years ago who called it that and has pretty much stuck
Even the announcers (Robbie Hummel) pointed out that they had no clue what play that made him so angry, prompting the technical violation and free throws.
I think he just freaked out because he saw the game slipping away. That's a shame. He should have acted in a much different fashion, including the post-game handshake.
Yeah, the neutral site thing is BS. The conference scheduled this as a Penn State home game. Penn State chose to hold one of its 10 conference home games at a different venue. That decision makes perfect sense from their perspective, but it doesn't make it a neutral site. Purdue's ticket allotment was the same as for any other road game.
