Anyone else catch (on TV) towards the end of the game when Painter was talking to KS and AJ on the bench and all 3 started cracking up? Would have loved to hear what was said. Was glad to see KS not sulking after a terrible shooting night.
Maybe Painter as just giddy to be getting the W?

Maybe Painter was telling Kendall to mix in a bucket and Kendall was like "yeah right coach".

I'm just kidding, he'll get it turned around.

I have been fortunate to see a couple of games in Mackey from Row 3 behind the Purdue bench. May not mean much but I haven't seen any sulking among the coach or the team. In particular KS and AJ have been engaged an upbeat despite AJs early issu and KSs shooting performance. These guys appear to be close to their teammates and Painter.
 
Yeah, I saw it as well. My guess is that he was trying to cheer KS up and try to instill confidence in him. KS didn't seem angry or upset necessarily, but he didn't look happy either, prior to that exchange.
 
I saw it I'm sure Painter was keeping Kendall grounded. Probably said something like shooting like him since Matt wasn't known for his shooting.
My sense is that Kendall is hard on himself and it messes with his confidence. He's playing very well, but he's struggling with his shot. I keep waiting for him to get past it. Hopefully he will break out of his slump for good soon.
 
I thought he said, hey Kendall, even ol # 12 could do 0-7, buddy.......
