Here is my take fan is short for fanatic. Momma bear will always be a mamma bear. I am an IU guy amd this is the worst offense i habe ever seen from a painter team. It is noones fault painter has not figured out how to use everyone in the offense without figuring the tipping point of to much Edwards or not enough Edwards. Eastern has had some bad games bit everyone is 8 games into the season. My point is that Treed will always support her son as any parent shoukd do even if she contradicts herself as to the criticism that is currently on the board and in my opinion doesn't help. Quit blaming the coach and comparing other players (i.e. simpson) to the situation at hand. The kid plays good defense but has not had a good start to the season at the position he started it out. Does that mean he is not a gokd player? NO. Does that mean he cant improve? No. But quit making excuses for everything, even as an IU fan painter has a pretty good track record of having a fluent offense and that is clearly not the case with Eastern at the point so if he changes it up let painter do what he does and that is coach and take the emotion out of it which is probably impossible being a parent and not respond to everyone and when you do respond dont bait people. And i have an honest question if they become more fluent on offense with Eastern coming off of the bench wouldnt that be better than him playing out of position? My question is how does painter incorporate Edwards into an offense that works with the pieces that he has cause Edwards can score pretty much anyway but is the way he is scoring is it"worth the squeeze"
Chief, are you high? I’m sure he’s letting Edwards do whatever he wants so that better recruits may go there because he can say “look how many shots Edwards got”. But no, she’s probably right. They should try being more balanced. For Purdue to beat good team he needs to efficiently score 24 points a game, not on 22 shots or however many he usually takes. As much grief as I give on this board I know they have some good players or they wouldn’t be at big 10 school. I’m sure they have other guys that are capable of scoring.
