Painter Did Not miss those 3 Point shots!!!

He did not get the message to his team to get the ball to the 7’4 guy the last 12 minutes, his unwillingness to run any kind of zone led to another loss to a double digit seed…a 16 beat a 1 for only the second time in history of 64 team field. This is even worse than the North Texas loss and I really didn’t think that we could hit a lower point than that. I’ve never been a fire Painter guy, but come on, at some point you have to deliver on the biggest stage.
 
Purdue hasnt made shots for a month and a half and won games. That being said how does Painter not scheme a better offensive plan. Was his plan for his team that cant shoot 3s to jack up as many as they did? How about Edey? One shot the last 12 minutes?? How does that happen?? Is FDU suddenly the greatest D in the country? No, they are actually one of the worst which makes it sting even more. I have defended Painter before but i cant tonight. This is fireable. Wont happen but it is a fireable performance.

Did you not see the constant 5 guys in the paint and double front and back AND weakside defender on edey??? The team FORCED us into those 3s as they should.

YOU CANT WIN WITH BACK TO BASKET CENTRIC OFFENSE. PAINTER IS A CLOWN AND THINKS OTHERWISE

Worked great most of the game and all year. We just stopped giving him the ball.
 
He says he recruits his kind of players . Non athletic and slow . We have missed out on all the athletic guards cause no one wants to play where the main objective is to walk it up and throw it inside. Where is the foot speed needed to play deep into the tournament ?
 
I thought the zone Painter had the team practice last week knowing his guys may not be able to guard these quick players was genius. Won the game for us…oh wait. The slashing athletic players came in handy when the threes weren’t falling, great recruiting Matt..oh wait.

The confidence you instilled in your players to step up in this tournament was great to see rewarded with clutch play and confident shooting, hitting 40% from three. Oh wait, they choked again ( different players, same choke).
 
Krazychicagod, so its that simple huh? Just throw a bunch of bodies at Edey and its a loss because we cant shoot? Damn, its a miracle not every team in the country didnt try that? Oh wait they did? This is on Painter. He knew how they would defend Edey. What was his solution? To jack 3s? They just lost to one of the worst defenses in the nation. Painter has to be better.

It’s not a coincidence that his best tourney team was guard oriented. Yet, he’s still stuck in the 70s and Keady style who thinks the offense has to run through the low post.

Painter just can't or doesn't adjust. His plays are just that and never gets adjusted.

As many have already stated... This is 18 years of tourney failures... How you can consistently find excuses for this just tells me you're too prideful to admit you were wrong... People have talked about the double digit seed losses but don't forget VCU and the Cincinnati collapse...
