I just wanted to re-post this here from the front page for posterity as I think it was an excellent media call for Painter and he's always so good at being upfront with the guys. it's 35 minutes but I thought it helped clear up a lot of questions on many topics that have floated here. I highly encourage folks here to give it a listen as a lot of times people get so worked up in conversations between fans on the board sometimes they forget or misquote the things that come directly from Painter himself. Talks about Biggie, strengths of the team, redshirts, other good stuff.

Me personally, I forgot that he can enroll in online course while doing the USA basketball thing so that makes me feel a little better about the timeline. But the number one thing I loved was how he described Biggie and said something to the affect of, what people don't understand is that if he was 5'10 he'd still be a division 1 player.
