I am good with agreeing to disagree and moving on...when I hear Painter talk about a recruit's "ability to pass the ball" I generally cringe, as, if THAT is what he is calling attention to, it generally concerns me as it should be the last thing I hear him talking about with respect to a recruit's abilities...other coaches don't talk about it at big-time programs because it is just expected that a guy can do it.
Again, I will concede that at Purdue it may matter a bit more than at so many other places just because Purdue is one of the very few programs to play through the post, but, the idea that Purdue is recruiting guys because of their "ability to pas the ball to the post" is a bit much, and, again...more than comfortable with the idea that other big-time programs are not focusing on the same...my guess is that most are concerned with the guys' ability to score, create and, ultimately, win games...guards are how you win, and, win big...and, generally not because they possess the ability to make post-entry passes well.
