Does this make Shake 3-2 vs Painter?
Ever since his VCU days, I've really liked the way his teams play with their relentless pressure D, guards who can penetrate and kick out, and transition offense.
I've always thought he'd be a great replacement at Purdue when Painter hangs it up.

He is from Wisconsin and may have been one reason he left Texas to Marquette, or was Texas about to run him out of town? I can't remember. He is building a good program there, NCAAs every year .. but ... he might get tired eventually fighting UCONN every year in the Big East. You never know in college coaching or coaching in general. Some like moving around.

I knew you couldn’t resist!! 😂 but yeah he had his guys hyped for that game…even after a hard fought battle with Maryland. It seemed we thought we could just show up and win.

Egads, you are slipping Lenny - I think he's actually 4-2 vs Painter (VCU, Texas (2), and Marquette).

How time flies. It seems like just yesterday......

Memories....light the corners of my mind.........misty water-colored memories.......of......the way...... we were......

Sorry, folks.....I thought I could get through this better......look away...... 😢

Shaka has 1 conference title. That's kind of shocking. He has a good team this year.

PJ Thompson will be next Purdue coach.

No way. I think that would be a huge risk.

He has time. I would like to see him do 2 things in that time........
1. Spend time elsewhere 1-2 stops for a broader education.
2. Be more involved in recruiting.

But...he and Painter do have the same number of FF appearances and until last year at least, Painter had some embarrassing tourney flops.

Same to you and yours.
It's my favorite holiday: Eat, drink, watch football, repeat.

I always liked Shaka, but as far as a coach to ever replace Paint, my guy would be Greg McDermott, he runs a similar system and recruits similar type players that Paint does

Two good guys. Great coaches.
But why would either come to Purdue? Kinda a lateral move.

Tv revenue. Purdue will have better facilities and I expect higher pay all around including for recruits. Also the head coach salary is endowed by the most generous cash gift in Purdue sports history.

And last year was his first time to sweet 16 since…. Well… you know.
