Per a Pete Thamel tweet. Good for him. Wonder how this will shake up the staff?
SI reporting Jack Owens to be HC at Miami (OH)
- Thread starter TC4THREE
- Start date
Congrats to him. Way to parlay team success into a HC gig.
Now a recruiter like ZO would be a nice replacement.

I imagine the other coaches shift a bit and Kenny Lowe shifts as well...unless these guys like their spots.
Maybe we can hire the dad or AAU coach of that 5 star player that is considering us.
I've always thought Kenneth Lowe would be great recruiter as an assistant. Has the personality and is Purdue guy. Hope he gets a shot.
I don't know Kenny, but remember when he played with Austin Parkinson in AAU and Purdue was trying hard to get Carron (sp?) Butler that went to Huggie Bear. Bruce said he was a great guy and player. Is he a saleman? There would be some that would be against him since he has Purdue ties thinking someone unfamiliar with Purdue might be better to work with those familiar with Purdue...think about that
Based on some comments by Brian in recent chats, Lowe could likely follow Owens wherever he might go.I don't know Kenny, but remember when he played with Austin Parkinson in AAU and Purdue was trying hard to get Carron (sp?)

Didn't Caron Butler ended up playing for Calhoun and UCONN, TJ? I remember. though, at one time Purdue was a leader for him. Huggie was still at Cincinnati, then.
Would Tom Crean be interested in interning under Matt Painter until he gets another HC opportunity? He is a good offensive mind and a recruiter. Forget his experience as a HC. It seems a lot of former HCs are going the route of interning/shadowing at bigger programs (Jeff Capel at Duke, almost everyone at Alabama).
I laughed while sitting on my flight when I read this.
Once I contained myself, this would be interesting. Despite him sucking as an Xs and Os guy he can recruit.
I just can't see this happening. I think they would drive each other nuts. I could see Painter taking him out behind the dumpsters and beating the every loving shit out of him by mid-season.
I think his recruiting has even declined since kids care less about who Dwayne Wade is than they did 10 years ago.

Butler played for Jim Calhoun at Connecticut.
you are correct again...brain fart...Caron did go to uconn..Da Sean Butler was at WV
The Butler did it in the library with a candlestick.
The real brain fart was Caron Butler's for choosing Connecticut over Purdue.
too many people wouldn't have a clue
Just trying to keep the conversation lively. Ok....yeah....I remember that now; tough to see that injury again ......the harsh realities of the game.
I was always partial to Miss Scarlet or Mrs White with the revolver in the Lounge.
True, but I could see it. Not too many other places he could have gone where he had a valid excuse for mistakes on the court: "Coach, I'm not fluent in your language: I just couldn't understand what you were telling me to do!"
I appreciate it. I tell all the ladies at work I need a lot of women to take care of me...and I leave it at that
Though there's always the risk of having to wear a "puffy" practice jersey.
This is someone's idea of a really really sick joke, right???
Another good coach leaving the program.............wish him luck!!! Selfishly, of course, I hope CMP finds a good replacement. I think the value of these coaches is underestimated in the role that they play with the HC, the team, and the recruits...............bittersweet goodbye to Coach Owens!! Good luck!!

I tried...look what happened to my eye.
I don't know...I think it's a lead pipe cinch.too many people wouldn't have a clue
Having a good associate coach which can mentor to the players and be a great seller of the program is a big thing. I really hope that Painter can find the right guy for this position. Would love to find the next great recruiter that can bring in quality players.
Col mustard, library and candlestick
Look here, ol' Boy....is that a zone you're trying to pass off or just a saggy man? Jolly good show I say even if the Queen banishes me.
ya know...a few of us are showing just how old we are...Look here, ol' Boy....is that a zone you're trying to pass off or just a saggy man? Jolly good show I say even if the Queen banishes me.
Yes, but the good thing is.....the older you get, the less you care/worry about showing it.
Isn't that the truth! Although I can point to quite a few people that would say I never ever cared very much...
