nice article, thanks for sharing

It's good to know that Painter is using analytics to some degree for his team's benefit.

What a fantastic article thanks for sharing. It really further shows how Painter is evolving and that there is a legitimate and proven method to his lineups.. We may want specific players to start or be on the court more, but the data shown shows things are getting the right way.

I'm glad he is our coach and anyone wanting to run him off is flat out of their mind to do so.

Some good stuff in there and I like the use of analytics. But I do not see any mention of the obvious - that the post players also must be separated out of necessity. If the "big 3" were on the court together more and playing the same number of minutes, then you would have situations where only 1 of them was on the floor. Or you would have to give more minutes to IH, which may he may not be capable of. They are literally the only 3 true forwards that play meaningful minutes. Do the math.

In the end it is still sound strategy what Painter is doing, and props to him for optimizing the minutes, but the writer did a poor job not at least acknowledging the depth issue as a big part of the equation.

Perhaps Norlander assumed that the readers already knew about Purdue's depth on the frontline.
