Couldn’t disagree more about the defense. Purdue is brilliantly coached on D. That was one of the best offensive teams in the country that Purdue played tonight.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe it's your delivery and not your message?
Ah, so now its personal attacks when you cant deny what I am saying is accurate.
Is he not allowed to disagree? He didn't throw a tantrum or call you names. He simply disagreed. Meanwhile you melt into hysterics every time someone misses a free throw.
He can disagree sure. But he is wrong. And you are not entitled to being absolved from being wrong
Every victory Purdue collects proves you wrong.
Yeah, I'm standing beside the TV telling Kim what they are going to do after about 4 seconds around half court and such with two fouls to give when seconds later an announcer being on team fouls says they got one more when it went from 4 to 6. Great win...crappy announcers and lack of replays on TV
Every game proves me wrong how? I didnt say we cant win. This team is good enough to beat everyone, but we are choosing to do some things on defense that are making it harder.
I mean, that was kind of an obvious decision, if we’re being honest. That said, CMP’s 2nd half adjustments were awesome.
Candidly, your basketball knowledge is very clearly limited. Purdue doesn’t have ideal personnel defensively so there has to be some give and take on that end. If you can’t see that Painter and his staff are damn near maximizing the defensive potential of this team, that says a lot more about you than our coaching staff or this board.
Nope. The defense was not good until about 9 minutes and change left in the first half. 24 points in that time. The last 10 minutes 12 points. Purdue dug in and the scoring spree for Gonzaga was over. Also, Gonzaga is a very good offensive team, they have some skilled players, a good coach and run good stuff. No surprise they had some success, but Painter and company turned that around quickly.
Ah so its back to personal attacks because you lack any substance.
Ya, our offense was our best defense tonight. Fouling out their 2 top scorers and having a 3rd barely play tends to hurt that teams offense.
Definitely some gaps in first half, but made some good halftime adjustments. I thought Heide and Jones played well in second half keeping Nembhard in check.
Nothing more ignorant than thinking holding Gonzaga to 68 pts isn't good defense
They were not fouled out 10 minutes to go in half one. Ike fouled out late, the game was all but over. He looked glad to be out. But yes the offense is very good, the defense just ok. But I credit the defense in this and other games for righting the ship after slow starts.
Purdue drops Zach on pick and rolls and that’s where Gonzaga was trying to attack. If Zach follows his man instead of switching, the guard has an open shot. On non pick and rolls, Painter also plays the analytics and is OK if the other team shoots long 2s—they’re bad shots technically and low %. With Ike hitting 2 3s, he had hit 5 all year and hit 2 today, which you live with and then missed the rest going forward. Watson was a low volume 3 guy and made 1 and missed one, so that’s why he was open—playing the numbers. That was mostly second half.
Your reputation holds up again. Village idiot without a clue. And playing the victim when called out.
Why some people shouldn't drink. I suspect a deeper problem, though. And I'm sure he has heard about it outside the message boards.
Yes the way we were playing entering the tourney was highly worrisome. Painter seemed to change the offense a bit and get us back to how we played early.
Lol another personal attack, keep em coming. If it helps you cope with the inability to offer anything X and O related thats fine
I thought Painter should have taken the starters out with about two minutes to go. Risking injury by leaving them in.
Bro perhaps it’s your extreme view of needing an entirely new coach for d because of one half?
After reading through these posts I agree. This guy is an ass. If he hasn't been able to see the difference between this year's team and last year's, he's hopeless.
Funny to think how many times everyone here wanted to fire him in the past few years.
You could.. you know.. not post here.
3month break from the board for krazy
Sorry dude but you are just not the giver of absolution or the arbiter of right and wrong here.
So simple question, how many B1G games have you coached in again? How about just DIV 1? Or more importantly, how many tourney games have you coached in again? If the answer to any of those is zero.. then you are just a Wal-Mart "coach" stuck drawing up bad plays in the frozen food section.
I may be an idiot for taking your post seriously, but I enjoy the subject, so I will respond.
WISDOM - true understanding of the game and of Matt's game plan - which clearly worked when at least ten other D-1 Coache's have not in the past few weeks.
