Just as much evidence to support that as there is the claim I was replying to.
No, because he has delivered 0 Final Fours in 18 years.
A coach's job is to get players open shots coach painter did this if you watch the game you would know this they were wide open what a coach can't do is take the shots for them this team always plays better when they're Underdog so do most teams if a Coach could coach that out of them there would be no upsets in the tournament coach Painter is a fantastic coach period.
In his 18 years, Painter has never beaten a seed more that 1 seed lower (maybe St Mary’s, but they don’t count) .
What March statistics do you have to back up the “fantastic” claim?
Saying a coach can’t make the shots could be claimed by any coach in the history of basketball.
You are not a Purdue fan, so you have nothing in it, other than to stir things up.
Yeah…… that was a good ride……..just watch that last step it’s a doozy
Prove me wrong. Show me where he beat a team seeded more than 1 sees higher. (Again, if you’re going to list St Mary’s, that’s a pretty low bar).
Yes.
No. I predict he either.....
He breaks through for a NC with Edey who stays.... or with Colvin & Catchings.
Or Negative recruiting and nil works against him and Purdue slumps to mid pack team where that will get him fired in 2-4 years.
But right now he is very, very safe. I know why it's a discussion, but no one, absolutely NO ONE fires a championship coach. Not going to happen. People are wasting their breath and key strokes.
You'all understand that if your enter the tourney as a high seed, you don't get to play other high seeds until the end, right? This whole "beat a higher seed" story is simply nonsense, making everyone feel worse. Yep, I didn't like the outcome either, but this Higher Seed story has no grounds.
I knew in my heart that our freshmen would eventually hit a wall. Almost every freshman does. We depended so heavily on Loyer and Smith that they just burned out. For some reason, maybe the balls?, we couldn't hit the ocean standing on the shore in that last game. Shoot like we did earlier in the year on those game-of-horse shots we had, and we run those guys out of the gym.
You know basically what you have posted here since the last loss...... except done by other coaches we compete against for transfers & recruits lol.
Like I said, "done by other coaches"
They have alot more great ammo now.
Does Painter do that?
Probably.
There have been several recruits that did not go to Purdue that said Painter never negatively recruits. Take it for what that's worth.
Wrong. I am a Purdue fan entitled to my opinion just as much as you are.
And last time I checked, its not Painter University.

Matt Painter's NCAA Tournament record draws heavy criticism following loss to Fairleigh Dickinson
Matt Painter and the Boilermakers fell short of expectations once again.

Not sure I believe that… had the national player of the year this season and couldnt beat a 16 seed.
Of course it sucks, but I recall when MSU had a kid named Valentine. He also made POY. MSU was upset that year by a 15 seed. Thought it was funny then, not so much now.

Perhaps the biggest questions that needs inquiry are not so much this portal player or that one, but WHY did players shoot so poorly and if Purdue can develop a more versatile 4?
I’d like to point my finger at the NCAA balls, but our shooting woes started earlier. Loyer went cold about the time he got injured, which was about half way through the BIG schedule. Gillis was hot in the PSU game but couldn’t repeat that feat. Furst and Gillis would usually hit 2-3 3-pointers somewhere in the game. They went cold too. Jenkins was MIA, and Smith tried but failed too.
I’m starting to wonder if (1) the team gets mentally tired by end of season, and we need to practice differently, or (2) something in the way Painter handles motivation is going off the tracks. I dont have answers, only wild speculation. I know damn sure it’s not zone defense or getting rid of the POY that is the reason for our guys missing wide open shots.
Purdue is the choke artist program of the decade after another March Madness implosion
When Friday's game was in the balance, Fairleigh Dickinson never wavered. Purdue ran, hid and hoped FDU would collapse.

That Was the Worst Loss in the History of College Basketball
Purdue’s failure Friday night was beyond remarkable.
Umm and how many Final fours and elite 8's for Izzo? He gets a pass. Let's see Painter get one FF before even hinting to compare to Izzo.
