North Carolina has at least as much talent as Kansas, at least. The game should be over 10 minutes into the 2nd half, just like the Purdue game last night? Shouldn't Butler also get beat by 30? They're gonna run into a buzzsaw, just like we did? Nothing you can do about it, right?
Of course not. They're Butler, but we have Painter.
Tom Crean wins two Big Ten titles and gets to three Sweet Sixteens in the last five years and Hoosier Nation is screaming for his head until he is fired.
Painter wins two Big Ten titles and gets to three Sweet Sixteens in 12 years and most Purdue fans are perfectly happy.
It's a question of expectations. I can only hope Bobinski has higher expectations for Purdue basketball.
There was a thread yesterday making fun of how Bobinski must have someone in line to replace Painter when he loses. Believe me, and I am far from alone, I wish he did have someone ready to replace Painter. How hard can it be to find someone to get Purdue to win two Big Ten titles and three Sweet Sixteen in 12 years . It can't be very hard.
And don't come on here and say I'm overreacting to one loss. When people came on here freaking out after losses to Minnesota and Iowa. I agreed with TC3 and the others that you shouldn't freak out after one game. Wait for the entire season before you judge. And it has be a successful season; in my opinion, a very okay season.
But when I complain about Painter, I'm not just complaining about one game, or even looking at one season. I am talking about a 12-year body of work. And at a school with the basketball tradition of Purdue, Painter's body is work is below average at best. At if you look at the last 50 years before Painter, his achievement are well, WELL below average.

You are a JOKE. Purdue won the Big 10 outright Championship this year and made it to the Sweet 16. Losing in the Regional to a team that is playing better then anyone in the nation. A team that is an elite program with elite recruits.
Let me ask you a question? Don't you have better things to do with your life then whine about Matt Painter being replaced? Is your life soo charmed that this is all you can do is whine about Matt Painter being coach.
Let me explain something to you.. IF YOU MAKE THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. If you make the tournament you have had a successful season. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! It is a crap shoot based on soo many variables to advance in the tournament.
Yes it is frustating to lose. It is very frusng but to demand Painter be fired or replaced. Especially when he has a good team coming back

You are a Joke. Let me explain something. Purdue just won the Big 10 Title outright since 1996 and went to the Sweet 16. Losing in the regional's to a much better higher seeded team. An elite program with better players on basically their home floor. AS good as Purdue's best player is he is a marginal NBA player.
IF YOU MAKE THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. YOU HAVE HAD A SUCCESSFUL SEASON. Losing is frustrating but as I said you don't fire a coach or even replace him after the season Purdue just had.
Your body of work comments are BS!! If Hummel does not get hurt in 2010 Purdue is likely a 2 or even 1 seed. That team sans Hummel made it to the sweet 16 losing to Duke. The 2012 team lost to Kansas in the 2nd rd after leading most of the game. A Kansas team that made it to the finals. Go look at the box score from that game. Look at that thin roster Purdue played with in that game.
Matt runs a clean program with good quality guys. He is bringing back a good team next season with or without Biggie. Purdue was in that Kansas game until 13 minutes were left. Butler was down 16 at halftime as I write this post. Butler is now down 20 with 11 mins left. I assure you no one at Butler is demanding their coach be replaced.
IU would not have replaced Crean if IU would have made the tournament. Crean on paper had more talent then Purdue. IU beat 2 #1 seeds early in the season and fell apart. HOW FREAKING EMBARRASSING would it look around the nation if Purdue announced it was replacing Painter today? The beating Purdue would take by the nation's sports media would be bad.
As I have stated in other post's. Fans come on here talking about Carsen Edwards and Haas need to play more... How that work out against Kansas? Kendall Stephens had love on this board which I am soo glad he is gone with his taking NBA 3's when the 3 point line was a college line.
Purdue has made the NCAA Tournament the last 3 seasons. Losing 2 tough 1st rd games in OT and making the Sweet 16 and winning the outright Big 10 Title. The first since 1996. Yet you want Matt gone. Matt admitted after 2013 - 2014 seasons he screwed up and recruited the same kinda guys that Crean recruited at IU which cost him his job. Talented players but not team guys.
You want Matt to do the same thing Keady did in the late 90's? Start recruiting talented but borderline student athletes with questionable character traits. It ended up costing Keady as Purdue got in trouble with the NCAA. Maybe Matt can hire some strippers and let them help recruit players in the Dorms ala Louisville.
Comparisons to Butler have been mentioned on this board. After the Villanova upset at Butler. Barry Collier stated when he was hired as AD. Barry was told the school had de-emphasized athletics. Barry stated that was going to change and the school invested money, mostly into the Basketball Program. Butler nailed it with Brad Stevens lucking into a legendary coach.
You want Purdue to be an elite BBall program. First put up more money and build elite facility's. Then build a fan base. Purdue's fan base is not nearly what IU's is.... In fact it's been reported Purdue John Purdue club is no bigger then NC State's. The only big sport at Purdue doing well right now is the Men's program. Yet Painter must be replaced because he has not advanced as far as poster's like this OP want them to advance in the tournament.
Did some IU fan make fun of you after Kansas lost? Get used to that in this state. Purdue does not have the fan base to support the kind of program alot of Painter haters are demanding.
Long winded post. But my point is as long as Purdue makes the NCAA Tournament under Painter. Painter has done well and everything after that is gravy. If Purdue starts missing the tournament then you have a legit argument to fire Painter.
As I finish this post Butler has cut NC lead to 11 with a lil min to go. Bottom line Butler and Purdue still lost. SC a 7 seed is beating Baylor a 3 seed by 17 pts. Butler kept from getting abused like Purdue did but Butler still lost. Kansas is better then NC and NC was not on it's home floor.
