I am much more excited about a coach that can build consistent regular season winning teams, than I am a coach that has had one fluke run in the tournament.

Painter has finished 1st or 2nd in the Big Ten four straight years.

God you're a pussy.

I never said I didn't want Painter. I just said he hasn't been past the Sweet 16 yet.

Painter has shown that he can recruit. Anderson has shown that he is friends with people who give birth to good basketball players.

Painter's teams actually run an offense. Anderson's teams just hope for a layup line in transition.

Given some of the players he has gotten in, I don't think that Matt Painter would have lost out on Brad Beal and Ben McLemore, and potentially Otto Porter as well.

painter's lost his best player to injury 2 years straight....


they'd probably have an elite 8 if Hummel were healthy


haven't followed them closely, but his kids seem to play hard for him and winning a conference matters...it's proof you can coach

Would it be completely outside the realm of reality to wish we could get someone like Martin into the system as a glorified Assistant that is the heir apparant?

It is said he might not be ready to jump from Mo St, but would be a coup as far as recruiting in MO for AAU and such. He has big time MO roots, so if he ends up head coach someday and excells, it stands to reason this would be his destination job and would be hard pressed to leave if everyone come calling.

If we make progress on someone like Painter, or someone that we aren't sure would be ready to stay here for the forseeable future, it would be great to have a guy that we know from within that we can move up and have recruits that want to play for him in the first place, sort of like Huggins and Martin as Kstate.

Hrm...although now that I look at Wiki, it looks like he worked for Painter before at Purdue and left to go to Mo St...so it would be going backwards to go from head coach there to working for him again at MU.

His ties to the state just seem to be a big thing to see lost as far as recruiting.

Matt Painter is the most realistic "home run" hire we can make as Stevens isn't coming here....will he leave Purdue, esp. with Hummel coming back next season? I wonder.

Interested to see Richmond tonight, we'll see how much of a viable candidate Mooney is.

Look, an article that rivals that KU=America article in stupidity: http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...1431fecde.html

:facepalm:

Dude, McClellan writes articles like that as a joke. He did the same thing in the summer when he said the Cardinals should trade Pujols for Zambrano. He's not serious.

I just read that Pujols column. He's not actually a Cubs fan, then?

I don't think he is. He writes articles like those from to time. A lot of people were caught off guard with the Pujols one, though.
