2021-22 Purdue Basketball Homework: Matt Painter

Welcome to the final entry in our homework series, and, as always, it is about coach Matt Painter. One of the many reasons I love having Painter as a coach is his openness to evolve. He is set apart from his peers because he is willing to adapt to his team’s strengths in individual seasons. Sure, it often takes some time to find what those strengths are, but once he does, Purdue thrives.

Managed Expectations: Just How Good is Matt Painter in March?

Matt Painter, Isaac Haas, Robbie Hummel, Duke Blue Devils men's basketball, Lewis Jackson, Kansas, Cal State Fullerton Titans men's basketball, Oklahoma, Arizona, Missouri. I am ride or die with Coach Painter. He has earned enough goodwill over 16 seasons that barring an utter collapse (I am talking three straight years minimum of missed NCAA Tournaments) he is staying at Purdue as long as he wants. His 2019 coaching job remains his best, and his regular season job this year was fantastic.

IU sportswriter pens a masterpiece: what-if Matt Painter coached IU FanFic

This must to be the most embarrassing thing that I have ever read from any sports fan. A literal manifestation of lust, splurted onto a keyboard, about your arch rival’s coach LOL. The details in this FanFic are enough to make you spit out your coffee, including a steamy Painter-Knight sleepover at ol Bobby’s house where our boy Matt begs for his "dream school’s" daddy to offer him. After a tantalizing pondering by our golden hero, Bob finally extends that offer to Painter. Matt says yes immediately, and then makes the most painful phone call of his life to Gene - OH I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE whew, sorry about that, gonna have to save the rest for later ;)
