BGleas Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ton of respect for this kid! A true competitor. With that said, Painter will have to closely monitor whether he’s helping or hurting the team given the limitation of the elbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I suspect the kid is gonna play. And kudos to him for it. But it will be interesting if they even need him tomorrow.......that will be the question. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a tabletop fracture that I had. I finished the game, but damn, when the adrenaline wore off I felt like puking! It took several weeks before I could do anything with that arm. Could barely tie my shoes. Thankfully it was my "off" arm. I'm not sure how Haas is going to be able to play tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Any Dr's on here? Can Haas injure himself any worse by playing fracture the end of the line? I applaud the kids guts. The tourney has that way of bringing out gutty performances. Just wanted to make sure I understood. Sometimes it's the adult/coach responsibility to step in and say sorry kid...can't risk additional injury for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's the adult/coach responsibility to step in and say sorry kid...can't risk additional injury for you. Think Scott May from '75 Excerpt from Wikipedia: In his last two seasons with the school, 1974–75 and 1975–76, the Hoosiers were undefeated in the regular season and won 37-consecutive Big Ten games. The 1974–75 Hoosiers swept the entire Big Ten by an average of 22.8 points per game. However, in an 83-82 win against Purdue, May broke his left arm. With May's injury keeping him to 7 minutes of play, the No. 1 Hoosiers lost to Kentucky 92-90 in the Mideast Regional. The Hoosiers were so dominant that four starters – May, Steve Green, Kent Benson and Quinn Buckner – would make the five-man All-Big Ten team. The following season, 1975–76, the Hoosiers went the entire season and 1976 NCAA tournament without a single loss, beating Michigan 86–68 in the title game. Indiana remains the last school to accomplish this feat.[2][3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacarcio Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 4 minutes ago, rico said: What if Painter gets them to the EE? FF? Championship game? Mike Davis made a championship game. Heck UConn just fired their coach that won them a championship. One good run doesn't make you a Great Coach and similar to Mike Davis one good run could keep a school from moving on as fast as it should. This isn't a shot a Painter just examples of situations that show a good run isn't a predictor to future runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Maybe it's my view of Purdue...but they haven't really accomplished much yet in my opinion. Sweet 16 was an absolute minimum even with Haas injury. If they beat Tech on Saturday morning (when game ends) that will be a successful run this year but this was a veteran team, ranked top 3 in country for most of conference play and a 2 seed beating a 10 seed. Maybe I'm mistaken but that's not a big accomplishment yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhunter Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 So I know Purdue hasn't done much in the tournament over the years, but Painter has has several solid seasons, especially late. I don't think they can do any better than him, and I don't see them trying anytime soon. He's a good coach, just not a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
