Same compliment for the AD with Hope and Hazell? Just trying to follow things.

Iā€™m not going to get into the whole university...geez why canā€™t you just give it up. Painter is regularly in a group of best coaches in the country. He can flat out coach. He doesnā€™t get the best talent in the B1G but he does more with less then just about any coach I know. He was a young coach that struggled in the tournament early but he was at least getting them there. They made a good decision to hire him and a good one to keep him through some lean years. At this point he has the program rolling. Continue to take shots at him and the program...itā€™s fine...but for someone I consider a very smart person itā€™s a dumb take in my opinion. I just hope Archie can get our program to their level.

All good. Just see Painter differently....because I don't know of anyone that thinks he's routinely in the group of best coaches in the country. Good guy sure. Almost runs a clean program sure. Best coach? Doubtful.Ā 

As I said all good though...just see him differently.Ā

He is usually ranked in the top 20Ā of college coaches every year.

It's interesting to look at Painter's most successful runs, from 2007-2011 and 2015-2018.Ā  Those happen to be some really down years for IU.Ā  It's almost as if his success is predicated on IU sucking.Ā  If we ever get back to a perennial power Painters best years will be behind him.Ā

I don't think that has anything to do with it because Keady had successful seasons even when we were good.

Curious where youā€™d put him both in terms of best coaches in the conference and in the country?
