I’ve been around Purdue basketball as long as I can remember. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this much hatred and frustration thrown at a coach who is doing so much for the program. Even at the end of the Keady years when it seemed clear to everyone that it was time for good ol’ Gene to hang it up he still had broad support among the fans. Perhaps I only feel that way because there was only the infancy of social media at that point. Maybe if Coach Keady was at the end of his run during the social media age the calls for his head would have been more vicious.
Is Coach Painter the Problem?
