Matt Painter: "I can't anoint a role out of thin air", turned down Kanon Catchings' return

[@falconhoward4032]

As someone who has coached Kanon, he's a good kid. Let's not speculate that he's some kind of crazy person or locker room cancer, but he can let his emotions get the best of him at times and is very expressive on the court. He's got some bad voices in his ear trying to sway him in a negative direction and some of the people who care about him (while still being very supportive and well-intentioned) think they have down their plan for him. He's immature, but he's got a good heart

Sorry to hear that he is hearing and listening to some bad voiced. Thanks for the insight.

[@stripeytawney822]

@@falconhoward4032 boiler fan here. I am not sure he got bad advice. The question is- is he a one and done player? If so max playing time is his ticket... and purdue this season does not have that for him. Now if he is a two and done guy maybe Purdue helps him.

[@johnreynolds4630]

Painter always speaks the truth. Doesn’t have to be to benefit of Painter or Purdue. Case in point watch the press conference after Purdue lost to FDU. He owned it and congrats he gave to FDU. He did this to show that no matter your ranking- no one is above the team and team morale. This happened before and it would have happened again.

[@jarvisda]

The sin was denying Saint Neubert!

[@AngryBoilerFan]

Braden and Loyer were NOT promised roles in any way. No shot Paint imagined Fletcher starting at the 2 over Brandon Newman. I know they didn’t really have a point and the door was open for Braden to walk into but there was still morty who was recruited as a point, even though he sucks. Paint wasn’t trying to “get the last laugh” when “outing” the truth of the Catchings situation. He’s an honest man and he was being honest about the situation. No reason for Painter to lie when he is known for telling the truth to a brutal fault and it really didn’t do any bad to Kanon or put him in a bad light towards BYU. He was just being honest, and honesty stings sometimes. Suck it up.

[@MrRbuck13]

Exactly. Braden was hurt the summer before his freshman year. Jenkins admitted at the end of the season saying that he thought he was going to come in and be Purdues starting point guard.

[@Shan_Cox]

Matt Painter Dude is the dude. Every team wants Matt Painter to be thier head coach. Maybe not for Xs and Os but for simple truth telling at every step.

[@ba47501]

Catchings was a typical 6'6" in state kid that Painter could get an early commit from. Then he grew into his natural role and become a nationally recognized recruit that in the OTE environment had the enfluence that led him in a direction that reflects the expectations all the other OTE prospects have. Money and promises.

[@brockstepler3956]

No apology needed fellas. Purdue fan here. Yall do great

[@charlespork23]

No, Painter didn't build that roster thinking that Braden/Loyer will start. He was trying to get Nijel Pack to come, who would have started over Smith. And Loyer wasn't a lock to start. The thought at the time was that Brandon Newman would start, b/c that would be his fourth year in the program, and he was much better built than Loyer.

[@3generboiler]

It’s all true. Katchings mom wanted him always to go to Purdue and mature. Kanon hasn’t wanted it for months now. Everyone saves face

[@jwfriar]

I think Greg hit the nail on the head. He didn't think Kanon was going to beat out Camden or Myles. Both those guys are more physically mature despite probably not having the ceiling that Kanon has. I've seen his highlights, he's not quite as explosive yet as Cam/Myles - both look like legit athletes who can both jump out of the gym. I think it's refreshing to say he can't anoint a role, but I think Greg is right that Paint knows right now that Kanon isn't there yet and that if he was, he'd have made it work.

[@stripeytawney822]

Under da bus..... whatever that means. KC wanted a guarantee that he starts. Painter wont give it. THATS IT DUDE, nothing more. Imagine Colvin's reaction to aomeone getting that guarantee. No bus, no compromise on core principles. All positions are earned.

[@charlespork23]

It isn't crazy that Painter appears the good guy. He stands up for his value and principles when other coaches might have craved to a talented teenager and just suck up to him and kiss his ass. It's easy to talk principles when it doesn't cost you anything. It's a lot more difficult when it actually costs you a supremely talented player, and your livelihood depends on these talented players winning you games.

[@pattypat-me1sq]

and don’t forget Kanon quietly de committed last summer too.

You’re right in saying that Kanon likely wasn’t gonna beat out Cam and Myles. That’s about all you were right about this video, Greg.

[@PFW1999PKT]

I don’t know how you can say this make Kanon look like he didn’t want to got to BYU. He didn’t commit to BYU the day after this came out. He may have second guessed his decision the next day but that doesn’t preclude him from liking the decision he ended up making.

[@mikecobarrubias7095]

Kanon is an adult making a lot money so he has to live with these types of decisions like everyone else. Welcome to the real world kid. Stop baby these kids. Kudos to paint

[@bradleyshilor3527]

Painter spoke the truth about Catchings. He wanted a guarantee of a known role as a starter with getting a lot of minutes to showcase himself so he could go to the NBA. These aren't just kids getting an education anymore now that they are getting big NIL deals they have joined the workforce as they continue their education. If i was an employer I wouldn't want someone who kept being wishy-washy about coming on board and they finally commit only to have them after hired question what their role will be compared to the rest of the staff you already have and then tell you i need a commitment of a getting the best spot without ever proving anything.

[@gamerespecter]

Catchings is at a spot where he will be better prepared for the NbA in 12-34 months. He’s making more money. He’s gonna have a larger impact on a very solid team. He wins. And I think Purdue will be okay too.

[@bigspaces9587]

Why is Carter being so irrationally hostile towards Painter's version of what happened? When have you ever known Matt Painter to be dishonest or vindictive towards recruits/other teams? Painter always takes the high road, is open and forthright with the media and runs his program the way a program should be run. I think you should give him the benefit of the doubt considering what he he said lines up precisely with how Catchings' family said it went down. Also, Painter was asked an interview question. It was not a prepared statement that was combed over by legal or run through a PR firm. It was an accurate description of what took place, off the cuff.

[@aidanjennewein441]

I don’t think it’s accurate to say Braden Fletch and Swanigan were annointed roles. Paint may have suspected they would beat out their competition for playing time and told them as much, but also there was way less competition at Swanigan, Fletcher, and Braden’s positions when they came in than Kanon had at his position. Braden and Fletch weren’t really competing with anyone good at their positions when they came in as freshmen, and Swanigan just had AJ Hammons to share minutes with when he got to Purdue. Hammons was heading out the door and Haas stank at that point. Kanon was competing with Cam Heide, Myles Colvin, and Caleb Furst. All very talented players.

[@davidkroot1498]

The family probably wanted him to stay in state close to home and then OTE probably made him rethink the decision

Don’t let a few idiots on twitter speak for the entire Purdue fan base. You two have done great coving the situation from the start. Both of you even predicted way ahead of time where he’d end up. Originally it was your opinion and it turned out to be correct. Even as a Purdue fan, I doubted the Kanon Catchings situation went down the way it did. I think it’s fair to doubt that things went down the way Paint said it did, but I tend to believe Painter. If Painter wouldn’t lie to get a recruit on campus I don’t think he would lie about how the situation went down. As for how Painter commented, I don’t think he had a premeditated response here. I think he was somewhat caught off guard by the pointed question and just answered it. I’m not sure he would’ve answered it so directly if he was more prepared for the question. Maybe he should’ve been prepared for it, but that’s just how I read his body language. Obviously all open to interpretation and I don’t think opposing fans/fanbases are wrong to doubt that Painter is accurately describing the entire story, but I personally do believe Painter. In any case, you two have done great covering the entire situation and have been completely fair and unbiased “media” members.

[@fzpb61]

What was he supposed to do. He decommited several times. If Paint didn't say what happened then it makes him look like the inmates are running the asylum. It wasn't a good match and he just said let's go our separate ways. He teeter-tottered several times... Why would you think he didn't do it again?

[@pattypat-me1sq]

Yeah that would have left the door open for Kanon to easily say he tried to back track but they didn’t want me vs Painter getting in front of it first. Not that KC would have probably ever mentioned it.

[@blakewidmer]

Good video. Greg, I accept your apology and think you handled this well. Carter, your sorry-not-sorry bounced. I think you are missing or exaggerating one point though Greg.....that is that the BYU visit and commitment came AFTER the Kanon camp purportedly asked back on the team, which Painter declined, and THEN Kanon actively visited other schools in the following days...but we all knew BYU was where he would end up because the OTE coach that got hired there was certainly at the root of some of this action. So it is illogical to think that BYU coaches or teammates feel like Kanon "didn't even want to come to BYU" -- all it says is that like 6 months ago, Kanon had uncertainties and those popped up again. He de-committed, reconsidered, but ultimately he chose BYU over OTHER optoins and is probably going to be just fine at BYU.

If Catchings demanded Painter not to play Furst over him at the 4, that is still ridiculous. You (talking about Catchings here) are not supposed to be bossing the coach how to coach. Coach will play whomever he sees fit. If you think you are NBA talent, if you think you are THAT good, why not compete and earn your minutes? You don't need guarantees from Painter to make sure you beat out Waddell and Furst. You just freaking beat out Waddell and Furst so that there's no doubt who should get the lion's share of the minutes. If you are so much better than Furst and Waddell, do you think Painter won't try to play you as many minutes as you can handle? That's literally what he did with Zach Edey and Braden Smith.

Lots of speculation here guys; lots of maybes, and lots of snarkiness (especially from you Carter). Yes, you're entitled to your own opinion, but you're SUPPOSED to be professional enough to separate out your MSU fanboy crap, if you want to be considered a legit media outlet. So, what you guys don't necessarily see, is the history inside the program here. 1) Kanon has been wishy-washy since his original recruitment. It was what, maybe a year ago, the fanbase went through like 3-4 days (and literally thousands of posts on GBI), when Kanon wavered on his commitment (changed his Twitter and/or Instagram page away from the Purdue theme he put up when he committed to Purdue), and then made comments in an interview that seemed to hint that he wasn't as "into" Painter and Purdue as he once was, and might re-open his recruitment? That was the second time (I believe), that he wavered around his commitment. 2) You can't forget the B.S. that Paint has been through with the likes of Ronnie Johnson, Nojel Eastern (and moreso: his mom), DGL (and his mom), The CJ Walker decommit ("not enough sauce"), and the headcase that was Kelsey Barlow, when he was let go from the team after the incident at the bar, (and while he was on "team probation"). You also can't forget Biggie, and his back and forth with MSU. There's been a lot of shit around Purdue recruits, and their handlers/other coaches being "in their ear" about what they "deserve" or could get, by going somewhere else. NIL has just exacerbated this problem (IMHO). I don't blame Paint for saying: "enough", and telling it like it is. And: why yes, I do see things through Black and Gold glasses..

Y'all do a great job

Good final note from Greg to wrap it up at the end, a whole lot of Paint praise for a lot of Paints mistakes. I would be pretty embarrassed losing my highest level recruit ever then speaking about him like that. Carters right though no matter what, Paint does no wrong

U should be more embarrassed being an IU fan

Kanon isn’t Paint’s highest level recruit ever.

Im not buying the coaches story. Evetything considered with NIL, kanons old coach, his desire to be a one and done player. Purdues coach tells him no guarantees so he decommitts then turns around the next day and says he wants to return? What changed? Did he no longer want to be a one and done player. Was the NIL bigger at purdue? Was the purdue coach being truthful?

Painter is just trying to save face on losing a prized recruit to #PROvo

Soak it in buddy.

It’s just shows you how much Purdue is always hated. Matt Painter is awesome and Purdue will be a top 10 team this year and IU still sucks.
