Matt Painter on Gene Keady's Impact on Purdue and Him Personally | Goodman & Hummel | Field of 68

[@larrysexton2955]

Worked for Coach Keady as a grad assistant for two years. Probably the best education of my life. His values were rock solid and nothing was more important to him than Loyalty. Simply a great coach.

20 or so years later, people think of Matt Painter when they think of Purdue.

If they're under 27, I suppose...

[@BoilersRock]

Been watching Purdue BB since 1985 and I think Painter has earned that accolade for sure.

[@stevenkidd6761]

Painter was a skinny, goofy kid when he came to Purdue, no doubt lol

[@hosehead3179]

Keady also passed on how to choke in march

Lee Rose's Curse. We haven't been to the Final Four since his Joe Barry Carroll led team. 😕

[@gavinhadley7672]

..go elsewhere

He wasn't wrestling in the hotel room when we had Cuonzo and Big Dog crushing it all season long and Duke the next day....

I've been a purdue fan for over 40 years, don't tell me it's just bad luck that keady and Painter always lost when it counted

[@hosehead3179]

I don't think purdue would have made the tournament without our two wrestlers
