Better than getting dumptrucked by Rutger in Big Ten tourney
The Big Lead: Top 15 coaches right now

Losing by 7 isn't getting dumptrucked. Terrible, terrible loss but not dumptrucked.
Losing all four of your Sweet Sixteen appearances by an average deficit of 17.5 points is getting dumptrucked.
You guys were getting run out of the building, then scored garbage points at the end to make it close. I'll change it to "better than getting dumptrucked by Indiana State and IPFW at home" then. You gonna argue that one?
Nope, nothing I can do or say to try and change it cause that's just the way it was.
When you haven't made the tourney in two seasons, going 18-16 and 16-15, it's just hilarious to hear that fanbase talk shit about other programs, especially Purdue which has absolutely dominated them in recent years.
Damn Purdue fans might be the most sensitive in the B1G. Their coach isn't on some arbitrary list and they lose it.
That is what happens when have a lame duck coach and need a changing of the guards. See Purdue 04-05 and 05-06 seasons. 18-16 and 16-15 were much much better than 7-21 and 9-19.
In these past two seasons Purdue has one piece of hardware to show for it. That same piece of hardware IU won the year before. Purdue doesn't win shit when it counts. Congrats on dominating IU though. That will change very very soon. We all know that is the only goal and will keep Painter around.
We fired a coach with virtually the same track record as Painter. He gets extensions instead.
Except for, ya know, the winning games part. Purdue has won 65 percent of its games last 15 years. Indiana has won just above 50. Yikes.
2 Conference titles (1 shared)/4 Sweet Sixteens with an average loss of 17.5 points in each and the guy is a lifer. Yikes.
I know that you're flaming at this point. But objectively, it's kind of ridiculous that Miller would be listed as one of the top-15 coaches in the country based on on-court results.
If you want to talk about long-term potential and trajectory of the program, then sure I guess he can be on that list. But for a guy to only have one NCAA tournament run into the second weekend and a single one-game-above-.500 season at a major-conference program reeks of a homer take by the writer.
Not a big deal by any stretch - or an argument that Painter should be on the list - but let's not pretend the results warrant his inclusion.
I think the majority of us agreed with that on the first page. JohnHoosier got all upset and ThreeTwaun joined along.
I agree that it's too early for Archie to be on this list. He might be one day but he shouldn't be on there yet.
I sometimes forget there are people who don't have JohnHoosier on ignore.
Not upset at all. Have had like 4 iu fans respond after i said he shouldn't included. I don't think painter is top 15 either. He's definitely better than archie though.
Being more accomplished and better are two different things.
No huggy bear... It's okay, somebody has to be the bad guy
Real talk, he's taken some lackluster talent, coached them up and fouled his way to some pretty successful seasons recently. Plus he has long term success as well

Believe Painter was one more conference title and 1 more sweet 16 than Crean had at IU with 3 more years.
Yeah I forgot about him, he's had a heck of a career. Surprising he doesn't make more of these lists.
Huggins should be ahead of everybody ranked 10-15 except Marshall.
The fact that the list was put together by an Indiana homer makes sense, because including Miller doesn't.
Uh? Dominated? You haven’t been passed the S16 and in every S16 game you’ve played, you’ve been dump trucker. Not really sure that’s what I call “dominating.” But not gonna lie, you guys love your regular season wins, head to head records and B10 Regular Season Championships (even though half were won prior to WWII). Typical Purdue fanboy.
I'd love to see him get there. He has all the tools he needs now I would imagine.
Hiring decisions factor in the length of time a school would expect to have the coach stay there. Considering he's 108 years old, I'd think that would be a significant ding to his resume'. A debate of the best coach right meow does not, or should not, take into account the number of years they're expected to continue coaching. He's currently a more talented coach than at least a handful of the guys on that list.
Today I learned that Sean Miller is a better coach than Jim Friggen Boeheim, the guy who shows up to the F4 every couple years driving a garbage truck instead of a team bus.
I haven't done an either/or list but Miller has at least maintained a top notch program .. until he (and several other coaches) got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. It cost him at least a couple of recruits and a big downgrade in rating for me. He drops, probably off of my list. Definitely out of the top ten if I am looking to hire a coach.
I look at it the same as i looked at Chip Kelly when he left Oregon football in jeopardy of some NCAA sanction. They eventually got a wrist slap but might have suffered more if he had stayed. Yeah, he is responsible (along with Phil Knight) in bringing the program to top notch but his recruiting issues resulted in Oregon's dip over the past couple of years. It dropped him below Belotti and Brooks on my list and who outside of Oregon remembers them?

Who is the “we” in the final sentence? You’re starting to sound like SNU. Slippery slope.
