@kyelich23 @IHSAA1 @RaiderUpdates @MVillePirates @RaidersGBB @JaneCSchott The crew earned the spoils and then some. Job well done

I met & worked with another female official named Kenya, great job! We were spoiled by Jerry with sandwiches a great staff & table. We officiated 2 hardworking teams Merrillville vs Harrison, great sportsmanship! @IHSAA1 @RaiderUpdates @MVillePirates @RaidersGBB @JaneCSchott

@kyelich23 @RaiderUpdates @IHSAA1 @JaneCSchott Oh man, I MISSED IT!!!!

@RaiderUpdates Jerry and his staff are amazing hosts! Worth the 90 minute drive. We were spoiled after officiating the girls game. If you want to become an official we can help you . @IHSAA1 @JaneCSchott

@brianneubert Benefit of being really physical on D, sooner or later the fouls will even up and you get away with a few, especially at home

Braden Smith stayed in with two fouls. Need stops with this lineup. As amazingly always happens in college basketball, fouls went from 6-1 in #Purdue's favor to 6-5.

@indi500fan1 @DougGriffMAX983 He was bottom of the conf in salary. Mid conf would put the coach at 5.5-7 mil.

@DougGriffMAX983 They paid Walters plenty of dough, just picked a guy with a surprisingly weak resume.

Also what stood out was Bobinski making it clear that money will be no object when luring a new coach to West Lafayette. Paraphrasing, Purdue will do whatever it takes to get it right.

@walkeri141 Go look at who Ohio State played in non-con. IU got an easier conf schedule, that’s not their fault. The playing someone in non-con days are over, no reason for it when your conf has at least 5 teams that’ll be top 25 most years and you’re likely playing 3 of them.

Genuine question for IU followers: You just had an 11-1 season. Clearly this program is in good health. Do you really want a Non-Con of Old Dominion (FCS until 2014), Kennesaw State (FCS until 2023) and FCS Indiana State? Feels like this is just making the IU discourse worse

@kraigbowers34 The other absurd thing is it all gets piled on Bobinski. The board at PU has proven over and over to be tightwads on athletics. They made a huge deal about what they shelled out for a coaching staff but we were still bottom 3rd in B1G. That’s the board IMO

Based on a lot of posts I’m seeing today, a lot of people have never been in charge of hiring/firing or have been and truly believe they’ve never made a single bad hire in their life. Kudos to you I guess. SMH

@Coach_H_HHS It’s a start but they have to work on softening the non-con schedule or the next dude will be right back here in 2 years

@StockTalks21 I find 5 bad things the defense did, Nelson and the other weak side guy are tied for the least concerning bad thing. Guy on ball gets ROASTED, Sears is nowhere close enough to help and foul line dude is still waiting to switch on a screen as the ball goes up. Fix those 3 first

@zeltwang Yes he was part of the “opposite side” defender with Nelson. But Nelson wasn’t impacting that shot. You need look to rebound at that moment and he let their mobile 7 foot center get an easy put back. Can’t happen

There is so much to unpack here for Alabama…And it’s all bad 🤦🏻‍♂️ 1. Easy blow by 2. The two opposite side defenders don’t even realize it because they are essentially face guarding. 3. Four players aimlessly going towards the basket. 4. Grant Nelson misses box out to lose game

@nasickler @BeneathThePaint Bullseye, to borrow a word

@BeneathThePaint I do not understand how no one realizes it's the Board of Trustees. C'mon, man!

Mike Bobinski is going to fire Ryan Walters today. This does not change the fact that Bobinski is an absolute loser who wanted to bring him back but was forced into it. I don’t know that Mung Chiang cares about sports enough to do anything but he should fire Bobinski today too

@TheRebuildingYr If Walters is still the coach by this time tomorrow, be as pissed as you want to be. Firing the OC pretty much locked Walters in for the rest of the year unless he did something massively bad like hit a kid. Firing him two weeks ago solves nothing

At what point is it too toxic to keep Walter

@MadisonSurface @BallStateFB Good luck young lady.

just completed my last day w/ @BallStateFB ♥️ In the span of 5 seasons I’ve been a student, a GA, & a full time staff member. This place opened up so many doors & pushed me to grow daily. Thank you for believing in me BSU - Go Cards!

@PeytonCulver @Coach_H_HHS @BoilerFootball Become? We been cheap for a LONG time

@walkeri141 Maybe one should consider that Bobinski doesn’t actually have the authority to fire Walters? I’d bet a decent share of $ he can’t decide to spend the funds necessary to do this without approval from the board. Not like we don’t have a rep for being cheap on athletics

Purdue will not get a dime from me. I will come on gamedays to support the All American Marching Band (who deserves your time and support) I will park off campus, I will go to Slayter for the band, and then I'll leave. Ross-Ade can be a ghost town if this is what Bobinski wants

@mitchrxguy @HammerAndRails Same

@HammerAndRails I was a student when he played, how you think I feel

This can’t be Painter’s 20th season as Purdue’s coach because I was a student during his first. That would mean…

@kyelich23 @HCHSWildcats @IHSAA1 @LCAOA @Nixie774 @JaneCSchott @CalvertjJulie When you coming back to Lafayette? Need to stock up on gum😂

We cannot escape a JV overtime so we started the Varsity game a little late. @HCHSWildcats tonight! They were great hosts! It was great working for Coach Larry and Coach Eric two legends! @IHSAA1 @LCAOA @Nixie774 @JaneCSchott @CalvertjJulie

@kraigbowers34 I might be making more of that -13 than what I should but I’m going to say that’s why Berg is going to keep getting minutes until at least January and honestly the rest of the year. TKR can’t be the tallest guy on the floor for this team.

@zeltwang Was -13. All minutes with him at 5 had Cam at the 4. 99% sure.

Not trying to make any grand statement with this or take too much away from it, but by my math, this was +/- of each player while they were at the 5 spot: Furst +1 Berg -3 Burgess -4 TKR -13

@kraigbowers34 My contention for the last 2 years is the combo of Smith/Loyer creates defensive issues that Edey/Jones covered for. Who can best mimic Edey at that task? TKR and Heide might be fine if you had two 6’6 guards plus Colvin. Just don’t see TKR/Heide as the answer with 2&3 out there

@kraigbowers34 I guess I’m interested in the results of Heide at 4 and TKR at 5. TKR is a good player but he’s not at all a rim protector. I’m not sure I see a starting lineup of that 4/5 combo being successful with Smith/Loyer, don’t care who the 2 is. Too many easy looks will be given
