One final thought: if you are a recruit why would you not want to play for Painter and Purdue? Loyal fan base, a coach who gives you a ton of freedom on offense & they are tough as nails!

Yesterday was an incredible moment for me & my family joining the Butler Family! I’ve always admired their values & rich tradition & it doesn’t get lost on me what an opportunity I have being named the next Women’s Basketball coach. Indy is home & now Hinkle is home! #ButlerWay

One thought driving home. Kids, thank your parents multiple times this week. The amount of money being spent to attend & send you to these cool events all over the country as well as the days they take off from work to come watch…..be sure to let them know you’re grateful!

‘12 second drill’ My favorite defensive drill in practice. Have to guard your area & try to maintain arms length away w/o fouling while offense tries to break the count. Then rotate to next ball handler. 7 total spots.

Heartbroken can’t describe how we feel today. The Purdue Basketball team mourns the loss of longtime radio voice Larry Clisby. He was a part of our team for over 40 years and as big a part of our program as anyone. We will miss you Cliz. 🎯🎯🎯
