- Anyone can lead when it is 80 degrees and sunny. Leadership is needed most when it is 20 degrees and a blizzard out. Watching Painter & Bennett handling these loses is pure class. The coaching profession needs more high character coaches like these 2!Matt Painter stuck around and thoughtfully answered every question after Purdue's loss to Fairleigh Dickinson. Moderator gave him an out by saying he was taking his last question. He then continued taking questions + answering to make sure media had what it needed. All class.

00:00 - When you constantly bring energy & passion for others, people want to see you have success. Uzzi Bird has been a huge part of our team's success with his leadership, energy and work ethic. Will never forget our teams reaction to Bird scoring the first points on senior night!
00:00 - Parker drawing up the first play of our scrimmage today. Have a feeling we will get a Technical for too many players on the court.
- Every job is not a transfer portal job," Some jobs have to be built with high school kids, 2 be able to sustain it over time. When youre building a different team every year, everyone's buy-in is not the same.
