You absolutely trashed him. Reed could barely move/jump against BYU and Illinois and you're questioning his heart/toughness.

It's not all about roses and drinking the Kool-aid but you constantly denigrate our players and make these terrible takes.

Distant past? What are you even talking about?

I stand by it - I don't think Tarris is the kind of kid that would play well through pain. He might go out there. There are some guys that can grit pain out and find ways to be effective, some can't. The kid has a tough time staying consistent even when he's coming off the bench. Love him as a player, I just think it's important to give him consistency.

Posters are referring to St Peter's with Painter to evaluate him as a coach today - who cares about that. That doesn't take away from what he's done more recently. Coaches need time, just like players, to figure things out. Painter has over 500 wins and a 70% winning percentage at Purdue.

I'm curious as to how you could possibly have any clue as to how much pain he was in?

Yes it's possible that it was at a level that some could play through, but it is also possible that it was at a level that some warriors couldn't tolerate. We don't have any was of knowing and I personally find it mind boggling that someone would not only jump to a conclusion like that, but also share it on the internet.

You said he doesn't strike you as a kid who can tough out some pain. You said this after he just toughed it out through pain against BYU and Illinois to help the team win both. You also said his body language was terrible.

Before Ewing screwed everything up, they were one of the top programs in the country. Cooley is doing his best Hurley impression to put the pieces back together.

There is a quote out there that Ed Cooley did not find the cupboard bare when he arrived at Georgetown, there was no cupboard at all. Ewing left nothing.
