[sooner8]

**** "Hoops" Weise reporting 7 year 14 mil.Now Purdue goes after Shaka!!They are dropping like flies.Everyone seems to be getting who they want & not messing around,except Joe C.& OU...

 

[JustOkSooner701]

Joe isn't messing around... no one wants the job

 

[NickZepp]

As far as I know it looks like the only one we've offered so far is probably Buzz Williams. Even that isn't a sure thing. They didn't offer Pastner, or Rose at this point.

 

[Big Old Booger]

Buzz screwed us. We waited on him because he wanted to be here and lied about his buyout. Now we are left holding the bag.

It's all semantics. We obviously contacted Pastner and Rose and asked and they said no.

Offer no, asked if interested yes. Pastner played a game to get a raise, Rose flat out said no

If you say it I guess it's true.

Painter will wait to make decision between MU and Purdue

Purdue coach Matt Painter

COLUMBIA | Matt Painter will wait for another day to decide whether he wants to remain the men’s basketball coach at his alma mater, Purdue, or take the vacant opening at Missouri.

According to a source with knowledge of the meeting between Painter and Missouri athletic director Mike Alden on Tuesday morning in Orlando, Fla., Painter listened to Missouri, did not say yes or no, and now is pondering what his decision will be.

“The ball is in his court,” the source told The Star. “Purdue has come up with more money (reports in Indiana say $2.3 million). They don’t want to lose him.”

Will that sway Painter to stay at Purdue?

“I have no idea,” the source said. “He has genuine interest in the job. But he has leverage. I think he’s looking at the Xs and Os, the long term and short term.”

While Missouri was initially believed to be offering between $2 million and $2.3 million a year to Painter, The Star’s source said he believed MU would be willing to go higher to assure they get the man they have identified as their No. 1 target to replace Mike Anderson.

“This guy is going about it the way a guy we want to hire is going about it,” the source said. “While it may be frustrating, if he decides to come here it will be a long-term decision. He’s doing his due diligence. If the Missouri job is a better job, he’ll take it.”

Alden flew to Orlando on Tuesday morning, where Painter and his family were on vacation. Alden was believed to be returning to Columbia on Tuesday afternoon.

Before Alden’s plane ever took off, MU officials called reporters who had assembled at Jefferson City Memorial Airport to warn them of two things — that Painter would not be on that airplane, and not to read anything into that in either a positive or negative fashion.

Too much smoke for it not to be true.

This, there is no way we are into the third week of this and Buzz is the only person even contacted

Contacted and offered are completely different. Contacting someone means very little.

 

[Big Old Booger]

Maybe Joe is handling this like he did girls back in the 6th grade. He's written a note and it has a question with 3 check boxes.

Do you want to be our coach? check yes, no, or maybe.

It looks like its the maybes that are screwing us.

Either that or he can't remember who each note is from?

 

[OUHoosier]

Too much smoke for it not to be true.

You mean like Capel leaving OU to go to Arizona when they never even called him? Who cares who they contacted? Pastner has little experience, Williams had one good tournament run but lost 15 games this year, Shaka is from VCU, Stevens isn't interested in leaving Butler, Rose is a Mormon living in SLC, Tad Boyle is from CO, etc. Everyone of these guys has baggage, so it's not like this is going to be a perfect hire anyway.

Does Purdue go after Shaka,Stevens,Lavin???

 

[38Special]

What do Purdue and Mizzou have in common?

Neither have ever been to a Final Four.

They both will hire coaches before OU..

Could go after Stallings from Vandy he is a Purdue alum.

Wow, that would make sense.

Matt Painter to Mizzou would be a big time hire.
