I’m surprised the degree to which Painter ran away with this.

 

[Vol49er]

Did they poll 50 coaches and Todd Golden said himself?

 

[sonofUT62]

Will Wade wasn’t an option?

 

[YankeeVol]

I’m surprised the degree to which Painter ran away with this.

Very surprised

 

[VOLdo Raine]

Richard Dawson: “ 100 residents of West Lafayette were asked…”

Me too. I didn't know he was this well liked/respected by his peers.

Just how many votes did Matt Painter get in this?

Barnes, Sampson, Few, and Drew would be my top 4 by far. Wouldn't let my kids get anywhere near Golden or Izzo, and I wouldn't let them anywhere near Kentucky, regardless of who was coaching.

Seems like 30

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Did they poll 50 coaches and Todd Golden said himself?

My thoughts.

 

[Boston Vol]

Notice that Hurley is absent lol

Bill Self as well.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Lol at no Self, Cal, or Hurley. Also agree with above comments Golden surely votes for himself.

 

[Skooter]

I assume 3/10 responders have 7’4 sons. No other reason.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Painter is a good dude, have meet him a few times. I'm surprised he ran away with it but I figured he'd be up there in the poll. Shocked Rick didn't get more votes.

This is ridiculous. Unless you played for one of these coaches, or your son was recruited by them, how would anyone know. Why is it that the Big 10 always seems to win?

 

[Beartrainer]

Surprised nobody said Steven Pearl ?

You’re struggling to understand how a tight knit group involved in a profession that spends dozens of days on the road with each other….would be able to form an opinion about each other?
