This is why Tom Izzo is one of the greatest to ever do it. Coaching masterclass on the last possession and outsmarted Painter.

Coen Carr is 6’6. Cluff is over 7 foot. No reason he’d be matched up there unless the goal was to switch immediately. Izzo you sick motherfucker.

So not only did he get exactly what he wanted out of this switch on the perimeter he also shut down the post touch to TKR An answer for every possible action Purdue could have ran there

Upon further review this was probably drawn up for TKR in the post Still smart as hell from Izzo to see Cluff on the perimeter, stick Carr on him, and switch immediately

@tengtruther Tom Izzo is goated Thanks for the breakdown here…nice work

1) play was for TKR 2) Painter doesn’t draw up the out of bounds plays

Well Izzo just put whatever assistant drew that up in an absolute blender so maybe he should be

@Sheehan_Sports Great analysis there. That’s why you take that timeout. Tom was confident they’d come out the same or close to it. Nicely done.

This is wrong. Watch Loyer’s eyes at the beginning of the play, he was staring down TKR in the paint for the post up. Additionally Smith was jogging off the screen not really expecting the basketball. This play was supposed to go to TKR for a post up opportunity

You may be right tbh Doesn’t change the fact that Izzo got exactly what he wanted with that switch

Also I kinda have a tough time believing the goal was dump it down to TKR after he just missed the last possession

Watch Loyer’s eyes during the play. He stares down TKR before finally hitting his outlet pass in Smith

Painter a fraud fr

This is up there for worst reach of all time lil bro

And Carr still comes all the way in for the rebound too. Beast.

thank you white boy rick

One of the best ever? You mean most overrated of all time. Love Izzo and all respect for MSU, shout out Chris Hill on Alum 05, but facts are facts. @313KoolAid

I love Tom but there’s nothing particularly superhuman in calling back to back time outs and switching defenders. It’s a good job. It’s THE job, but a lot of us do that.

Big ten coach beating another overrated shitty big ten coach when it doesn’t matter. Losers

@EricksonKiva Great counter

MSU chokers. You will see. Lack shooters, destined to lose bigly

Bro Carr was lined up on Cluff before the TO. It’s just bad ATO scheming from Painter, yet again. Predictable. Braden Smith cannot ISO like that. You showed us nothing in this clip.

Nah Braden Smith just ass

please take a master class in clean language

I thought watching it live, the last Purdue timeout was a mistake, Loyer could have got a shot off or hit TKR in the post. Side out against Izzo, no thanks. Also, Coen Carr we be a generational edge rusher. Get that man some shoulder pads

Izzo puts athletes in positions to make plays. Good coach

Don’t watch Purdue much, but why is the assistant doing all the coaching and play calling? Seen this in multiple timeouts

seriously wish Paint didn’t call a timeout and just let them do their thing. Braden is one of the best decision makers in the country TKR is almost unstoppable in the half court and Fletch is a 50% 3 pt shooter. Instead he calls a timeout giving them a chance to set defense.🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

@SpartanHoops_DK GOAT

Ahh, Tom didn’t draw that. That’s just a normal switch. No foresight by Izzo at all.

My buddy said he wasn’t on his Mount Rushmore of cbb coaches is that crazy?

Only took him 12 years

The great Izzo is 18-18 vs Painter

Thank you Rick for sticking up for MSU. Can’t wait for the classic quote on Mostly Hoops “MSU still can’t win it all” - Mark Titus

Purdue should not be a top 10 team

@SpartanHoops_DK Phenomenal analysis Rick

Fighting for the 4th seed in the big ten. Well done Coach Izzo! Is is March yet?!

@SpartanHoops_DK Then how come we can never score out of a timeout ourselves now, dammit 🤣 And how do we have 46 secs, 2 pt lead & the ball... and instead of getting 2 possessions to their 1, we dribble down to 5 on shot clock, get an awful shot up, and only 1 possession (until some fouls), etc

Preach!!
