Matt Painter
He is the current head basketball coach of the Purdue University Boilermakers
Before taking the reins at Purdue, Painter built his coaching resume through various assistant coaching positions. From 1993 to 2003, he served as an assistant coach at Washington & Jefferson, Barton, Eastern Illinois, and Southern Illinois. His time at Southern Illinois was particularly notable, as he helped the team secure back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference championships in 2002 and 2003. When Bruce Weber left Southern Illinois for Illinois, Painter was promoted to head coach, where he led the Salukis to another conference title and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2004. His success at Southern Illinois quickly caught the attention of Purdue, where he was named head coach-in-waiting under the legendary Gene Keady.
Since taking over as head coach at Purdue, Painter has transformed the Boilermakers into a perennial powerhouse in the Big Ten Conference. Under his leadership, Purdue has won five Big Ten Conference titles and two Big Ten Tournament championships. Painter has also guided the team to 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, including seven Sweet-16 appearances, two Elite Eight appearances, and one Final Four. His ability to develop talent is evident, as nine of his players have gone on to play in the NBA, with three being selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. Painter's coaching acumen has earned him five Big Ten Coach of the Year awards, placing him second only to his predecessor, Gene Keady.
Painter's impact on Purdue basketball extends beyond wins and losses. He has built a culture of excellence, emphasizing player development, teamwork, and a commitment to both academic and athletic success. His ability to consistently compete at the highest level in one of the toughest conferences in college basketball has solidified his reputation as one of the top coaches in the country. With a career that continues to evolve, Painter remains a key figure in the landscape of college basketball, and his legacy at Purdue is firmly established.
