MILWAUKEE It could have gone either way, really. Just three short years ago, Purdue was in bad shape, and the questions about Matt Painter were growing in frequency.
With his future in the balance, Painter recruited his way to a turnaround one player at a time.
Fresh off his first victory in the NCAA Tournament in five years, Painter will try to coach Purdue into the Sweet 16 on Saturday night against Iowa State. The Boilermakers haven"t made it to the second weekend of the tourney since 2010, Painter"s fifth season in charge of his alma mater.
"Off the court, especially, he gets it," forward Vince Edwards said Friday. "He remembers what it was once like to be a college player, be in our position. Lot of times when we have problems on or off the court, we"re allowed to talk to him and he"s really open about it. That"s a good relationship that coaches build with their players.
"And then on the court, he just tries to help any way he can. If he sees something, he"ll let you know and keep his Xs and Os sharp. He lets us know if he sees openings. He does a really good job for us."
Painter played for Gene Keady and spent a year as his associate head coach before taking over in April 2005. The Boilermakers went 9-19 in his first year in charge before beginning a run of six consecutive seasons in the NCAA Tournament with at least 22 wins.
Then everything fell apart. The Boilermakers went 16-18 in 2012-13 and 15-17 the following season.
If the losing had continued, there is no doubt Painter would have lost his job eventually. But he got the program back on track by finding more of what he wanted on the recruiting trail.
"I didn"t think we had enough guys that were about winning," painter said after purdue"s practice on friday. "Guys will be about shots, guys will be about minutes. If you just get some guys that are unconditional and just want to win too many people are asking about who is in my position or not in my position. When you sign those guys and they never ask those questions, they just want the opportunity, they just want to play and they"re about Purdue winning, we had to get to that. We had to get and get to a more skilled guy."
Edwards, Dakota Mathias, P.J. Thompson and 7-foot-2 center Isaac Haas, four key players on this year"s team, helped the Boilermakers return to the NCAA Tournament in 2015, but they lost to Cincinnati in the first round. Caleb Swanigan, a double-double machine and one of the most touted recruits in school history, joined the program last season.
"You got to figure out for yourself what"s at their core, and that"s what we tried to do," Painter said. "And I really believe less is more. Right now we have eight guys in a rotation, but we have the right eight guys. And recruiting, it"s more difficult. ... It"s hard. It really is to try to get things figured out. You can see if guys can run and jump and play, but you don"t see the adversity set in, who are they when the adversity sets in."
Purdue (26-7), which won the Big Ten regular-season title this year for the first time since 2010, faced a stiff challenge from Vermont in the first round and held off the Catamounts for an 80-70 victory. It got the Boilermakers to 26 wins in consecutive seasons for only the third time in school history all under Painter.
That one little losing spell seems like a long time ago now.
"The job he"s done at Purdue I think has been outstanding. ... He"s done a really good job there," Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. "He"s obviously one of the best coaches in the country."
Devin Booker 70 Pts - Highlights | Suns vs Celtics | March 24, 2017 | 2016-17 NBA Season

BOSTON The pregame question focused on Devin Booker.
Is he the best shooter youve been around?
Ive played with some great shooters, Suns coach Earl Watson said, naming off a couple. Ray Allen, Kevin Durant. He has amazing potential. His stroke is textbook.
An hour later, Booker went out and showed as much. The second-year guard produced the highest-scoring game in franchise history,pouring in70points in a 130-120loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. While the Suns lost for the seventh time, Booker put together the highest-scoring game of the season, passing the 60 Klay Thompson put up against Indiana in October.
In the process, he became the third-youngest player in NBA history at 20 years, 145 days, to record a 50-point game, joining LeBron James and Brandon Jennings.
Throughout this stretch, most of the focus has been on Phoenixs young players, which makes sense. Both rookie point guard Tyler Ulis and forward Alan Williams have made good use of their extended minutes something that will serve management well in their short-term decision-making but this also is an important time for Booker, a gifted scorerwho already has one foot in the stardom pool.
By now, most know that in two years Booker has scored in ways not many have. Before turning 20 in October, he scored 1,087 points as a teenager, sixth most in NBA history. Of the five players ahead of him on that list James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard all but Anthony were All-Stars within their third seasons. Anthony made it in his fourth season.
MORE NBA:
Booker began this trip in a slump. While battling ankle soreness, he was 13 of 55 over three games entering Thursdays Brooklyn loss. Booker said he wasnt concerned. Im just missing a lot of shots right now, he said then. Same shots Ive seen go in before.
He showed signs of breaking out against Brooklyn, but cooled in the second half, shooting 9 of 26 but finishing with 28 points. Against the Celtics, Booker looked more like himself. Once he got rolling, he didn"t stop. Hehit a bank shot in transition. He hit a jumper and was fouled. He scored in the post.
He even got some whistles.
This was an issue against Brooklyn, particularly in the second half. Booker doesnt shy from contact, but against the Nets he didnt get many calls. That night he led both teams in looks of disbelief. In Fridays second quarter, Booker drove left, fell to the court and didnt get a call. As Boston took off in transition, he shot a stare at the nearest official.
On Phoenixs next possession, Booker took the ball in the post and lowered his shoulder into Boston guard Marcus Smart, the easiest offensive foul call of the night. Booker immediately turned and ran up court. It was if he wanted to make a point. And he may have. From that point on, Booker shot 21free throws in the second half.
Booker broke his career high of 39 points in the final minutes of the third quarter. He hit 45 with nine minutes to go in the fourth. With 6:40 left, he scored in transition and was fouled giving him the sixth 50th-point game in franchise history. By this time the Garden crowd was into it, cheering for Booker to shoot every time he got the ball.
With 1:49 to go, Bookerput back his own miss, breaking Tom Chambers" record of 60 points scored against Seattle in 1990. Overall, Booker shot 21 of 40 from the fieldand made 24 of 26 from the foul line, both makes and attempts a career best. He also contributed eightrebounds and six assists.
Only problem: He didnt have much help. The Suns again were short-handed, playing without forward T.J. Warren because of a foot injury. They missed their first 13 shots, falling behind by 20 in the first quarter. From there, it was an uphill battle. The Suns trailed by as many as 26, but pulled within 10in the fourth quarter. It wasn"t enough.
And on this night, it didn"t matter.

Sib Hashian of Boston drum solo - 07/02/2015 - Halifax Park, Winslow, Me
Rebecca Carr
Mr. Hashian later played for Ernie and the Automatics.
Anyone who listened to FM rock radio at the end of 1976 couldnt help but air drum along with Sib Hashian during a classic percussion moment: two drumbeats with both sticks and a quick cymbal crash that threw open the door to the soaring guitar solo in Bostons Foreplay/Long Time.
Those three beats fall not quite two and half minutes into a song that stretches for more than seven and a half minutes on the bands self-titled first album, which sold some 17 million copies in the United States alone, becoming one of the most successful debuts in history.

That brief indelible passage for Mr. Hashian who was just as unforgettable visually in those days because of his expansive Afro was also a memorable moment for the classic rock genre.
He was a legend, and I dont think theres a day that goes by today that I dont hear his drumming on the radio, said car magnate Ernie Boch, a longtime friend who played alongside Mr. Hashian for several years, beginning in 2004, in the band Ernie and the Automatics. I listen to classic rock all the time, and if you listen to classic rock, you hear sibby hashian play every day.

Mr. Hashian, who went from playing in North Shore bands to touring the world while drumming for Bostons first two albums, collapsed and died Wednesday night as he performed on the Legends of Rock Caribbean cruise. He was 67 and lived in Lynnfield.
His son, Adam,told Fox News that although a cause of death has not been determined, we think it might be a heart attack.
In a statement issued Thursday, Mr. Hashians wife of 38 years, Suzanne, announced his death with deep and profound sadness, and said he died at 11 p.m. while performing on the cruise. She added that funeral and service arrangements will be announced.

Also on the cruise was Barry Goudreau, a guitarist who was part of Bostons debut album lineup with Mr. Hashian.
Its with a very heavy heart that I have to announce that my musical partner of 50 years, Sib Hashian, collapsed during our set on the Rock Legends Cruise last night, Goudreau said in a Facebook posting. Despite efforts to revive him, he did not survive. Sib was one in a million, never to be replaced.
The two had played in bands together as teenagers and through music they met their future Boston bandmates: guitarist and songwriter Tom Scholz, bassist Fran Sheehan, and singer Brad Delp, who took his life in March 2007.
According to the Legends of Rock website, the cruise departed from Miami Saturday. The ship stopped in St. Maarten Tuesday, in Puerto Rico Wednesday, and was scheduled to be at sea en route to the Bahamas Wednesday night when Mr. Hashian died. The ship is due to arrive in Nassau at noon Friday.
John Thomas Hashian was born Aug. 17, 1949, according to funeral information posted on legacy.com. He grew up on the North Shore and for a time played with Sheehan in a lounge act.
I got Sib in the band for a little while, Sheehan said in an interview with Michael Hill that is posted on www.thirdstage.ca. He goes, Ill join you for a little while because youre making so much money. Well make a bunch of cake, well buy ourselves some great equipment, and well do a band. So we did that for a while.
Associated Press

Eventually, the five band members Delp, Goudreau, Scholz, Sheehan, and Mr. Hashian came together for a debut album whose sales success they would never match.
Before parting ways with Boston, Mr. Hashian played on the bands second album, Dont Look Back, which was released in 1978 and sold several million copies. He also played on Goudreaus self-titled 1980 album, to which Delp contributed vocals. I started playing with Sib back in Lynn English High School, and hes one of the only drummers Ive worked with, Goudreau told the Globe in 1980, explaining why he turned to his Boston bandmates while preparing a solo outing.
From about 2004 to 2011, Mr. Hashian played with Ernie and the Automatics, and he also had owned a record shop and tanning parlor businesses in Greater Boston. For a time, he was a host for the TV show Scorchs PFG.
The members of Ernie and the Automatics included Boch, Goudreau, and Michael Tunes Antunes of John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band. The band performed in venues that ranged from tiny little bars that you could barely fit a drum set in to massive stages, Boch recalled, and Mr. Hashian was always a cheerful presence.
No matter if we were playing in a chicken coop or a giant theater, he was always positive, Boch said. Sibby did it for the love of playing. When we first started out, we were playing these absolutely small stage dives, and he would be so excited about it.
Backstage, Mr. Hashian might share stories about performing for crowds of 60,000 fans, and wed walk out and there would be 12 people, Boch said with a chuckle. It did not matter if it was two or 20,000 he had a professionalism about him that was inspiring. We called him the engine room because he was like an engine. He never skipped a beat. His timing was impeccable.
In addition to his wife and son, Mr. Hashians survivors include his daughters Aja and Lauren, who has a daughter with actor Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
In a late-1970s profile of Boston for Rolling Stone magazine, writer and film director Cameron Crowe captured Mr. Hashian in unguarded moments that included racking up some 28,000 points on a pinball machine. Its all about the extra ball, my friend, he told Crowe. Mr. Hashian also joked about what its like to go from playing in North Shore bands to performing worldwide.
I am the same man today, even after the success Mr. Hashian told Crowe for that profile, which is posted on theuncool.com. And, as Joe Namath says, he added, invoking the former New York Jets quarterback, I cant wait till tomorrow cause I get better looking every day.

In 1990, a peculiar prime time soap opera made its debut on ABC and became an instant, indelible pop sensation. Twin Peaks, the beautifully bizarre, form-busting brainchild of film surrealist David Lynch (Eraserhead, Blue Velvet) and acclaimed TV scribe Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues), captured the imagination with a weird whodunit set in a deeply mysterious Washington lumber town. The highly serialized, cast-of-dozens saga was electric with myriad of tones twisted adult melodrama, swoony teen romance, sinister supernatural intrigue, absurd, meta-winky comedy. It gave Kyle MacLachlan an iconic role: FBI Agent Dale Cooper, a suave and spiritual Sherlock with shellacked hair and a zeal for justice and secrets. It had backward-speaking spirits jazz-dancing around a red-curtained underworld, fetishized black coffee and cherry pie and pastries, and gave us David Duchovny playing a transgender DEA agent named Denise. Twin Peaks was creatively combustible TV made with incandescent cinematic panache that burned bright and faded quickly; the whole phenom lasted just two seasons and 14 months. (Not counting a WTH? prequel flick, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.) But the series left a legacy that would change the medium forever, influencing everything from The Sopranos to Lost, Hannibal to Mr. Robot, seeding our Peak TV present (no pun intended) of prestige drama and mystery-driven serials.

Now, Twin Peaks is back, in the form of limited event series created by Lynch and Frost for Showtime thatll premiere on May 21. You can be sure itll be something unusual. Its a feature film in 18 parts, Lynch tells Entertainment Weekly in this weeks cover story about the revival. The show brings back MacLachlan and dozens of the original cast, plus dozens more, including Naomi Watts, James Belushi, Michael Cera, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, and many more in roles large and small.
Dont ask the spoiler-averse Lynch about plot or characters. The quirky bird wont even confirm if the original cast will be playing their original characters, with one exception: MacLachlan is suited up to play Cooper once again. I think it took me six hours and a few cups of coffee to read.But it was wonderful, says MacLachlan of the first time he read the 400-plus page script.
Watch the cast discuss the shows odd universe and the upcoming revival in the new People/Entertainment Weekly Network (PEN) special EW Reunites: Twin Peaks here, or download the free app on your Smart TV, mobile and web devices.
Agent Cooper was the subject of the original shows infamously disturbing and infuriating unresolved cliffhanger. After venturing into the otherworldly realm of The Black Lodge to rescue his girlfriend, the dogged detective was assaulted by a dark doppelganger, who then took his place in the real world, possessed with the spirit of a denim-clad succubus named BOB (the late Frank Silva). Maybe. It was confusing. But we think you can expect some clarification. Twin Peaks is a cosmology, says Showtimes president and CEO David Nevins. What I think is satisfying about the new version is that its a deeper exploration of that stuff. What is the Red Room? How does the Red Room work? Where is Agent Cooper? Can he make it back?
EWs story reveals how Twin Peaks itself ventured back to TV after 25 years in limbo, from the first brainstorming conversations between Frost and Lynch to the 142-day shoot in various cities (no, Twin Peaks 2.0 doesnt take place exclusively in Twin Peaks) using Lynchs fave new tool, digital cameras. Youll hear from many of the original cast: Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne), Madchen Amick (Shelly Johnson), Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs), James Marshall (James Hurley), Peggy Lipton (Norma Jennings), Everett McGill (Big Ed Hurley), Wendy Robie (Nadine Hurley), and Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer and Madeleine Ferguson). Youll see some first look images (one word: DENISE!), and youll get it all wrapped in the beautiful plastic of collectible covers that recreate that iconic red-curtained set.
