Here's some info on Coach Keady: Lloyd Eugene "Gene" Keady (born May 21, 1936) is an American basketball coach. Most recently an assistant coach at St. John's University, he is most notable for being the head men's college basketball coach at Purdue University for 25 years, from 1980 to 2005. Gene Keady became the Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball head coach on April 11, 1980. Keady became the winningest coach in school history with 493 victories and second winningest coach in Big Ten Conference history, only behind former rival, Bob Knight, and was the Big Ten Coach of the Year seven times. He guided the Boilermakers to 6 Big Ten titles, including three straight outright crowns from 1994 through 1996. However, Keady was never able to win an NCAA championship in his career despite his success, nor reach a Final Four with Purdue. Keady hired Matt Painter (1989–1993), as his associate head coach for the 2004–2005 season. He was selected to take over the head coaching position. Keady retired from coaching Purdue following the 2004–2005 season after leading Purdue to 18 NCAA Tournament appearances. He took the Boilermakers to two Elite Eight appearances and five total Sweet Sixteen appearances. His total NCAA tournament postseason record is 20–19. He led Purdue to five NIT appearances with a record of 12–5 and a second and third-place finish. Mackey Arena's basketball court was named "Keady Court" in dedication to him. In October 2006 Keady was named the recipient of the 2007 John R. Wooden "Legends of Coaching" Award. Keady is the ninth recipient of this award, as it was created in 1999. While coaching at Purdue, Gene was quoted by saying, "Recruiting is a lot like shaving, if you miss a day, you look like a bum." His tenure at Purdue was notable in the number of wins he achieved, while only coaching 8 All-Americans; Keith Edmonson (1982_AP Honorable Mention); Troy Lewis (1987 & 1988_ AP Honorable Mention), Todd Mitchell (1988_NABC - 3rd Team, AP Honorable Mention); Steve Scheffler (1990_AP & UPI 3rd Team), Glenn Robinson (1993_ Consensus 2nd Team & 1994_Consensus 1st Team, Consensus National Player of the Year), Cuonzo Martin (1995_AP Honorable Mention); Chad Austin (1998_AP Honorable Mention), Brad Miller (1998_AP Honorable Mention).
