The Purdue Boilermakers basketball team is a college basketball program that competes in NCAA Division I and is a member of the Big Ten Conference. Purdue basketball holds the record for most Big Ten Championships with 21, along with being the only program in the conference to boast winning records versus every other school in the Big Ten[1]. The Boilermakers have never won an NCAA Tournament. The Boilermakers share a rivalry with the Indiana Hoosiers, of which Purdue holds a 109-84 series lead.

History

1896–1932

The history of Purdue basketball dates back to 1896 with their first game against the Lafayette YMCA[1]. In the 1902-03 season, head coach C.I. Freeman, in his only season, led them to an undefeated 8-0 record. Upon conclusion of the season, the University recognized the popularity of the sport and made it part of the Purdue University Athletic Association. The Boilermakers began play in the Big Ten Conference three years later, with its first championship coming in 1911. In 1917, Ward "Piggy" Lambert, a former basketball player at Wabash College, was named head coach of the Boilermakers. What followed was one of the most dominant eras of Purdue Basketball on the conference and national level. In 28 seasons, Lambert mentored 16 All-Americans and 31 First Team All-Big Ten selections, which included the 1932 National Player of the Year John Wooden, the first college player to be named a Consensus All-American three times. Lambert compiled a career record of 371-152, a .709 winning percentage. His 228 wins in Big Ten play have been bested by only Indiana's Bob Knight and former Purdue head coach Gene Keady[1]. Lambert won an unprecedented 11 Big Ten Championships, which ties Bob Knight for most in conference history, and was given one Helms Title in 1932.

1932-1965

Fourteen years after being named National Champs, Ward Lambert announced his resignation on January 23, 1946. That same year and the year following under new head coach Mel Taube, Purdue Would win both meetings against coach John Wooden's Indiana State team. On February 24, 1947, tragedy struck as two students were killed and 166 people were taken to hospitals after the 3,400 student section of the Purdue Fieldhouse collapsed during a game against Wisconsin. Center Paul Hoffman became the only Boiler to be named a First Team-All Big Ten selection four times in 1947. With teammate Ed "Bulbs" Ehlers, the two were the first players in the program's history to be selected in the NBA Draft, while Paul Hoffman became the BAA's first player named Rookie of the Year in 1948. After Mel Taube's four and a half seasons, Ray Eddy, a former player and teammate of John Wooden under Lambert, took over as head coach. During his fifteen year tenure, he coached Terry Dischinger and Dave Schellhase, both All-Americans, and Ernie Hall, the first Purdue junior college transfer and African-American player to wear a Boilermaker uniform. In 1955, his team played one of the longest games in college basketball history, lasting six overtimes in a loss to Minnesota.

1965-1980

Over the next few decades the Boilermakers would enjoy moderate success, culminating with an appearance in the 1969 NCAA Finals game under head coach George King and led by All-American Rick Mount, where they would fall to former Purdue great, John Wooden, and his UCLA Bruins squad. Former Los Angeles Lakers coach/general manager, Fred Schaus, who also spent time as West Virginia's head coach, took over the program after George King stepped down to became solely the school's athletic director. Schaus led the Boilermakers to the 1974 NIT Championship, becoming the first Big Ten team to capture the NIT title. In the 1978-79 season, new head coach Lee Rose introduced Purdue basketball to a new approach with a slowed-down, controlled style of play. With All-American center Joe Barry Carroll, he led them to the 1979 NIT Finals and to a 1980 NCAA Final Four appearance.

1980–2005

In 1980, Gene Keady, the head coach at Western Kentucky, was named the new head coach of the Boilermakers. Over the next 25 years, Keady led the Boilermakers to six Big Ten Championships and 17 NCAA Tournament appearances with two Elite Eights. Purdue received their highest Assosiated Press and Coaches Poll ranking in it's program's history during the 1987-88 season, where they were ranked as high as 2nd in the nation. In 1991, Keady and assistant coach Frank Kendrick recruitied Glenn Robinson, who ultimately became an All-American and Purdue's second-named National Player of the Year. A few years later, Purdue managed to recruit the program's first of many foreign players when they picked up Matt ten Dam from Holland. In December of 1997, Keady became Purdue's all-time winningest head coach, surpassing Lambert with his 372nd win. It was at this time Keady's namesake was bestowed on the floor of Mackey Arena. Many of Keady's former assistant coaches and players throughout the years have gone on to enjoy success as head coaches, included in the "Gene Keady coaching tree", is current Purdue head coach Matt Painter, former UCLA head coach Steve Lavin, Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings, Illinois head coach Bruce Weber, Florida Southern head coach Linc Darner and Missouri State head coach Cuonzo Martin.

2005–present

As the Keady era came to a close in 2005, the Matt Painter era began. Painter played for Keady during the early 90's, with Keady naming him captain in his senior year in 1993. After one season at Southern Illinois as the head coach after Bruce Weber left north for Illinois, Painter was hired as a planned replacement for Coach Keady for the 2004-05 season as Keady's associate head coach. After a disappointing first season marred with injuries and suspensions from off-court altercations, Painter re-energized Purdue basketball in the summer of 2006 by signing the top recruiting class in the conference and made one of the hugest turnarounds in the program's history. Matt Painter and his "Baby Boilers" made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, which included a Sweet Sixteen in 2009 and the school's first Big Ten Tournament championship the same season. Dating back to the 1993-94 season, the Boilers have made 11 consecutive second round appearances.
