This Week In Purdue History
April 11, 1980 • Gene Keady is named Purdue's men's basketball coach, replacing Lee Rose, who had left a week earlier for
South Florida. An eager Keady reportedly drove all night from Bowling Green to be interviewed by athletic director George King
and surprised some at his initial press conference by saying he got along with Indiana coach Bob Knight.
April 6, 2002 • Rising sophomore receiver Taylor Stubblefield catches six passes for 145 yards as the Boilermakers
hold a spring practice scrimmage. Kyle Orton, in his first spring practice as the starter, hit on 11-of-19 passes for 183
yards.
April 8, 2007 • After Chris Lutz decided to transfer from the men's basketball team following the 2006-07 season,
Greg Hill announces his commitment to Purdue. The 6-foot-2 shooting guard, however, was never able to qualify at
Purdue having played the year before at Bridgton Academy, the same prep school that produced Keaton Grant.
