Coaches set for Alumni game

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Legendary former Purdue head men’s basketball coach Gene Keady will coach once again at Mackey Arena on Aug. 4 when he leads one of the teams in the Boilermakers’ inaugural alumni game.

Current Boilermaker head coach Matt Painter will lead the other squad in the precursor to the 2012-13 Purdue team’s intrasquad scrimmage.

“Aside from being one of the greatest to ever coach the game, Coach Keady has been a mentor to so many men who played for him at Purdue,” Painter said.  His name is synonymous with Purdue basketball and the culture that has been built. He’s a great man and we’re excited that he can be a part of this event.”

The alumni game is set to tip off at 2 pm ET on Aug. 4 at Mackey Arena. Among the fan favorites currently scheduled to participate are Brandon Brantley, Brian Cardinal, Tarrance Crump, Carson Cunningham, Todd Foster, Keaton Grant, Marcus Green, Matt Kiefer, Chris Kramer, Carl Landry, Troy Lewis, Kenneth Lowe, Todd Mitchell, Bobby Riddell, Ryne Smith, David Teague and Mark Wohlford.
