'It's starting to get out of control' | Matt Painter lobbies for fouls on Purdue basketball star Zach Edey

ANN ARBOR, Michigan − Zach Edey understands by now what he's in for.

He'll post up and fully expects opposing defenses to result to whatever tactics they can to stop him, or at least irritate him.

Pushing, pulling, hooking.

Even knees to the butt.

He's experienced it all and after Sunday's win over Maryland, Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter had enough, likening Edey to a piñata.

"What's happening is, he's getting away with some small things, but the magnitude of the fouls that are not getting called for him is like three to one," Painter said Tuesday.
