if you consider judge Poole and Randall anywhere near solid then I don’t know what to tell you.
Pikiell is overrated.

wow.....what a dope.....if this team could hit more outside shots. we would have two, or three more wins possibly....it's as simple as that......trying to inject your coaching expertise which is questionable to say the least is laughable....do you have a personal vendetta against coach pike?.........rice may be a better coach, but he's coaching h.s kids now......i'll take the not better coach, who can fire up a fan base, buy pizzas for the ticket office staff, thank the ru nation repeatably, and last but not least. how he represents this university, humbly with class, and dignity.....i have to question the motives of posters, who have to inject their superior knowledge of college bb coaching. for us to be in awe of......what a dope
a 1,000 like's for this post hawk....but, your just wasting your time trying to reason with a dope....i mean what is the purpose in his posting about coach pike being over rated...no one claimed that he was....the man has worked wonders here ...i mean edidie jordan couldn't be bothered if his team could rebound or not...remember that press conf....i all most barfed on my key board.....we have come a long way ,in a short time concerning our rebounding ability....that has to do with a head coach who coaches, and TEACHES.
I think you are projecting false news to substantiate your venom .....that there are actually a significant number of people who are acting like Pike is a God or King. Most of us have either not seen RU in the Post Season or have waited over 30 Years. To understand our feelings on Pike, you must be willing to understand what he inherited and where we are in Season #4. This does not make him John Wooden, but we can be happy with the upward trajectory nonetheless. To denigrate him while the team has improved every year under him and is on an upward path is curious. Perhaps save the venom for when he plateaus or is on a downward spiral?

This is like arguing with my wife. Throwing out conjecture and speculation and "feelings" as if they are facts when refuting a point. I also find it interesting that your volume of posts is substantially lower when RU wins and substantially higher when RU loses.

Well, you see, I go to all the home games, which is the only place we win. When i am at games I am not on my phone.
when we play away, i am not at the games, therefore i post during the games and criticize during games, and on the road we always lose.
thank you for coming to my ted talk.
See I think we are currently on a downward spiral.
I’m seeing a trend with failure to close things out and it’s a major issue for me. I’m not the type of guy rooting for this to be the case, I am sincerely hoping the team makes me sound like a complete idiot over these next a couple weeks.
I just don’t think they will. Ending this season on a 5/6 game losing streak would be horrendous.

We have not had more than a 2 game loosing streak the entire season. Your getting ahead of yourself.
The thing is there is zero evidence rice is/was a better coach than pikiell. Rice took over a much better situation with better players than pikiell and got fired. There was no indication rice would have had a break out year in year 4 assuming this would be silly based on the first three years.
Pikell has done a fantastic job to this point. Whether he is the right man to take the next step remains to be seen, but I haven't seen any evidence that he isn't.
I will give you all of that...my one issue is his unwillingness to defend his players with the refs. I believe it totally matters and makes a difference. Especially in close games. I think he could have gotten us at least 1,. Anyone watching Izzo tonight?
Now please don't let those comments place me in the I DON'T like Pike box.
Can he be better. Imho absolutely. Am I thrilled to have him as our coach? Again, absolutely.
Welcome to team #IDontLikePike @kyk1827 will be reaching out shortly with our practice schedule.
We typically do weekly calls to discuss strategy to stir up things on the boards with a focus on ways to deflect negative energy.
You will also immediately given access to the Platinum board where @Richard Schnyderite posts only the highest value of inside information.
Again welcome to the team, I’m looking forward to our future together here on Rutgers.Rivals.com
Guess you missed the 2nd paragraph . but I'm always up for some good discuss that doesn't involve ego and protectionism.
Based on what? Nobody other than RU fans at the end of Rice's final season expected them to make the tournament that season.
I don't think he is stopping us from running and I too would like to see some off the ball screens. I think we need to do some more things on offense in general, but overall he has done wonders with what he has, plus he's awoken the fan base and all of NJ for that matter. Hell, there are times we have four sophomores and a freshman on the court.
It's certainly your option to take a micro view. But almost everyone else considers season to season progression or decline when measuring progress......not game to game, intra game or home away splits. Big picture man......big picture.
Yea.....no.
Not talking about game threads or posts during the game. Rather the napalm you drop on this board for days and days after losses compared to the relative silence after wins.
He was pretty pumped up after the seton hall game. Some would say too pumped up :WideSmile:
Are we at a point where we need to highlight every screen on every possession to highlight that we actually run an offense or do we just continue making blanket statements

Ahhhh, the airing of grievances and bumping of threads has commenced!
Would you like fries with that crow ?
When this thread was posted I laughed my *** off.
Now I'm laughing my *** off even more.
I swear some of the people who post here are total idiots who know nothing about basketball.

Safe to say this guy, and another loudmouth, know a lot less than they attempt to act like they know about hoops.
May be the most ridiculous/misguided post I've ever read. Coming after a season ending win that gets us into the Dance. Poster is a complete jerk, to put it mildly.
