This should be an interesting debate. Because if someone knows why pike does those kind of rotations to blow our leads or to tell the other team to take the lead please let me know. (Feedback necessary)

Knight is in charge of rotations which was posted this week which I did not know
that rotation in the first half was bad full stop

lol idk i think richie said knight was the rotations guy, but ultimately pike makes the call. he's the coach.
Of course. So you think if Pike was doing the rotations he would keep mostly our starting 6 in? And not rotate players like oskar and Agee who aren’t quite ready for this league yet?

Yes. But now hearing that knight is in charge of the rotations makes me wonder why pike isn’t in charge of it

good question...agee tried but 2 bad fouls and he was out. second half there was no funny rotations so maybe pike just kept the short rotation
I like Brandon knight. I do. Just think Pike would be better at handling the rotations based on him knowing the team chemistry really well. Not saying knight doesn’t I just don’t see the use of pike as coach if he isn’t the one leading the coaching

Well you have to play SOMEBODY off the bench. Our starters can’t all play 40 minutes.
The problem is that we have so many guys on the bench who are net negatives, but who very occasionally show some spark.
Reiber has provided decent minutes lately, but Palmquist has not. And Agee was awful in his few minutes today.
Hyatt has been solid lately, as has Miller, except today Miller had a lot of trouble keeping up with Fatts Russell, racking up 3 fouls in just 8 minutes, so Pike yanked him pretty quickly in the 2nd half.
We REALLY need Mag to get back to giving us 15 minutes of solid play off the bench. A rotation of the 5 starters, plus Hyatt, plus Miller for defense, plus Reiber backing up Cliff, plus Mag.
That should be your 9 man rotation going forward (assuming Jones is basically out of the rotation).

well basically the starters played most of the 2nd half
the issue is the combo of wholesale changes, its almost always when RU gets back into the game. I realize you want to rest the starters but the bench has proven time and time again they cannot do it.
Agee Gonzo was horrible in just a minute of play. That Jones cannot see one minute is just weird to me
Pike is in full charge of who enters or comes out of the game….that’s a fact Ohio.
It’s more an art than a science but in general fans don’t have a clue including fans that pretend to have a clue.
Maybe Knight is keeping track of minutes or something. Makes no sense that Knight is “in charge of rotations”.
Pike is rotating 7-8 guys. You need to give your keys guys a rest and have them ready for the last 8-10 mins.
Not what Richie said. Not saying you’re wrong but saying it’s contrary to what I’d consider a very good source
I remember Wenzel used to do wholesale subs - goodbye first team hello second. Back in Creighton Drury days.
I agree…But I watch Pike tap guys and tell guys to go in all the time, from about 3 feet away
Guys can be mentally conditioned to play heavy minutes.
These guys are young and can all play 35 minutes
I’ve never seen any fan be happy with any coach’s sub patterns. The fact of the matter is the starters need to rest. The rotations are fine
Coach really gambled today and rode the starters the last 12 minutes without a rest
To their credit ...no sign of fatigue

I think it depends on the day. One day a guy can go 40 minutes and be great. Another day he can’t.
There are some definite issues. Oskar shouldn’t be coming off the bench and definitely shouldn’t be on the floor with mostly other bench players, for example.
Of course. It makes sense just whether he rotated the right players is what I’m arguing
Yes. Meaning we’re definitely working on conditioning since corona break. Which is very good
I think he has it right. Most coaches reduce the bench to 7-8 players. I think he has the right group.
Agee “not quite ready yet”? He is a 5th year senior. There is no yet“ for him. His minutes need to continue to go to Reiber, who has 3 more years to play!

ya that's what I meant, I clarified my statement when I said Pike makes the call he's the coach in a post right after. Brandon obviously doesn't make the subs. sorry for bad post on my part
I think Oskar and Gonzalez need to be out of rotation.
I can see spots in the game where you may have only three starters on the floor but you’ve got to keep a really close eye n that.
Hyatt, Mag, Miller, and (gulp) Reiner have earned rotation rights.
I can’t figure what’s up w Jaden. I don’t think the “he’s only a freshman” argument holds water. If you think he’s got what it takes, how can he not get five mins per game. Apparently a red shirt is out the window, yes?
