Why do we continue our help D and double when it's unnecessary? In this game it is not f'in working and it leaves guys wide open for threes or drives. Stay home, stay on YOUR man and if you get beat, so be it. No more doubles. SMH.

pikes d is to gamble, create chaos and hope that the other team misses 3s
It speeds teams up and takes them out of their comfort zone. No D is infallible and I do think quick pg's with passing ability like Michigan has present a problem for this style.
But numbers don't lie. We have one of the best D teams in the country. Personally, I love that style. It's how I would coach.

I love doubling off of the pass, it really creates a lot of chances for our guards to hedge the pass and come up with a lot of steals and break outs. The issue here is that we are getting cut on back cuts nows and people are taking advantage of our over aggressive D. As we start to rotate, we are getting caught with open 3 post shooters. We did a much better job in the 2nd half today rotating quicker and not allowing for crisp passes for open shots.
It's not doubling as much as we are not uber-athletic enough to command a defensive assignment 1 on 1 and shut down an opponent. We need Mulcahy to be better on defense in general to avoid errors on defense.
That’s why his minutes need to be limited now he’s such a liability on defense it’s killing us
Myles seems like he's running all over the court...and then a big or wing sneaks down near the basket and he's got to run like hell to try and cover
Note to Pike: STOP THIS!
Limit Myles coverage to the big, the basket, the block and the rebound.

He helped prevent 3s late from guys that were burying them most of the night.
It wouldn't be so bad if he had a shot / scorer's mentality: but he's only a Frosh...give him time!
