Pike must go

[GoFish2]

Serious question for you. Do you know how much money we'd owe him to fire him after this season?

It's not happening. And it has nothing to do with not having a president/AD.

Better to just accept it now and hope for surprise teams every 2-3 seasons going forward.

No, he doesn't know. He just likes to whine.

Just read Pikes presser. We must be the best practice team in America and the worst is translating that to the court.

They practice against each other, not against talent

I dedicate this song to coach pike

Unless Pike resigns , he ll be back next year.

The problem is that it will be extremely difficult for Pike to recover from this collosal nightmare

Pike strengths of a coach do not align with the NIL world.

The current state of the game has passed him by.

Coaches are retiring these days with the shifts in NIL and the portal. It’s quickly feeling like Pike is part of this group — good coaches who are just not right for the new landscape. Steve needs a roaster of guys who can guard every position to play together for 3+ years. That’s his formula. This new world is going to make that incredibly difficult for him. I appreciate him getting these guys here, but his portal misses killed what should have been a great opportunity. Maybe he will step down.

2021 we like Pike.
2024 Take a Hike Pike.

That's really funny!

The guy has 2 lottery picks on the team. This is the worst coaching display arguably in B1G history.

The roster plays a small part of this. It has to do with guys never being in the right place on defense, but Pike has had success with this in the past. The offensive approach, however, is a horror show, and Knight, whether it be inbounding vs. the press, breaking the press, or running the offense, has shown to be a total incompetent.
