No feel for rotations. Guys standing around on offense. Commentators even said that we were screwing around in second half warmups. He has no control over this team. The game has passed him by. There’s so much more to add but I’m disgusted.’ And here come the Pike apologists shooting me down and fondly remembering the one win in the dance.
Pike outcoached. Again. Disgusted.
- Thread starter RUSCFORMERLYRULOU
- Start date
I don’t really disagree with the sentiment here. But I also find this dude’s posts really friggin annoying right after a loss.
Hi
And by the way, our assistants are awful too and add nothing. All hype.
in gam, and overall portal and recruiting. He can teach defense to willing players and that’s it. These players aren’t willing.

Harper and Bailey were a disaster tonight. Team is no better than last year. It was embarrassing the lack of effort
WRONG
HE FLAT OUT F-N SUCKS
2 of their top players missing
ZERO ROAD WINS
2 lottery picks
SUCKS
I’m usually ready to defend Rutgers but not tonight
This was an effort loss and a culture loss
Ya know what? We all know….you’ve said it thousands of times.
I’m all for Pike bashing, mostly this season. It’s been a disaster no doubt. But tonight was about effort, the stars played like they could care less about the result of the game.
It’s his job to motivate the players. If he can’t, he’s lost the team.
Oh that’s going to be so F’ing fun considering he is here at least through next season
What coaching is he really doing? The roster sucks. So fail on player evaluation. We don't run an offense. It's playground basketball. So fail on x's and o's. And the same issues come up every game with no team or player improvement. This team is as bad now as game 1. So failure on player development. I don't get the love.
Time for a fire Pike fund!!!
Forget about NIL
Big 10 network all over Rutgers 2nd half attitude
This is an atrocious culture, there have been signs of it for years. It’s like a growing cancer.
Time to cut out the cancer fire Pike

Hard to argue there’s anyone who’s done a worse job in the country this year
Can’t lose what you never had.
This team has no identity, culture or system to fall back on
Biggest loser in all this might be Brandin Knight…will he still be a hot head coach candidate after the team’s showing this year?
Nope agreed 110% and to add we can’t even get the ball inbounds 3 turnovers in the first half is just beyond shtty coaching
Maybe Cam Spencer was onto something in saying he wanted to go someplace where there was some accountability.
McCaffery out coaches Pike every time.
Maybe. Basketball, especially with two lottery picks, is players game. Pike sucked no doubt. But the players on the court giving half *** effort is on them.
Ace and Dylan are gone mentally. They are already wherever the draft is.
I never bet on Rutgers sports but I am very tempted to put some real money on Oregon. That's going to be a bloodbath.
Rutgers needs to come to some agreement with Pike the end of the season, and if he doesn't step down and accept a buyout then he needs to be fired. He CANNOT coach this team next year period.
If you can't get your players to at least play hard then you're not much of a coach.
How could it. It's virtually a completely new roster this year and likely will be again next year as well. It's on Pike for failing to build any level of continuity going into this season around Ace and Dylan. Totally unacceptable. Imagine them playing with the likes of Geo and Caleb as veterans around them to set the culture and carry some load. Instead we got a bunch of nothing. What a total failure this season has been. Due to non existent leadership and apathy, Pike will keep going for a few more years. But wow, it's not good on so many levels. Unfortunately Pike is just not cut out for this new world it seems.

They rebounded ok. They just played soft. Every 5050 ball went Iowa's way.
They are young and you need to go through things at that age but one thing you can't live with is lack of effort.
They thought they were going to just roll out and win the second half because they won the first half. The coaches didn't get through to them they weren't tough enough to understand it.
Ultimately it's on the coaches but if you are a player on that team you are having a long look in the mirror and saying you fvcked your coach.
Or maybe they don't care. They are all making some money, Ace and Dylan are multi millionaire's about to have FU you money before they turn 19...as fans we you don't want to think it's possible but maybe they just don't give af.

You can stick a fork in this, because they are done. They are going nowhere!
