Pikiell Dinner Tonight
- Thread starter MCKnight
- Start date
No real news. Hobbs and Pikiell spoke briefly. They're excited and energized. We're going to win (eventually). They need our support.
Also, construction plans for the practice facility are moving forward.
Spoke to the coaches tonite at the meet and greet. Coach Pikell said we are going to press, play defense and we will rebound. Coach Knight and Coach Petrone spoke about honesty when dealing with recruits.They all said its all about relationships. They all are impressive, I believe better days are ahead.
This event was hosted by Jason and his wife Debbie. I can't remember their names. But kudos to them for this wonderful gesture.
I was looking forward to going but had to cancel last minute. Hoping Coach Pikiell speaks at a preseason Court Club appearance. Press / defense / rebounding is music to my ears.
My preferred style of play. Fast pace and up and down the floor. Until things pick up, Pikiell just needs to find those under the radar kids ready to embrace the challenge.
Under the radar kids didn't get the job done in the Big East and the AAC and the same results apply to the B1G.The answer always has been higher level talent that previous head coaches failed to recruit or subsequently transferred after playing for Rutgers.
Those are not my words.....they are Pikiell's words. Send him an email to complain....lol
I said that but I didn't know their last names. I had 2 wines and my husband drove home so sue me. What are their last names. They were gracious hosts.
Their names are on the invitation - not that difficult to find - Newcomb. And, yes, it was VERY generous of them and a great event.
The greatest thing about the new revolution in the NBA lead by the Warriors is the emphasis on building a team, rather than just rolling out talent.
Rolling the ball out with hyper talented players will only get you so far. System based players are preferable. The more talented the better of course, but the system is just as important as talent.

Without Curry making a bushel of 3 pointers every game the Warriors wouldn't be playing for the NBA Championship.Talent is far more important than the system.Look at the Knicks with the triangle offense minus Jordan or Koby.
But you didn't get any bacon wrapped scallops at the country club.
The Warriors as a team are great at raining threes. Steph hasn't been the best player game after game in the playoffs. By and large, Cleveland's done a good job on Steph this series. It hasn't stopped the Warriors one bit.
I feel that the only hoops our fan base watches is Rutgers hoops. If people watched more hoops, they would know that the triangle offense is an outmoded system that is useless in the NBA. That's such a poor example.
The proliferation of the 3-point shot. Chucking from all corners. The entire court is your canvas. The diminishing value of a traditional center.
