Pikiell Sucks

[richthedentist]

There are no words for the coaching job tonight. I have never seen such bad lineups
How’s Oskar playing so much and how are you playing a 3 guard lineup when our guards are 6’0 tall

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Agree.. pike is not a good coach. We need an assistant that can come up with an offense.

 

[SantaFeScarlet]

Agreed.....THE Question.....when is Pike on the coaching hot seat?

 

[RU Mike73]

Go **** yourself. You’re such a douche to rush to be first to post this. Horrible game but you suck!

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Great guy but this season has exposed some stuff.

Sucks because I really want him to succeed

 

[SBP]

Horrible rotations.

 

[richthedentist]

I know Aundre missed the layup but you don’t play him the last 15 minutes

 

[SantaFeScarlet]

????????

 

[dudehimself3]

Jets and Saleh = Rutgers and Pike

Rutgers might be good next year because of Ace and Dylan, and we right back to square 1 with Pike when they leave. Same thing applies to the Jets and Aaron Rodgers/Saleh.

Who didnt miss a layup? I bet everyone can state what Pike will say in his press conference...all ********

 

[Mikemarc]

Much like Schiano. A great motivator that gets his teams to play hard.

Not a great X and Os guy it seems.

Defensively YES...Offense NO

Even with our better teams the past few years we lacked coaching. Just go re-watch the Houston game. Go watch Notre Dame game.

Greg at least is willing to change now.

Politi will def have a column about Pike tonight or in the morning

Schiano catches 100x the **** that Pike does. And he had to turn over a roster of 100 players. Pike has had nothing but bouquets at his feet for years, and for the most part, deservedly so. Next year, no more kid gloves.

Cause pikiell has had more success than Schiano (yes it’s easier to succeed in hoops, I get that)

 

[shields]

Rich the dentist would come out and kill Paul. Just tired of his act. And yes this team stinks. i can't understand how a guy like Williams can't shoot 60% from line.

 

[RUBlackout7]

Pike got lucky with Ron and McConnell.

Pike has had more success than Schiano?? What are you drinking?

 

[The RUT]

Here's the issue. This place puts way too much stock into making the NCAA tournament.

Relative to Rutgers (who has neglected sports for years), yes it's a big deal. Relative to our league? No.

Literally all the dude needed to do was finish in the top half of the league and you're given a tournament bid. Not that impressive tbh.

Like a root canal

Honestly, he needs to be put on at least a warm seat next year and if he can't make the tourney and get through one round with that talent he needs to go on the hot seat the following year. You can't have 9 years of this type of garbage play. Nebraska and Minnesota have turned it around. Common denominator -- better coaches.

 

[Duff366]

Making the NCAA tournament 3 out of 4 years (counting Covid year) >>>>>>>>>>>>> making a low level bowl game

 

[bitnez]

Pike has gotten a lot of love the last few years. He earned all of it.

Tonight — he earns whatever the fans throw at him.

If he doesn't make the tournament next season he should be fired right after selection sunday. I'm not even joking.

 

[Mikemarc]

10000%..I don’t think it’s even a question our hoops program has been much more successful over the last handful of years.

 

[ancienthooper]

Totally obnoxious thread title but par for the course for the d-bag dentist.

 

[malaka27]

Agreed.....THE Question.....when is Pike on the coaching hot seat?

Not anytime soon.

It’s one season where he had basically zero time to fill the void left by 2 starters in the portal, and people are surprised that the team is worse this year? When 3 starters left?

Rutgers fans thoughts.....we made it 3 of 4 years

Covid was cancelled...NOPE
Made the Actual Tournament..YES (1)
Play in game and lost...NOPE
NIT 1st round top seed LOST...

And we had talent

Success might not be the right word here.

Finally putting you and your incessant complaints and ****** posts on ignore, you suck and are one of the worst fans. Glad I won’t see another post of yours ever again.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

You think this was ugly…wait until the season after next.

 

[Duff366]

Showing your true blue colors King of S.. like clockwork, get a life and stick to the Hall board

 

[dbegleiter]

Lineups were god awful. What’s with trying to play 10 guys? Not sure how he thinks playing palmquist gives them the best chance to win

I love Pike, but I’m trying to be fair here too. Since walking off the court in Indy prior to the 2020 BIG Tournament, this program is 63-53 (34-35). It’ll be far worse than that by mid-March. 1 NCAA win, a loss in a play-in, a total collapse last year and a trainwreck this year. That’s not a small sample size. Hes not in danger of losing his job this year OR next, especially with the class he’s got coming in. But he should catch some heat.

So the Covid year just didn't happen then? Play in game is the tournament and you know that.

Of course he should catch some heat. But there’s no question his tenure has been more successful thus far than Greg’s.

I don’t really know how this is debatable

 

[bethlehemfan]

Pike got lucky with Ron and McConnell.

He got lucky with more guys than that. Luck doesn’t produce an ncaa caliber team for four straight years. That’s just silly.

Ridiculously stupid post. Because we won 20 games and had a unanimous NCAA quality season but COVID happened that means Pike cant coach?

 

[RUBOB72]

Great guy but this season has exposed some stuff.

Sucks because I really want him to succeed

Don’t confuse these two things regarding Pikiell. Yes Pikiell is a nice guy and we all want better results but tonight and the season in general is showing some chinks in our coach‘s game coaching ability. His D mind is fine …His offensive credentials are suspect. We won with great defense the past 3- seasons and a group of experienced players. We lack a Ron Harper Jr. , Geo Baker type shooter…. How the heck can that be?
