OT: Problems in UCLA Locker Room

I think I may put you on ignore. To say you wanted him fired after the Houston game.
All fair but that game for me is all I needed to see. He was out coached panicked and cost us a real chance to get to the final four.

I knew then he reached the level he could and would never get us further. For some that was enough and buys him a decade of failure. I want to win and win consistently. He deserves a lot of credit for that one class and what he accomplished but it’s over.

The numerous amounts of games he has cost us since simply by inept coaching has grown. His inability to build a team has become more apparent.

You can provide any and all of the excuses needed. It’s a results world and Pike is failing miserably.

Pike and pike alone said the Rutgers standard is making the NCAA tournament. Well that is not on the horizon ever for him.

It’s over

OT (Updated): The Saturday 1/11 Event Now Looking Like <1" with a Whiff Possible on the Low Side and 1-2" Possible on the High Side

A dusting at most in Belmont Hills and Manayunk. Not even measurable. The sun sneaked briefly. This "storm" will be unrecognizable in a few hours.
Philadelphia area official snow count for the season before last night was 2.2 inches. Less then most deep South cities.

Carino Lights Us Up

If Carino is correct.. I think maybe we see Pike surrender on this season and start training up the team for future seasons. That would mean more losses but closer losses.. unless the stars do not cooperate because they are one and done anyway. If he doesn't train em up for future seasons... instead of a single rebuild year we could be looking at a slippery-slope kinda thing.

I was hoping that the other guys playing with Ace and Dylan would improve beyond what they could have because of going against them in practice.

The team has to get it together but I don't see a team leader to rally around.

OT: 2025 NY Jets Off Season Thread

I would be good with Flores. I thought he did a good job at Miami and kind of got screwed. He would bring toughness and accountability, he’s a NY guy and wouldn’t put up with nonsense.
It sounded like Flores’ interpersonal skills needed some work based on how he was perceived in MIA, but he was absolute right in pushing back on the idea of betting the team’s future on Tua.

OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread

I’m not sure how much better even Soto is by waiting for free agency. Wasn’t the Washington offer like $450m with opt outs. He would have banked 2 additional years of max money and likely still redid his contract if he performed the same. Factor in the time value of money, those 2 extra years are huge.
That's way beyond my skill set. I'm more of a first grade math teacher.

OT: Problems in UCLA Locker Room

Very valid and so were clear. I was done with Pike when he lost the Houston game in the NCAA. Good man , great defensive mind, ZERO offensive mind.(9 years and hadn’t hired anyone to help). He has quietly gutted the program over the last 5 years.

He got Ace because his godfather is an assistant coach. He got Dylan because of Ace and his less talented brother got a chance here and play close to home. Lets not forget the $$$$.

I wanted him fired before his extension. Completely understand that he deserved one just not to the length Hobbs gave.

This year further proves it wasn’t talent holding Pike back it was Pike holding Pike back.

He’s done ! Any excuse to letting him stay will have us below where he took over and our reputation gutted.
