If you go to You Tube and search the title of a favorite rock song and the phrase "and reaction" you will usually find several "young" reviewers listening and giving their opinions on what they hear. Unbelievably, they have never heard many of these songs (maybe bits and pieces from sampling or something used in a commercial). They love most of the stuff we took for granted growing up and also bemoan what they have to listen to today. I have to admit, it is interesting watching someone who never heard "Roundabout" or "Won't Get Fooled Again" light up with amazement at what they are hearing. Brings me back to my own time when I heard this stuff for the first time.

Program desperately needs a General Manager for which player evaluation is essential.

As Shack highlighted - past few years of recruiting have been awful as has been the portal - sans Cam Spencer.

It goes easy on Pike in the sense it's blaming him for not adapting to the landscape well enough.

Really the issue is that he has a fairly awful record of identifying/acquiring talent, especially in recent years

Only assistant coach who should return is Jay Young.

Knight is overrated. There is a reason why he has yet to become a HC

Thompson and Smoke are a dime a dozen.

If Knight should become a HC - Smoke will be his top assistant.

Pike needs to make CEO decisions at the end of this season - not decisions based on loyalty. .

We need an offensive mind on the staff.

Fair, I wouldn’t say he gutted it but I would say it might be gutted and it’s due to the portal, our lack of resources and his coaching style

If a coach can't get players that he evaluated and recruited to do the things he needs them to do then he doesn't deserve to lead them. Everybody likes to talk about how much a buyout will cost us. How about how much we will fail to make if we keep him.

At this point, those smaller programs have become feeders for larger programs. You get a kid to develop for 2 years, and then they hit the portal and cash in somewhere else. At this point the only programs that haven't yet fallen victim to this sort of churn are the Ivies.

He will be an asset on the court for sure, the offseason just didn’t sit right with me. I’ll get over it if he’s good and less than $1 million to keep though

No. He is not a great coach. He’s a coach that can teach defense to willing learners. And that’s it.

We are as likely to go 4-11 as we are to go 11-4….we aren’t back in the RAC until 2/1 at which point we could be 1-8 in-conference. This is a young soft immature team, we could very easily only win 1-2 more games this season.

I can't think of a player whose offensive game developed under Pike.

Defensively yes, offense - no
