Seriously dude?Yeah came after talking about Nigel Johnson who has been running the point the last 8 minutes or so that I have been watching. I can’t believe they are number 8 in the country with Nigel getting so many minutes when he is such a cancer. We couldn’t use him. Great call by Pike. Losing confidence by the day.

You really think Nigel had no say in looking to transfer? He had one year left to make the tourney and he took it with a good program. We aren't there yet and he knew it.Yeah came after talking about Nigel Johnson who has been running the point the last 8 minutes or so that I have been watching.

First of all, Nigel does not start and if have watched any of the game , you will see he mostly passes and defers and has been reined in by Bennett. If he gets reckless , he will on the bench in a minute . Yes we miss him over Souf, but Geo has taken up the slack for his offensive production . I wish he was still here so we would have 4 competent guards and another three point shooter but his attitude here compared to Virginia is Night and Day.Yeah came after talking about Nigel Johnson who has been running the point the last 8 minutes or so that I have been watching.

Please that is such bull. Nobody talked about him being a cancer during the season. He seemed like a great kid on the court. Only after he left people started saying that. So Pike doesn’t have the skill set as a coach to handle Nigel? Then he won’t succeed. Wait until he has to manage 4 Star guys with real attitude.First of all, Nigel does not start and if have watched any of the game , you will see he mostly passes and defers and has been reined in by Bennett.

It was posted on his board that pike encouraged Nigel to leave. It was an Enormous mistake. We win both Stony Brook and Hartford with Nigel and maybe beat FSU.
You might be the one and only person here who is down on Pike. Congrats.Please that is such bull. Nobody talked about him being a cancer during the season. He seemed like a great kid on the court.

Really? You don't even know what went down.Yeah came after talking about Nigel Johnson who has been running the point the last 8 minutes or so that I have been watching.

Just saw that. Both guys from NJ. Dicky V loves Rutgers.
You do not know that with Nigel , we beat Stony Brook Or Hartford , as someone snatched our mojo, our intensity, our defense and our rebounding for 3 games including Purdue. We did not need Nigel to beat Stony Brook or Hartford, we needed our team that played last night and against Seton Hall, FSU, and Michigan State to show up.Please that is such bull.

Yes:smiley:And you take everything as gospel that is posted here?
He does? What makes you think that?

Then Bill Belichek will be our OC next year?Yes:smiley:
Would love to see him honored at RU for something and/or call one of our games when we are consistently good.Watch the BTN show about the 1976 team. Dickie V was crying that he was passed over for the HC position.
If it is preceded by “take it to the bank” then you know that it will not happen....lolThen Bill Belichek will be our OC next year?

What did dick V say, I was playing PUBG and wasn’t paying attention as I was taking artillery fire from the north ?

What do you disagree with? Or anyone else above? You think Souf for Nigel was a good move? Our “insiders” all said it was Pikes call. I actually like Pike I just can’t believe those two moves. Letting Nigel go and bringing in Souf.A high sense of awareness you do not have

---He wants RU to succeed, even though we should have given him the HC job back in the day and passed.
"Letting" Nigel go? He was a grad transfer. He could go anywhere there was mutual interest. And he wanted to go somewhere to make the NCAA's. We took in a grad transfer last year--CJ Gettys, a fan favorite. Mensah and Sa have not panned out; that happens with a program emerging from the depths. But you act as though swapping Nigel for Mensah is on Pike. It is not.

two things......
1) I would agree totally that we should have given the job to Vitale when the RU job became available.... Maybe we don't go undefeated in 76, because some games are won and lost by coaching, that would have been fortunate good luck to have it happen with either coach....but the team would have had a dynamic season with either Tom or Dick.
we would have done better recruiting from the 76 season on, with Vitale.... IMO
Most importantly, I would wager that Vitale would have been all over the administration to join the new big east when it was formed....He was no dummy in regards to the new leagues potential..... I doubt he could have swung the decision.... but he might have had some influence....who knows?
2) as a former E Rutherford person, I could tell you that I don't believe he would have held up as a coach long term..... He was just such an overzealous person, he would have burned out, some of it being from a physical standpoint, and some of it stress...
