Fair article in my humble opinion

Fair story at a high level but the lack of a top 200 offense, given the current roster, is where criticism is warranted. Oh and when you lose 7 of your last 8 games absent of major injuries, the HC is going to catch heat.
Pike should have been able to squeeze out an NIT bid in a down year for the conference.

Fair story. He did better than Coach Slappy at vaunted Michigan! Progress is not linear. There are things he could have done better, but the trajectory looks good. But the tourney is a minimum goal next season, and Sweet 16 would show real progress.
Wish "hate on" would permanently disappear from the lexicon. Never hear the opposite "like on".

It's popular with the ignorant.
Maybe I am naive...what percent of Rutgers fans are hating on Pike?
This story is trying to make something that isnt really happening.

This. Stories reacting to a handful of nutjobs/trolls on social media is such crappy journalism.
The opposite of "hate" is "love," and people certainly say "love on"
Not arguing/commenting on your dislike of the phrase, just saying lol
I can't stand it when it's used during a disagreement: "Haters gonna hate..." No, I don't hate anyone or anything in this case, just disagreeing with your point or argument.
Passive-Aggressive piece of nonsense that projects more of a dissatisfaction with Pike than actually exists…exactly what the author’s intention is.
Agree.. There are a few haters that routinely post on this board… but we know they are not fans. There are a few shu and psu trolls amongst others.
Bori, thanks for the article. Yes, it was a very fair article, although no one including local journalists ever seem to bring up to Pike why he and Brandon can create a better offense. Even with a recent great players our offense was never a top offense in the league or in the nation. It's great to have an elite defense, but if you can't score and miss easy layups, open jump shots, and stink from the FT line, then one needs to question what kind of player you're recruiting into the program. Yes, of course next season is going to be exciting, but I want to see compliment players around the two stars who can contribute on the offensive side. Personally, I love the way Danny Hurley runs an offense. We need to see more of that.Get a grip: The hate on Rutgers basketball head coach Steve Pikiell is completely unfounded

I stopped reading at “now Purdue is perennially in the Big10 Tournament”
Wow, that’s impressive.

Because you're a gentleman Pete. Same with Shift. I clearly don't agree with you two at times but you have a maturity to talk and not yell. ( How's that for kissing some ass tonight)
