Izzo in his presser is gushing about Pike. It’s not coach speak. You can see he has a ton of respect for his coaching abilities. More than he probably should given he’s never lost to him.
It's one million percent coach speak. Go look up what he said about Eddie. He does this for every single coach.
Izzo saying that Pikes is a great coach is insulting? Watching more BTN right now and Izzo just said he’s an outstanding coach. I don’t feel insulted.
Yea I don’t buy anything nice Izzo says. Go watch his presser from lat season at the RAC. He was totally dismissive of the Rutgers team and gave them no credit
because he is saying it in a condescending way....as if Rutgers can actually compete with my fable Michigan State. It demeans RU basketball when everyone including BTN analysts rave about the coaching job, its not about Pike, its about their attitude that RU is expected to be the doormat. It works for the first season or two but by year 4 its so backhanded
