Hyatt has EARNED a starting role over Caleb

[SBP]

It’s now time for Caleb to come off the bench for energy and defense. We need points early on to get a cushion, THEN bring Caleb in to shut people down.

We will NOT beat good offensive teams in the tourney unless we SCORE MORE.

Mags defense will pick up slack and Hyatt is no slouch on D.

It’s time. It’s obvious.

Holy cow. The time is obvious for you to stop trying to be coach.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Some guys are better off the bench and like coming off the bench.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Hyatt is fine at 6th man.What we need simply is Cam to find his stroke.

 

[jtung230]

So we are an offense 1st team now?

 

[Degaz-RU]

Caleb is our best defender (notwithstanding today). He is NOT coming off the bench.

If anything, Pike should be considering benching Cam and starting Hyatt.

 

[SBP]

So we are an offense 1st team now?

No We are a team that needs to score more. Cam is slumping for now. Hyatt has proven himself a strong shooting option. Caleb had not. You think Caleb’s D is worth losing games because we can’t score?

 

[RUJMM78]

The lack of consistent scoring from Caleb isn't the only starter not playing up to expectations.The 18 turnovers many of which were unforced is a serious problem caused by experienced players.

 

[Shell21]

You don’t overreact to one or two games when we are on track to finish in the top of the standings again and make the tourney again. If Hyatt is playing like he has been he’s going to get his minutes anyways and finish games

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Love Hyatt off bench. He’s been playing well. Don’t mess with that.

 

[Knightmoves]

It’s great that we have all these armchair coaches on this board.

 

[rubjk]

Scoring wasn’t the problem today.

Suddenly pike can’t coach

Hurry call pike and tell him

You needed to start two threads on basically the same subject?

Its an interesting strategy if your goal is to give up 70-75 a game and lose.

 

[biazza38]

No

This OP would be better coming off the bench

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

OP wanted Reiber as starting 4.

Staying on the bench.

 

[SBP]

Yup and he didn’t pan out. You had a chrystal ball?

 

[SBP]

Staying on the bench.

You’ll see Hyatt getting more minutes than Caleb there’s no doubt. You’re blind if you can’t see that.

 

[njxchange]

Can we all just stop this non-sense???

 

[Scangg]

SBP king of the hilarious overreaction posts

 

[jtung230]

How many points did we score today? We won many games scoring less. How many points did we give up? Have we won any games giving up that many?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

My ball knows that Hyatt shouldn’t play over Caleb

[rufeelinit]

He seems to get more minutes at the expense of Cam just as much as Caleb. Caleb had foul trouble today so that contributed to his lower PT. Caleb does have a lot of head scratching moments for a 5th or 6th year senior particularly on the offensive end when handling the ball. He should never be more than the 3rd option regardless of who is on the floor.

While Hyatt has been hot recently, I would say there is a greater differentiation between Caleb's ability defensively compared to Hyatt than on the offensive end where Hyatt has had the edge lately. You know what Pike values the most.

 

[PaKnight]

I did not have a crystal ball, but it was clear to me that Dean would not be starting. Just have to understand basketball.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

The OP spelled Cam wrong. If there is anybody who needs to go to that role it's him. If you come in and provide some instant offense great. If not back to the bench you go.

I do and played the game on a great high school team. Dean never took that next step as we all expected. It happens

You know what, I’ll agree with that too!!!

Appreciate the ops comedy after a tough loss. Well done.

Watch where the minutes go. It’s all about productivity

You don't bench a potential national defensive player of the year

This might be the single dumbest ****ing thread even posted on these boards, holy shit.

There’s so much competition. But he’s prolific so he’s got a shot.

That’s not going to happen ever unless Caleb is hurt. Caleb is probably going to play more minutes than anyone else on the team the rest of the way. He can lock up any player on the court. That is much much more valuable than hitting a few threes.
