Now go to the politics board to have that faith removed againResponses to the OP have restored some of my faith in this board.
Cellar Dweller to now...imagine that. And unless you got a bag man and you are scoring 1 and done's out of the gate, it's a process to build up that recruiting rep. You don't just start landing multiple 4/5 stars every yearPike has taken us from cellar dwellar to respectable in the toughest P5 conference. For that, we should be thankful. However, the lack of a half-court offense and poor recruiting, relative to the top half of the league, is a not a formula for sustained success. For whatever reason, we're no longer the gritty teams of Pike's past. I look at Collins at Northwestern and think of Pike, with an NCAA appearance every 6 to 8 years. Guess the fans will have to determine if that's acceptable.
real question .
What do you think Pikes Ceiling is as a B10 head coach?
He needs to improve his in game coaching and substitutions.Hes a solid program builder,but after that where does he top off at compared to other current B10 HCs?
Maybe just maybe people expect at least EFFORT... something a paying fan base deserves.For years the RAC was lucky to get 5000 fans for a men’s game. Last year we sold out 8000 seats the last 5 games in a row.
You can tell on here which people are part of that 3000.
Two thingsHe would be hired by another good program so quick. Only Rutgers fans are clueless enough, to not realize how good of a coach he is. He's not a perfect coach, but he's for sure a damn good one. Im enthusiastic about the future of this program, and feel it's just getting started
Two things
1) hes getting two more years minimum
2) hes not getting poached because we pay him an absurd amount of money, way more than hes worth
3) like it or not we are stuck with him
This. And the Pike bashers should keep in mind...RU is one bad hire...one roll of the dice...away from returning to the clown show of the past.He would be hired by another good program so quick.

You may wanna peep the contracts lol. Pikes median salary over the remainder of his contract is like $3.1 million. Top 3-4 in B1G. Close to top 15 nationallyPike is the second lowest paid coach in the Big Ten, and about to become the lowest after this year once Howard gets a HUGE (and well deserved) new contract.
Pike is NOT paid a ridiculous amount of money for what he has done, and still can do, which is finish .500 in the best conference in college basketball, beat a top 5 team at home and give the second best team in the country all they can handle on their home court. OH, and a little thing like taking us to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 30 years.
God, some of you really have to think before you post.... to save yourself from looking like a fool.

What we have seen more times than not since January is several clown showings.This. And the Pike bashers should keep in mind...RU is one bad hire...one roll of the dice...away from returning to the clown show of the past.

Freddie, Hobbs ain't hiring you back and Jordan will remain respected as the player, not the Head Coach.no one can deny he has improved the status of Rutgers basketball. That being said the team has regressed, they no longer give
100% every game, they are stale on offense, the recruiting this year was not that of a top 25 team, and, most importantly there is no
plan forward.
