Like I said a few games ago Pikeil can not coach. He is a disgrace. If Paul is our savior than I need a new team to watch. We will not win playing a five guard rotation. Every other teams starters play 30 plus minutes in the big ten. When we did that we were 7-1, but that’s only because Pikeil didn’t have a choice. So that wasn’t his good coaching. He didn’t have a choice but to play our starters 30 plus minuets. I don’t care what anyone says Pikeil deserves to be fired. He is the most amateur coach in the big 10.
This is your original post.
Where are the facts to back up your OPINIONS?
Saying he can't coach or is a disgrace with no real facts to back up that opinion proves nothing. Who has ever said Paul is a Savior, he was the first NJ player in 27 years to average a triple double in a season but he is more a versatile role player than a savior, not that we need one team is pretty loaded. I agree I would love to see more of a conventional starting lineup but to accomplish that he would have to start 2 freshman at PF and C and that will win you less games starting Cliff/Reiber or Cliff/Mag. I don't like starting Myles, just seems to be more effective off the bench. Pike only cut the freshman out after 4 OOC games because a true Freshman cant win you B1G conference games, but they sure can lose you a game with too many mistakes and minutes. Firing Pike is laughable. He is well respected in the B1G as well as all of college basketball.
