Notes for Pike

[winfield102]

Please watch all possessions where Caleb shoots or drives and tries to shoot. It has to stop. Will he stop the blatant hook when he drives to the hole? He's also has to value the ball more. He shouldn't be leading the team in TO's.

Why are we feeding cliff in the post? What's his shooting percentage if it isn't a dunk? It's brutal. Why are guards passing it to him when he doesn't have excellent position. He shouldn't be catching the ball 12-14 feet from the basket.

Please stop letting the guys shoot deep 2's.

The team is offensively challenged. They can't afford to essentially throw away 10-12 possessions a game.

You think Pike wants your notes? You honestly believe you know better than he does? Unbelievable.

If we see it, I’m sure he (they) do, your points are valid.

These posts crack me up.

It feels to me like the force-feeding Cliff at the start of each half is often more effective than when we try to get him the ball later in each half. Maybe he fatigues? But that's not something I have really looked at.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Pike said he talks to Jim Calhoun after most games. I think we are in good shape x's and o's wise..

It's well known that Calhoun only broke through and won his national championships when message boards became more popular. Coincidence? I think not...

I have a lot of the same observations and fustrations

I posted about our teams Bball IQ, this is exactly what I was referring to, to many bad offensive possessions.
Caleb should focus on D, I feel he is pressing to score and it’s impacting his game his D our team D and ultimately our team.

tell me you've never coached basketball without telling me...

He continually forgets to move his feet, hence the awkward positioning of stretching horizontally to the basket and the inconsistency to secure loose balls and missed passes

Dear Tiger Woods,

I’ve notice your hips seem to be opening up a little late. Please fix

I see what you did there and I appreciate it.

Fine, now you weigh in. And where were you with the life advice he needed before going off the rails with all those women?

 

[zebnatto]

Notes for Pike? I don’t know.

But I agree with the points about Caleb and Cliff.

Also you get injured too much

Yeah maybe he does value tips.

 

[winfield102]

Are any of my points off? We are a bad shooting team and we compound it by taking too many low percentage shots. We do it every game.

Pike clearly hasn't had a talk with Caleb about his offense. It's not his time to try and fill geo and Ron's shoes on offense. He's the 6th option in the top seven players.

This is a good point. Pike says “equal opportunity offense” and that’s a mistake the better offensive players should take the most shots. Cam and Paul should shoot more Caleb should almost never take 3s

Just about every other point they prob already work on but it’s just not that easy

The offensive problems are known but the solutions are missing and will only be corrected by players like Griffiths and Bailey in future seasons.

 

[winfield102]

Hey pike, you gonna have that talk with Caleb?

 

[RW90]

There is no talk to be had. Pike and any coach will tell you if you are open shoot it. Problem is Caleb has to know better when he is off, especially as a senior.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Way to hang tough in a game that could have gotten out of control!!!

Please stop. Posting and we may win more

You have zero clue

 

[winfield102]

Most coaches will define a player's role on offense and defense. Giving Caleb free reign this year has not worked out.

As of now we are a single digit seed in the NCAA tournament and looking good for a double bye in B1G. Did you expect us to go undefeated? Haha

Winfield, keep on expressing your opinions, that’s what this board is for. Ignore the mean girls who are nothing but snarky jerk offs.

This. Caleb as a senior needs to make better decisions. He knew he was off and kept forcing and chucking 3's anyway

 

[mildone]

Also you get injured too much

He’s a hell of a driver though.

 

[MiloTalon13]

Tough to watch
It’s not just the bad shots his reads and decisions are horrible

Bad shots happen. But bad decisions are frustrating.

I just emailed him your notes, he said thanks

 

[red sail]

Does Pike actually read these boards?
If so, Pike can you get me a couple floor seats for the Regionals when we make it to the sweet 16?
Thanks in advance

McConnell was 1-12. That was brutal. Of all people he needs to know when to stop.

No, no. This is a thread about giving to Pike. Not taking from him.

Bad fan. Bad. 😉

Write 10 Hail Mary’s and add them to the park age of notes being compiled to give to Pike.

Actually, I don’t even know what a Hail Mary is. And I’m Catholic and everything. Hm.
