PennSt coach

Wow - penn state coach really took his kids to the shower!!!

Cringe Wince GIF
 
I have a lot of respect for this coach! Perfect mix of “they kicked our ass and played “Big Man basketball” and “we lost because we were soft and couldn’t hit a lot of open shots.”

Never heard a visiting coach praise us like that while tearing down his own team.
what open shots beside the early one where Cam got faked out
 
“They played grown man basketball, we were soft”
They thing is, they were not soft. They leaned they pushed they hacked. RU did to them with 4 guys what PSU does with Pickett. Our guys are just have too much length compared to them. They could not stop it without fouling much harder than they were. They were fouling too.

When he said, “Show some pride” I honestly think he wanted his guys to give some hard fouls under the basket. We just did whatever we wanted in there.

Pike also hammers teams now. We used to be happy to win by 5-8 pts but Pike doesn’t let up anymore. PSU had enough with about 3 minutes to go and Pike kept our guys in to push it to 20.

Loved that!!!

I noticed very early on this season that pike had changed up his substitution patterns throughout games (wasn’t playing a bench beyond the better/proven guys… sorry miller and Oscar) and he only called off the dogs VERY LATE in the game

Good.

Love it

Especially against the likes of Penn state. Bury them!!
 
Starting to not like this guy …calling our refs all over the place is one thing , but calling his team soft to the media ???

That’s stuff you save for private with the lockerroom closed

Saying things like that …is how a coach can lose his team real quick ….
 
Mr Shrewsbury should also pay attention to a moron manager / admin guy on their staff who would constantly yell when our guys were shooting free throws. It’s one thing for fans to do but I have never seen a staff person of an opposing team do this. Very unprofessional .

Yes indeed. Big change from prior years. We kept our starters in until the final buzzer.

My gf was walking past the tv and said, “Why is he trashing his players like that?” It made me realize, Pike has never, and would never, do something like that.
 
The coachspeak filter was definitely turned off.

We saw that Temple player get called out by his coach before we played, and that worked for him. We shall see on Sunday. I don't think they will shoot 15.4% from long range.

We really do have a unique defensive problem for PSU if they don't have a 4th or 5th option step up. Caleb makes Pickett work for his. Mag makes Funk have a hard time getting any clean looks. Lundy isn't going to score 25. Where else can they get buckets? Michigan won't be able to replicate what we did.
 
In the post game presser, that is being aired on BTN right now , this guy is saying it like it is . He is giving rutgers credit and said we played “grown man basketball”. He’s also pretty tough on his team.
Good stuff . Critical of the refs. Seems like a good dude
Definitely not a good dude.
Saying those things to your guys in the locker room is one thing. Saying them to a camera after that is a whole different ball game.
It's like family. At home you can fight like cats and dogs. But, out in the street you stick up for yours not matter what. Sort out right and wrong when you get home.
Guy is a dick and fits right in at State Penn.

Maybe the other team just decided it's in their best interest to let you shoot all you want? :) :) :)
I cancelled my Y membership when the pandemic hit…but will shoot hoops at the playground on occasion. I did win a stuffed penguin for a gal at the Wildwood boardwalk in the mid 80’s on legit rims. I just walked up and hit two long FT’s in a row I believe for the prize. I’m focused on beer league hockey right now.

I really like Shrewsberry. He will be coaching PSU for a long time. He's a fine coach who needs some time to recruit players to his program. He was brutally honest in his presser--his team did play soft and was destroyed under the boards. .
 
Eh coaches have different styles. Pike would never do that, and I favor that style, but there are plenty of fire and brimstone coaches who will try to motivate the team with a public tongue lashing. Shaheen Halloway just did it to SHU.
 
Being a coach who publicly throws players under the bus can’t be a plus on the recruiting and transfer portal trail.
There are better ways to handle the matter.
Can’t imagine Bobby Knight, Herb Brooks coaching today
 
Point of fact, I just sent out an email to the parents of 3rd-4th grade rec basketball team admonishing their children for their lack of hustle on rebounds, their shoddy zone defense, and their pudgy, out of shape wheezing (too many video games!) As for my own son, I made him sleep in the shed because he went 0-4 from the line.

That should light a fire under them!

Oh stop . These guys are semipro athletes and have heard a lot of stuff and yelled at plenty of times.
 
IL has played pretty well since Underwood trashed them, with sound effects, in his postgame remarks a few weeks back.
