Shoes retained. Knight hired.

Nukem and ru66 (who has always attacked me in harsh ways) I said nothing harsh or wrong. Just my thoughts. I even said great two pickups and HC and Associate HC. Now I say its a good staff and get attacked by you. Oh well just another day for me. Glad those on this board who truly understand are not angry for no reason. I will depart giving my input in many ways you have no idea about. Again, congrats to all of you true fans of your fine university.

LFBall, obviously you are free to have an opinion. I'm just pointing out how many of your posts have been full of backhanded compliments. Here are the titles to some of your posts: "Rutgers looking good but", "Not trying to rain on your parade but". It's always "but". Listen, there is no fan of Rutgers basketball that doesn't know we've sucked for too long of a time now. This is a time that Rutgers AD is showing signs that they get what it takes to succeed at this level. You didn't even like the hire of the head coach. Here is the link to that thread that you started:

So if your going to give your opinions, we all don't have to like them. You wanted us to hire a HS coach. When was the last time that happened in the B1G?

Nukem, I hated the hire at the time, does this mean I am not a fan? Lf has given us very good info for a long time. If want to debate what he says then debate what he says you don't have to go after him personally.

Great job by HC Pikiell. Now let's lock-up Knight and we'll be all set!

C'mon, make it official. The RU staff needs a pair of these...

KNIGHT SHOES [winking]

Nukem. LF's agenda and the reason for his yes, but posts has been that we needed to keep Shoes. Now that Shoes has been kept, he is more optimistic about RU. Landing Knight to go with Young, Rikard and Shoes would make him even more pleased. LF has been more pro SHU over the years, but he is also pro RU.

nukem--there are some naïve people around here--you've got it right--you can go back years and find many more "buts" from him--yes we need more guys who like to slap RU around--it would be understandable if he was just honest and not so backhanded

If this plays out, this is an incredible staff:

Head Coach -- Pikiell
1st Asst./Associate Head Coach -- Hobbs
2nd Asst. -- Knight
3rd Assistant -- Young
Special Advisor -- Shoes
Special Advisor -- Rickard
DOBO -- Dougher

Wow.

Probably accurate. You may see some different terminology. Shoes may get a "Special Assistant or Director of Recruiting" title. Also, I think Rickard has seniority so he may get the DOBO title. While Dougher may be a "Director of Player Development" role.

I can never remember in over 30-years of following RU sports any coach in any sport making every move I was praying for come to fruition. Also heard they are going to be breaking ground for the practice facility this summer.

Things look very, very bright in hoopsland.

Speaking from ignorance not to be a pain in the assss. Can you lay out the significance of these two moves? Thanks.
