I questioned Pike’s strange substitutions (a recurring theme over the years)at one point last night. It worked in one sense as our starters (plus Hyatt) won going away as they were fresh. But I did have an issue with Cliff going out so early in the first half- he was dominating and we bring in Woolfolk?
Also, while Pike might have been sending Simpson a message, Miller was a minus on the floor last night. We know he does nothing offensively and he is overrated defensively- and bringing him in at the end of the half when he’s not even warm?
In the end, it’s all moot because we won and won handily. I am very happy. Other than the substitutions at times, Pike coached a great game.
