That’s exactly how I thought the hoops program thinks of Hobbs.
Man. Pike just gets it. I will say to anyone wondering or who hasn't had the opportunity to talk to Pike. He spoke to some Rutgers organizations the past few years and asked for their support of basketball and the team and this is him. This isn't some scripted thing where he says all this as toeing the company line. He truly believes everything he said and his players buy into it and you gotta love that.
Steve should not be commenting beyond general support for his boss
DO NOT PAY NO MIND TO THE DUMPSTER FIRE THAT IS THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM THAT PAT HOBBS CREATED.....stay out of it Steve

yeah I get it Hobbs got the basketball program stuff but Sunday afternoon he killed football and for that he needs to be held accountable.
A big mistake by Steve. Before opening mouth, focus on producing a winning team. He is a great guy and has made a lot of friends. This is not his issue. Finish higher in the league and improve recruiting before getting into non-basketball issues. Hopefully, we all support freedom of speech. But, use your head. Coach needs to learn to not being drawn into toxic situations by the media.
he can say whatever he wants but by doing that he is opening himself up to criticism and spotlight that has nothing to do with his basketball team.
Who asked the question? I'm not exactly sure what they expected Pike to say. Even if he hated Hobbs, he'd say good things about him. Though the passion in his response shows he thinks very highly of Hobbs.
Head coach sticking up for his AD who did well by him. I don’t like how Pat has handled football but I got no problem with what Pike said.
bac--you are a sick guy if you can't see the sincerity of Pike and his respect for R U-- we are lucky he's here --really, your personal hate makes you blind and that from a guy who supposedly is a basketball first person--you have no tolerance for Pike's sincere feelings and that's troubling
So all the board bozos can spew and vent but the Head Basketball Coach and players shouldn’t express their support and loyalty?
Good for Pike. He is a very honest & straight guy. Not at all afraid to put it on the record. He's right on re: Hobbs, who has accomplished so much that is positive for RU athletics.
Well, he convinced me. Let’s give Pat a chance to hire a football coach. We really don’t have a choice, do we? If he can somehow get GS back to the table and reach a deal, I agree he will go down as one of our best ADs. Or if he finds someone else that can recruit recruit recruit, same thing.
I said it up further, but Pike just has something about him that makes you listen. he's not a big, high energy personality. But the passion and sincerity always seems to come through and, for me at least, that is much more important.
Well stated Steve. His joy and pride of being at RU is genuine.
Yes, he answered a question, stayed
Positive and gave a terrific endorcement. Said nothing wrong.
If someone really liked Pike before, and is changing their opinion of him over his comments in support of Hobbs.... that says more about that person than about Pike, imo.
I hope to god not, I wasn't there but I assume something happened. I read somewhere that Schiano chants happened but unsure anything else. We as RU fans are mentally weak so I would expect them to chant none the less
