TNET: Brownell concerned another COVID pause will stop Tigers' momentum


Feb 15, 2021, 3:20 PM

 
Brownell concerned another COVID pause will stop Tigers' momentum

The Clemson basketball team was hit with COVID pause in early January and it wound up almost derailing the season. The Tigers once again have had to put things on hold, but head coach Brad Brownell hopes his team understands better how to handle the pause this time around. Full Story »

Why would you put that negative thought into the heads of your team?

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.


From reading his comments...the headline is a little...

Thankfully, I had already read the quotes from Brownell and knew that there was nothing to worry about.

Brad would have to stick his foot in his mouth multiple times before approaching Dabo's level of cringe-worthy statements.

Not the point. I never condoned taking cheap shots at the basketball program. I don't think Clemson fans should take cheap shots of any athletic program.

My question is, how could a team member jeopardize the team season by going out somewhere unprotected and bring it back around the guys who trusted their teammates to do the right thing. I would bet that the infected player got it from a girlfriend, or somebody who don't give a crap about basketball!!!

I’d rather have a coach be positive than have any negative comments even to the media which players can find.
Michigan missed 23 days of practice and games on pause and came back the first game and beat a good Wisconsin team on Sunday. Juan Howard, I’m sure was all positive and kept his team focused.

What did Brad say that was so negative and repulsive?


Feb 15, 2021, 8:14 PM

Of course he is concerned by how the COVID pause might impact our team. Any coach should be, and it's perfectly fine to point it out.

their masks and suggested that they are part of the reason why we have COVID on the team.

Rather than whining about it and being critical, you could've just kept quiet. Or better yet, how about expressing some concern over those affected by COVID this time around and wishing them a full recovery?

I missed your post during football season criticizing our football coaches in how they wear their masks. If I missed it, please link it here so I'll know you aren't a hypocrite.

If wannabe BB coaches want to act like they are as cool as the football coaches and not wear their masks correctly, they’ve got A LOT of cred they need to earn.

But we covered this all a while back. Anyone trying to compare Brownell’s to Dabo’s head coaching ability in any fashion is an idiot. That includes immediately making knee-jerk whataboutism posts pointing to what the football program does whenever the basketball program is appropriately criticized for cause.

Wearing a mask just below the nose when socially distanced


Feb 15, 2021, 5:18 PM

is different from wearing it below the chin when in close contact with someone else.

People on here find one picture with Brownell not wearing his mask perfectly, and criticism ensues. Never mind the fact that he and his staff wear their masks properly 99.9% of the time. No sir, facts don't matter when we're going out of our way to criticize the basketball program.

The double standard here is ridiculous. Our football coaches wore their masks horribly all year, and we had cases of COVID on our team that hurt our season (e.g., Trevor Lawrence missing games), and I don't recall anyone here criticizing them for not wearing their masks properly or blaming them for players getting COVID.

Childish posters commenting about Brad not wearing his mask right, and suggesting that it's his fault that someone has COVID, is a low blow.

Quit drinking the kool-aid. Masks don’t work for multi-micrometer sized viruses. If I can feel my breath through a mask, then it ain’t working. Period. Common sense.
Social distancing is the only thing that does. Amazing how stupid our general population is that’s bought into it all. Blind sheep.
You don’t want the virus, then stay home or shut down the whole world for 2 months. I mean, THE WHOLE WORLD. Mandatory stay at home!!! If not, then open up everything and let people flourish just like we always did in the past with these “pandemics”.
How stupid of an idea to think that spacing out a team’s players on the bench during a game will prevent the spread, but for 2 hours they’re rubbing up and exchanging sweat with the other team???? Then after the game they’re jumping and hugging on one another. lol....
It’s all for show and masks, etc don’t do s—t! That is all.

Judge - why do you continue to take shots at the football

team and Dabo.

What is up with that? I have read a number of your posts that attack or super critical of the team. So what is the issue?
In the past few months. You:
Took shots at some players during the football season and I believe you called them d- bags.
You complain about what Dabo says (or gets asked) and he responds.
You complain that the football team has been blown out.
Complain about the resources and press coverage of the team.
Now you complain about and post photos regarding masks.

You have made it clear you appreciate, support, and believe in CBB. No problem. Some people do, some would like to see a change.
What does that have to do with football and why you take shots?
So what is your end game?

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Have you noticed the double standard here?


Feb 15, 2021, 8:23 PM

Pointing out anything less than stellar about Clemson football = "taking shots at the football team"

Saying critical, insulting, and nasty things about Clemson basketball = "not settling for mediocrity"

That's the attitude around here. It's B.S. and you know it.

Skalski acted like a dewshbag in my opinion during the playoffs. He has been kicked out of multiple games due to his conduct. If a basketball player did far less, such as committing a flagrant foul and acting like a punk, fans here would be calling him all kinds of names and saying that Brownell doesn't have control of the team. I can guarantee that.

I love Dabo, but he shouldn't have made such a big deal about ranking Ohio State 11th. That was stupid in my opinion. He also said too much about some political topics last summer and fall. You've read the articles in national news criticizing him for it. I love how honest and outspoken Dabo is, and it generally works to his (and our) favor. But there have been times when he said too much. Why can't that be pointed out? Again, look at the double standard. Questioning Dabo or disagreeing with Dabo is "taking shots" at him, yet multiple people today have dissected Brownell's comments about the COVID test and even how he wears his mask, and nobody seems to have a problem with it.

The football team has been blown out, two years in a row in the playoffs. I haven't complained about it, other than to point out the reality of it. Hopefully our coaches will get it fixed. I've stated before that I believe we have one of the best coaching staffs in football, if not the best, and I have faith that they will figure it out.

My issue with press coverage of our basketball team started when we played at Georgia Tech earlier this year and there was one media member present for the post-game interview. And it was Phil Kornblut. Since media don't even have to be present in the arena for these press conferences these days, how hard would it have been for a handful of Clemson media to log into Zoom from their house to participate? I know it's not Clemson football, and I'm okay with that, but an ACC basketball program should at least have some media members show up to a press conference.

I didn't complain about masks, Rocky did. Please get your facts straight.

I love our football program and am very proud of it. But if we put the program, its coaches, and its players on such a pedestal that nothing less than uncompromised praise can be said about it/them, then something is very wrong with that.

Our differences


Feb 15, 2021, 8:58 PM

First. I would never ever call a Clemson player a d-bag. just not my place. I guess you could find some reason outside of any normal issue - but it would have to be really bad, and even then, I might not. I don’t agree with your premise on Skalski and why he got ejected. Being called for targeting does not qualify for D- bag status in my world.

Second. I don’t generally compare one sport to another. If I am critical of basketball, I speak about basketball. Aka, not having an inside game, etc. same with football, if I think they should pass more to the tight end, I say so. What I don’t agree with it to try and elevate one sport by pointing out something about another sport.

Third and maybe where your issue lies, is that winning allows certain privileges. If basketball was in the dance most years and the football team was .500 year after year - then the basketball would get a pass and the football coach would not. Aka, Bowden. (Although his overall record would be stronger). Fans have been pretty patient with basketball if you ask me. 11 years to build something is a long time in most people’s minds. Regardless of how nice, or technical, a coach is. Sometimes, a change of coach is needed, but at the end of the day , the coach does not matter, the results do. Continued progress, not a one time flash.

IMO, you are arguing about what words mean, aka, mediocre. Who cares? That is an individual’s choice. 11 years and having limited success while the football team is constantly top 4 - drives some of the comments.

It’s so obvious half the people that post hating on or coach have no clue about Clemson Basketball history anyway. Cliff Ellis and Brownell are more similar than people will admit. Clemson in my lifetime hasn’t seen the elite eight but sweet sixteen, six times. OP had far and away best looking program out of Barnes, Shiytt, Ellis, or Brownell to this point but at what extent? He never was able to win anything in the tournament of 64 at all. Yeah we made 1 ACC championship with him which was unbelievably great but we lost. Barnes two sweet sixteens, same with Cliff Ellis. Let’s forget that Shyitt show, but Clemson has no golden era in basketball to go well what are we comparing greatness in our program to? At least not in my lifetime, so to see you fake wanting something we’ve never seen fans act like we could just do so much better. Please. Brad hasn’t won as fast of the rip as OP or RB but he’s accomplished more than both in every way with out the talent and if that don’t tell you he’s a coach worthy to stick with them y’all are unrealistic anyway. If he gets another run in the tournament this year his recruiting is growing more and more. With the talent I wouldn’t want a more deserving coach than Brad and that’s real talk. Hate all u want but he’s constantly winning in conference every year and 6 or 7 with a 4 sprinkled in is about par for last 45 years. Where the hell y’all get otherwise is what gets me when and where was it?
