If the NCAA Tournament is canceled this year
Mar 10, 2020, 2:04 PM
|
|
what percentage of the regular posters here will use it to further criticize our program's lack of NCAA Tournament appearances under Brownell?
I'm guessing at least 50%.

Technically you would be correct here.
As the reigning World Champions, we will continue to hold hour position on top until another team has been crowned.
If a national championship tournament was completed with someone else as the champion, then we would lose our throne.
The same can be said if another world championship tournament is held without us as the victor.
If no tournaments are held*, we maintain our reign.
*Conference tournaments have no bearing as they get held all the time and apparently don't matter for anything because those winners rarely ever get crowned national champion.*
P.S. I intend to have t shirts made in orange and purple with "Maintain the Reign" printed on the front with a large Tiger paw in the background and Brownell's face printed on the back. Clemson basketball will be written in tiny letters somewhere on the shirt (it's not important). This idea is dependent upon the NCAA tournament being cancelled. Phrase has already been copy-written so don't get any bright ideas fellas (or ladies)!

No one is criticizing "The Program"
Mar 10, 2020, 2:08 PM
|

They are criticizing the coach. Please do not be confused.
And the coach has not put us in position to make the NCAA's whether or not they are played.

what does cancelling a tournament we're not in have to do
Mar 10, 2020, 2:12 PM
|
|
with anything. Nice try, but there is no correlation between both. What criticism could you even offer? Brownell couldnt even make a cancelled tournament? Am I missing something.

This is the NCAA's big moneymaker which they rule w an iron fist. It isnt going to be canceled. It may be played in empty arenas if there is some legislative action or we may grow a pair and continue as usual

More likely you’ll argue Brownell would have made the tournament had it not been canceled.

Mar 10, 2020, 2:20 PM

as an excuse for not making the tournament? That’s rich.

But I fail to see what point you are trying to make. Were we in the position to be in the tournament then certainly it being hypothetically cancelled wouldn't be a fodder for valid criticism of Brownell.
However, that simply isn't the case, so I fail to see your point.

Your argument would hold water if we were making the hypothetically cancelled tournament, and folks used it's being cancelled against him.
That isn't happening, so your logic fails to hold.
Now then if: 1) We win the ACC tournament. 2) The NCAA tournament is cancelled. 3) Folks use us not playing in the NCAA tournament in an argument against Brownell
*THEN* your argument would hold water.
But that critical step #1 hasn't happened yet.

I think most people will be more disappointed in the NCAAT

being cancelled than Clemson not being in it. Probably complain about that more. As much as I hate to say this, I'm kind of used to Clemson not being in it. It is a lot more fun when Clemson fielded a team that was competitive and had a chance to get past the second round.

The full court pass to Simms who tipped it to Mack?

I thought it was pretty brilliant with less than 3 seconds left or whatever the time was.

I don't think there's any way that Mack ran the play
Mar 10, 2020, 3:24 PM
|
|
that was drawn up. I'm guessing something went wrong on the inbound pass, forcing a pass to Mack in the corner, then he dribbled up higher, called off a screen, didn't look for any movement towards the basket or attempt to pass the ball and threw up a contested shot. No way that was the play.

JK, you know I agree with you extremely often. Many fans are as melodramatic as middle school girls after a loss.
But you're stirring a pot that could realllllllly stink by this time tomorrow.
Even the cynical fans should have had no reason to think that our good play would be over and done for the year after Dawes' last-second lay-up vs FSU.
But two winnable losses later, we need to come up with the energy to stop Miami or many of us are going to feel like this season was a net negative, in spite of all the good things these kids accomplished.
I don't care about Thursday. If we win tomorrow I can feel positive about the year. But if we lose tomorrow, for whatever reason, we deserve to be considered a bottom-tier team in the ACC.
