So here is yet another assistant basketball coach we lost to a power 5 program.


Apr 16, 2022, 10:14 AM

The trend continues:

-Hire a guy from a small program
-Pay him more than he was making but less than most other power 5 schools pay their assistants
-Teach him and groom him for more responsibility
-Lose assistant to a power 5 school who pays him more

When are we hiring a coach from a power 5 program? When will we stop being a stepping stone program for assistants?

Woe is me, we don’t support our assistant coaches etc. in the rest of the world, people like to move around, gain a variety or experiences etc. they work with someone, learn what they can, and then move on to another situation where they can learn more, etc. But the only way to explain it is that he’s underpaid at Clemson. Most assistant coaches are stepping stones. Believe it or not often assistants want to be head coaches some day.

You're caught in your contradictions again.


Apr 16, 2022, 11:48 AM [ in reply to So here is yet another assistant basketball coach we lost to a power 5 program. ]

You previously said we don't win enough because we didn't pay enough to have good assistants.

Now you say we have good assistants but they leave because we don't pay them enough.

If they were so good, and Brad is a good head coach and leader, THEN WHY DIDN’T WE MAKE ANY TOURNAMENT THIS YEAR?

I'll tell you why. Because a team is a reflection of the head coach and his coaching style and leadership. The head coach has two top-40 finishes in 12 years, yet he's paid the 38th highest salary in America? That makes no sense at all.

Brad has had EVERYTHING he needs to make tournaments. It's not the assistants, the players, the facilities, the administration, or the fans. It's the head coach.

Again, I like Brad and wish he would have succeeded. He hasn't.

We all know you won't address you talking out both sides of your mouth, but it's perfectly obvious you are.

I want Brad to succeed, but based on 12 years of data one has to deduce it will be another frustrating season in 2022/23. The neat thing about that is you'll disappear once things start to go astray just like you did the past sea9n, and then if Brad is finally let go you'll disappear for good with him.

Your desire for Brad to succeed exceeds your desire for Clemson to succeed. We may never know what your personal tie to Brad is, but you'll be gone forever this time next year.

Judge, I’d say when we get a new coach at Clemson and up our wins, then get the great salary increases. At a million a piece, you can probably get three pretty good coaches.

our assistant coaches in basketball. They have not contributed to stellar success here, so is losing them a detraction, or a possible improvement with their replacement? It is a conundrum.

Keats barely hung onto his job this year. IMO this move is a bit of a head scratcher as both regimes are one the way out with another subpar year. Maybe he thinks Keats has a better chance of surviving after next year.

Right now Clemson is projected higher than NC State in the ACC next season. Manny Bates was their best player and went to the portal. Also the big guard is testing the NBA draft.They might be predicted last in the ACC next season like this past one unless expect some great returns in the portal.

because our pay is low.

Our assistants are good enough to win more. The buck stops with the head coach.

You have clearly taken a 180 degree turn. You're a fraud, Mrs. Brownell.

Apr 18, 2022, 3:06 PM

Because Clemson is cheap when it comes to paying assistants, we get them from smaller programs.

We develop them as coaches here, because Brad is a very good coach.

Those coaches improve, and other schools hire them away for more money (which we aren't paying them).

Doesn't it bother you that power five programs who aren't as good as us recently are paying more for assistant coaches?

For an assistant only there for one season, and who left for a coach Kevin Keatts more on the hotseat than Brad? He might there for just one season?

Re: Coach


Apr 16, 2022, 1:06 PM

I have held my tongue for the most part, but there is no way that either of these coaches was asked to leave. Dean (along with Earl Grant) was one of the best assistant coaches Brownell has ever had from a standpoint of recruiting and player development, and was someone the players could actually relate to. We were told just last year what a steal Richardson was. For those guys to leave and for Bender (who adds next to nothing aside from being Brownell’s buddy) to be allowed to stay makes no sense.

In addition to IPTAY, I have supported the program through the years by giving to Brownell’s discretionary fund so that the team has access to things like private charters to holiday tournaments, upgrades to locker rooms, etc. I will no longer throw good money after bad when it’s beyond clear that things are NEVER going to be consistently good under this head coach’s watch. The last thing we needed after the disappointment of last season and seeing two of our better players transfer is to lose our only two full-time assistants that are any good and that the players can relate to.

I get Graham Neff being new in his role and wanting to give Brownell one more chance, but hopefully this will teach him that what must be done eventually should have been done immediately.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Please let Neff know that we need to pay our assistants more


Apr 18, 2022, 3:08 PM

I can guarantee you that both Reynolds-Dean and Richardson will be making more at their new stops, despite those programs having less success recently than we have had.

It should make every Clemson basketball fan upset.

Assistant coach pay is an issue at Clemson. We've been over this.

Brad isn't going to come out and say, "Clemson's administration is being cheap and keeping me from recruiting better assistants to Clemson." But he's alluded to this being a problem, and Neff has as well.

But if it makes you feel better to argue this point, then go right ahead.

CBB lied in the press conference?


Apr 18, 2022, 3:30 PM

I don’t think that’s true at all. I think Coach Reynolds-Dean left for reasons other than money, just as CBB indicated. Will he make more at UGA? Maybe. Was money the determining factor for him to leave Clemson. Apparently not.

Not sure why you continue to use Reynolds-Dean as an example of coaches leaving because we don’t pay enough. But if it makes you feel better to argue the point, go right ahead.

This is probably the first time you’ve seen this…


Apr 18, 2022, 3:20 PM [ in reply to Please let Neff know that we need to pay our assistants more ]

but…

I listened to the CBB press conference and CBB said he felt that Antonio Reynolds Dean left because he wanted to be closer to home, help save/resurrect the program and he was close to several of the assistants already there. He seemed to think it had little if anything to do with money when asked... "ahh I don't know, it might have been a little more money but it wasn't, I don't know, you'd have to ask, I don't know exactly why Antonio left but I'm speculating on some of those things obviously we talked about, I think there's is as much a pull to be home, right, I just think that's, and a challenge he was excited about." -CBB

Sounds like money wasn't the issue here. Maybe he got a raise, but it was interesting that CBB seemed to think that wasn't the main factor in this departure.

I'm sure money wasn't the only factor.


Apr 18, 2022, 3:24 PM

But given our pattern of losing assistants to other programs that pay them more, you certainly can't discount that as a strong possibility here.

Brownell literally acknowledged that Reynolds-Dean might be


Apr 18, 2022, 3:28 PM

getting paid more at Georgia, but he doesn't know.

He also said he doesn't know if that was a factor.

That still doesn't change the fact that we don't pay our assistants very well, and are forced to hire them from places like Quinnipiac, UMKC, and Rhode Island. It also doesn't change the fact that we tend to lose assistants to other programs that pay them more.

As I've said before, if this were happening repeatedly for our football program, people here would be losing their ever loving minds. But basketball? Meh, no one cares.
