How come Coach Bender doesn't get an offer?


Apr 18, 2022, 8:59 AM

To be an assistant somewhere else?

Assistants often reach out to other schools if they are interested

in making a move.

Bender likes Clemson and works well with Brad. He actually coached Brad at DePauw so they go way back.

It’s silly that you assume that Bender wouldn’t be a candidate at other schools, simply because you haven’t read an article or seen a tweet about other schools coming after him.

How much did you hear about other schools’ interest in Reynolds-Dean or Richardson before their hires at other schools were announced? Answer: zero.

I know you just try to stir up drama here, but surely you can recognize that Brad is doing something right to have so many of his assistants leave for head coaching jobs or assistant jobs at other power 5 programs. It says a lot about his reputation in the coaching industry.

Also Judge read this:

Looks like Clemson starting to get higher up ranked standings in spending.

If you go to the link just put in compare with other schools tab toward the bottom right. You would put in total operating expenses for basketball for 20-21. The fact that during a covid year that Clemson is ranked 37 is saying something. Now it less than the 19-20 year but Clemson climbed from ranked 43 to 35. And look at those schools that are considered having more basketball success than Clemson. Memphis, Purdue, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Kansas State, UNLV. These are schools that havae gone to Final Fours and won Nattys.


A lot of schools also dropped more than Clemson for the Covid year. Schools more known for basketball in the ACC, SEC and nationally.
The fact that Clemson didn't drop as much shows it was important to hold firm on spending money even it had to cut some due to Covid.
I expect these figures to even climb even more for Clemson in 21-22. Brad no longer as the excuse and need to start putting up post season success to what the rankings show.

Re: Assistants often reach out to other schools if they are interested


Apr 18, 2022, 9:37 AM

How many times can you post the same thing? Neff has stated that spending on basketball is going to go up. There were other things mentioned like nutritional facilities like the Paw Bistro for football and enhancing Swann Pavilion. At the end of the day, Neff and Brownell are removing any excuses as it pertains to winning. You should be happy about this. If Brownell is the coach you think he is, Clemson will have a new basketball coach possibly as early as next year.

ACCT champion. It means VT got hot and won a tournament that has no relation to the season or NCAAT. Would you rather be North Carolina or VT?

Oh please. They were ACC champs and got automatic bid to NCAAT.

The regular season championship is a big accomplishment, but that was not UNC.
UNC just got hot at tournament time as well.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes, they got the automatic bid.


Apr 18, 2022, 10:29 AM

I know that UNC wasn't the ACC champ. Would you rather be VT or Duke this year? VT or Miami?

Regular season title is a much greater accomplishment than winning a tournament that has no relation to the season you just completed. I would do away with conference tournaments. The automatic bid means there is too much emphasis on the conference tournament.

UNC didn't just get hot at the tournament. They started clicking around early February and rode that through the tournament. Based on recruiting rankings, I believe they had more 4* and 5* players than any team in the ACC.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

My point was simply that Clemson spent more $ than VT

Apr 18, 2022, 10:45 AM

and VT won the ACC championship (which they did).

I know the regular season title means a lot. That’s why I say that Clemson does indeed have an ACC title in our history.

But are you saying that a national championship would be meaningless? Because you could just get hot in March and April and win that…regardless of how you did in the regular season?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Maybe not meaningless . . .


Apr 18, 2022, 10:51 AM

I don't know that meaningless is the right word, but I think the NCAAT is about the worst way to determine a champion. Conference tournaments, to me, are meaningless. I think basketball needs to adopt something similar to baseball, but it will never happen. There's too much money mainly because it captures the hardcore, casual, and non-existent during the regular season fan.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You'd THINK - since we spend the same amount as this


Apr 19, 2022, 10:22 AM [ in reply to My point was simply that Clemson spent more $ than VT ]

year's ACC Champion - that, just like them, we'd be able to catch a lucky flyer or "GET HOT" ONCE in TWELVE YEARS and maybe, MAYBE do something other than crap the court. CAN'T be that we have LOUSY coaching - HAS to be something else.

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.


Any of the above would be better than what we did...


Apr 20, 2022, 12:41 AM [ in reply to Yes, they got the automatic bid. ]

VT has done something we NEVER have in the ACC so yeah...I'd be fine with being them.

Re: Assistants often reach out to other schools if they are interested


Apr 18, 2022, 1:54 PM [ in reply to Re: Assistants often reach out to other schools if they are interested ]

Must be difficult to keep spending up for basketball when:

1. Income still down from COVID
2. Low annual payouts from the ACC
3. The basketball team does not make ANY postseason tournament
4. Most importantly, the cash cow (football) misses the CFP.

Basketball needs to contribute to it's own finances by making the NCAA tournament.

Bender did leave / Earl Grant, when Grant went to CofC- several years back. Bender returned to
Clemson a year or more before Grant was hired at BC.
Brad has got to find a 'recruiting dynamo' to help lure some prime-time recruits to Clemson. PJ should help lure 1 or 2, as he is going to be a standout in ACC and college hoops.

In my opinion, Bender is the biggest liability on our coaching staff. Doesn't recruit well and doesn't particularly relate to players all that well. I'll never understand why he continues to be retained, unless Brad owes him some kind of personal favor or something.

So, by this logic, when Cleveland State immediately offered Shyatt a job that meant we were wrong and he's actually a great coach. You guys bend yourselves into pretzels trying to defend Brownell. They're a Division III school. I imagine just about any Power 5 assistant could be a D3 head coach. Most aren't interested because they get paid significantly better as D1 assistants.

Nctigs has commented multiple times about how good ole d!ck bender never gets contacted for jobs. And he created this thread about how he doesn't get any offers to be assistants at other schools. I know for a fact that none of this is true.

I do not believe the fact that he might leave for a head coaching gig changes his coaching status or talent.

If you’re being remotely serious I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with someone who can’t place anything within context. First, you literally put adjectives in my mouth about Brownell and Purnell. You suggest that because I have so much as posted in a thread about them that I most hold that position (making sure we’re clear about made up arguments). Then turn around and act all indignant that I might perceive you taking a victory lap over #### Bender getting considered for a job as an indication that you’re rebutting NCTigs digs at his coaching ability. You were only calling nctigs out for being factually inaccurate about the one thing. Of course with this indigence you’re validating NCTigs original point but okay. Summation: nctigs wrong about #### Bender getting job offers, nctigs right about #### Bender being a bad coach. Glad we could straighten that out.

Nc tigs was wrong. I said nc tigs was wrong. Nc tigs admitted he was wrong on this very thread.

And you are belligerently arguing with basically nobody. I didn't realize you had such a hard on for nc tigs. I will keep that in mind in the future. I really don't want to hurt your feelings.
