How does he plan on jump-starting our recruiting to the next level apart from relying on transfers? Also, is he going to revisit his coaching in the second halves of games and particularly in the last 8 minutes to make more intelligent game management decisions? And thus prevent him from being out-coached time and time again by the opposing coaches?

comparison between Tommy Bowden and Brad Brownell that so many fans are making. Is it a fair comparison? How are the two coaches/situations similar, and what differences would he point to?

Clemson football was a #### show when TB took over. Tommy rebuilt the program, mainly thanks to Rich Rodriguez, but once RR left Tommy had no idea what to do. We were erratic and wildly inconsistent and it was obvious halfway through his third year that Tommy would never get the job done. I was on here saying that halfway through that third season and getting crucified. But of course I was eventually proven right! It was obvious to anyone that knows anything about football that Tommy was never going to win big at Clemson after RR left.
But at least Tommy rebuilt the program. Brad Brownell has been a #### show the entire time he has been here. The sad thing is Brownell has had more to work with than any coach in Clemson history. He has had hands-down the best facilities in Clemson basketball history. And the ACC, despite expansion, has been a shadow of its former self over the last 10 years.
People say Clemson can never be successful in basketball. BS! Miami, Virginia Tech, FSU, others don’t have the history or even the moderate success that we have had in the past. And that was back when the NCAA tournament was less than 64 teams and the ACC was the best conference in basketball.
If Miami, VT, and FSU can have the success they have had since joining the ACC there is absolutely no excuse for Clemson not being able to do that well or better. I don’t expect us to consistently be a top tier program, but there is absolutely no reason that Clemson could not consistently be just behind UNC, duke, and Louisville. There is no reason why Clemson should not be a top five or six programs in the conference year in and year out and every 4 to 5 years put together a good team and finish in the top three. There’s no excuse for Clemson not being in the NCAA tournament every year and getting past the first round!
The only thing keeping Clemson basketball from being successful is the same thing that held Clemson football back under Max and Barker. The Clemson leadership simply has no interest in Clemson being successful in anything other than football. And frankly that wasn’t always the case either. Back in the 80s we cared about a lot of sports. But that all changed when Bobby Robinson became athletic Director and Max Lennon became president. Yes they have certainly done a lot to support women’s sports, which has a lot to do with culture and politics, but they’re not going out of their way to help baseball or basketball or really anything other than football be successful on a national level. We have a great soccer program because we have had some great coaches. And we have really good fan support. But that hasn’t been because of any willingness to be successful or leadership from the board of trustees nor the administration.

Virginia doesn't make the tournament every year. UNC doesn't make it every year. FSU has given their head coach 20 plus years and still don't make it every year. He has some great years, but he also has some down years, like following up a Sweet 16 run with missing the NCAAT.
Let's be somewhat realistic with expectations.

There is absolutely no reason why we could not consistently finish in the top six or eight in the conference and get to the NCAA tourney almost every year. Especially when you look at the current state of ACC basketball.

Brownell's average finish is 7.5. I think the key is getting to that 5th-6th place, which I agree should be attainable, but in order to consistently get there, I think it's up to the AD and BOT to make basketball a priority.
I do disagree that it isn't about money. Clemson doesn't have a large alumni base. I think they don't want to shift too many resources away from football, not to mention softball just started and a couple other sports as well.

I do agree with the end of the statement, by the way. It's up to the administration to decide whether basketball is a priority. I think they are happy with a clean program that graduates its players and plays hard. So long as there isn't a last place finish, they seem content.

Then we should slash funding or eliminate the program
Mar 23, 2022, 10:59 AM
|
|
Any sport we’re not committed to winning at a high-level should be eliminated because otherwise it’s a drain on resources and you’re disrespecting the fans, the alumni and members of IPTAY!
And yes, I’m 100% serious! I’ve been saying this for decades! Our athletic program, as a whole, is a joke compared to other schools in the ACC. And I don’t want anyone to tell me we don’t have the money because it’s not about money after a certain point and football and softball and soccer and to a lesser degree other sports at Clemson have proven that over the years! It’s about a will to win at a high-level and being smart and efficient with how you manage the programs.

After 12 seasons, ask to see the trophy?
As to Bowden, more time would Not have made him a championship coach and 13 won't be the magic # for Brownell. A middle school coach with a 2 point lead with 6.7 seconds with the full court to travel, would have put on a full court press and then foul at half court and make VA Tech (tie) the game at the foul line.
And with one of his better players leaving, do you really think Brownell is going to Significantly Improve???
If Clemson does not want basketball championships then shutdown the program and quit wasting $.

In my opinion, Bowden and Brownell are in no way similar. Brownell hangs out with his players much more than Bowden. Bowden could not be seen with his team during games. He would isolate himself at one end of the field or the other. However, they are both let downs on their winning percentages.

Yes, and if, how far along are we. What are the details. Otherwise, don't let it be a yes or no question. Good question though. Especially what's his vision to compete with a school like Texas that has such large alum money that Clemson does not have.

For Neff: Is there any way to realign the TV camera angles in Littlejohn so that they are facing the respective teams and benches during broadcasts instead of the sad row of blue hairs that comprise that view since the recent renovations?
For Brad: Considering we were on the wrong end of one-score games 6 of 7 times this season, if you could go back and call an end game coaching decision differently from one of those, which game would it be and what would you do differently?

to Neff: Since you (Neff) came from Georgia Tech you were there when Oliver Purnell built a pretty good program at Clemson. Why has Coach Brownell not been judged on sustaining that type of consistent on the court success from when Terry Don Phillips set out to do when he hired Coach Brownell now that there are improved facilities with in the program?
Also,
Do you look at critical coaching decisions late in games and records in those close games as evaluating Coach Brownell's performance at Clemso? Technicals for no timeouts left and 6 men in the court, as well as substitutions decisions late in games as factors for close losses?

6 men on the court happened once and it wasn’t Chris Webber calling a TO to lose an NC. It happens and they owned it. You don’t fire a coach for a single occurrence unless you think we should fire Dabo every time we have a substitution infraction…

the decision to retain Brownell (a decision with which I adamantly disagree) was ultimately not Neff's call.
Similar to when Coach Ford was forced out. Bobby Robinson, who was completely opposed to firing Coach Ford and literally begged Max Lennon to reconsider, since he was the AD, it was his job to deliver the news. However, make no mistake, Max Lennon was pulling the strings.
I think the situation with Coach Brownell is similar. Regardless of what Neff actually thinks, while I'm sure they listened to his thoughts and opinions, the final call on Brownell's future was ultimately not up to Neff and was made by others (i.e., the President and the BOT).

Let’s be honest
Mar 23, 2022, 10:46 AM
[ in reply to I firmly believe... ] |
|
Clemson was at its peak as an athletic department across-the-board during the 80s under the leadership of Atchley, McLellan, and Bennett.
Those three men provided an incredible amount of stability and worked together like a well oiled machine, but unfortunately within a few years they all retired. Things have not been the same since and it wasn’t until Dabo that Clemson fans have had much to be excited about.
Cliff Ellis had a few good years in the late 80s and early 90s, and in my opinion is The most successful basketball coach at Clemson based on the numbers. And of course Jack took us to CWS with arguably the two best baseball teams we have ever had, but his coaching style and personality undermined and sabotaged those teams in Omaha. And sadly we saw the beginnings of what happened to Khalil Greene in those two games against South Carolina. He had more errors in those two games than the entire season. That pressure and stress and how it led to his anxiety I believe manifested at that time. Those two teams clearly choked away the best opportunities we have ever had to win the college World Series and I will go to my grave believing that Jack’s personality and coaching style greatly contributed to those failures. To add insult to injury, it was the coots that we lost to and a few years later South Carolina had two titles!
Despite those two teams Clemson baseball was in a steady decline under Jack. There was no consistency if you actually chart the numbers and look at it objectively. People just don’t want to recognize that because the decline was slow and we had those two great teams, but the numbers don’t lie.
And let’s also be honest and admit what very few people on this forum are willing to admit, which is the powers that be at Clemson hired Dabo because he was cheap. There was no will in the president‘s office or with the BOT to have the type of football program we have today. TDP I think was sincere in what he saw in Dabo, but they were never going to let him hire a big-name coach or spend a lot of money. It is what it is, we got lucky! Dabo turned out to be another Danny! And anyone that says they knew that was gonna happen on this board is a liar. Nobody saw this coming. And I will be the first to admit I was wrong, but everyone was wrong, because Dabo was not hired to create the monster that we now have! Boundless optimism and orange colored glasses doesn’t mean that in hindsight those people were right! They are simply blindly loyal to anything and everything Clemson! Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Unfortunately if Dabo doesn’t make some changes and adjust to the ridiculous Carnival and #### show college football is turning into we may have seen our last national championship! The next two or three years are going to be critical.
And I’m sure I will get all the typical haters hammering away at this post, but frankly I don’t give a ####. History has proven me right repeatedly despite the fact that the far left faction on this board tries to discredit me and call me unhinged. Those are simply ad hominem attacks by people that know they are on the wrong side of history because they are either brainwashed or closeted authoritarian‘s!

What are you looking for in the transfer portal and
Mar 22, 2022, 4:19 PM

how many transfers do you expect to sign? Do you expect Hunter Tyson to return? Are you looking for another point guard in the portal? With the loss of David Collins, Naz Bohannon and Nick Honor, and possibly Hunter Tyson, how do you plan to replace and improve upon their 33 points per game and 18 rebounds per game?

deroberts what would you like to hear unanswered?
He could ask Neff why Caden Grice's BA has dropped and when is Monte going to bench him.

While I can't speak for anybody other than myself ,I hope whenever you get the conversation you can get exactly what needs to happen next season for Brad's contract to be renewed or terminated.
P.S. And that includes any major injuries or the sky falling!

no AD is going to pin that down now. You can ask but it would just show lack of intellect to do it that way

And if they played, what would be a good bet/prize for the winner?

Walk me through the train of thought at the end of the Va Tech game in the ACCT. Al Dawes looked like a deer in headlights and was 3 feet from the shooter when he launched basically an uncontested 3 for the win.

Eliminating all unknowns, how will practice differ from last year? For example, passing the ball in.

Brownell's style of play (boring) and his teams year-after-year tendency to panic in pressure situations have driven many former Tiger supporters away from Basketball.
1) With our fan/alumni base disinterested and attendance dwindling to all-time low levels, what is gained by Brownell's 2022-23 return and can anything short of an Elite 8/Final 4 finish save his job?

Will there be staff evaluations and do you anticipate any changes or additions to the on-court and/or support staff?

Ask the following:
- what we have going on with NIL and what are plans for the future
- any facility upgrades planned for the future? Bistro? Slide? Anything?
- is next year NCAA tourney or bust for brownell?
- what is neff's vision 5 years from now? 10 years from now?
- what are brownell's expectations for Dawes next year now that honor is gone?
- what are expectations out of his incoming freshman year one? Which one do you think can make the biggest impact?
- why did josh Beadle redshirt? Do you expect him to be a contributor next year?

How do measure your success rate in comparison to where you wish to achieve? BC Coach K retired, Roy has been gone, etc. I am trying to work the comps and no successful for ACC Championship avg found.

For Brownell, what has been the biggest challenge to building a consistent NCAAT team over the last 12 years, we made it the previous 3 years before you got here and then your first year here.
Then listen to whatever he says and have a good “why” or “how” follow up…. Going to need to really listen to the answer and come up with a quick follow up to get an honest answer.
For Neff, what is your vision of our basketball program? (Listen then follow up with) How do we get there? (Then listen some more and have a short quick follow up that’s appropriate, a how, why, who gets us there, what is the time line, etc)

Folks, beyond providing support resources for players to market themselves, what other aspect do you think the coach or admin can actually answer about NIL? Isn’t the facility that’s being developed at the football facility available to all athletes?

Here's a softball for Brownell,
We've heard about issues defending bigger guards/wings for a couple of years now. After looking at recent recruiting classes and transfer targets, has been it a point of emphasis to recruit and develop size and versatility at those positions.

How many years do you need at the helm to build a consistent program of sucess
Mar 22, 2022, 6:01 PM

Obviously 12 years had not been enough time to build a successful program so just curious the amount of time we can expect it to take.

For Brownell,
Coach, you've been coaching at the level for a while. What are your thoughts on the flurry of changes in the past couple of years with NIL, unrestricted transfers in the portal, and others? Do you have any suggestions to make the system better?

Question on recruiting and coach style
Mar 22, 2022, 10:48 PM
|
|
Clemson has suffered in recruiting with many stars just being more from transfer portal that also come and go. We have also changed recruiting directors multiple times. Do you believe that the philosophies of your coaching are attractive to recruits in 2022 and beyond. If you are not big on defense, you will not play much at Clemson. We do not appear to be a team for todays basketball or future as much of our team or coaching philosophies do not match the bball kid of today. Can more emphasis on resources, support coaches, NiL money really change us that much as many teams in tourney have much less and we are still struggling to get out of ACC cellar. Previously we did this with naming more Assoc Head Coaches and other positions, major update to facilities but it did not work before.

Neff: (1) What are your overall first-year goals for the athletic department?
(2) Where do we stand with NIL? How is that moving forward?
Brownell: You said that improvement was needed in recruiting. What are your plans to improve that process?

Non basketball but could you ask Neff about plans to have a volleyball facility that meets industry standards? Since 1998 this issue has been discussed with every AD. We could be nationally competitive with SC talent that goes elsewhere because of our facility. Could he consider conducting national search for coach? Thank you.

Coaching and Recruiting Philosophy
Mar 23, 2022, 8:44 PM
|
|
CBB: In the past 12 years, you've yet to implement an offense - you've had the most boring and inefficient half court offense, no matter what skill set your players have. Since you can't recruit very well, why don't you implement a offense that encourages passing, screens, backdoors or cutters so that the limited talent you have can help each other to get more high percentage shots closer to the basket. TEACH THESE GUYS FUNDAMENTAL BASKETBALL

For Neff:
After 12 years and with limited success - clearly knowing the strengths and weaknesses of CBB - what makes you believe that he can make the basketball team consistently competitive?
For BB:
After 12 years, with limited success - specifically what will you do differently to break away from being in the bottom half of the ACC and get Clemson to the dance every2 out of 3 years?
