LOL... this is pretty much what happens every year. After my eyes


Mar 21, 2021, 6:29 PM

tell me all season long that our basketball team is "just OK"... and then I see us predictably flop every single time something meaningful is on the line... Well, then I logon to TigerNet and read about how great we really are. And I actually start to fall for it and believe it, yet again. But then...THEN... I tune into March Madness. And I watch all these well-coached teams that execute crisply on both ends of the floor...

Mid-major, small-major, minor-major, Lee-Majors... doesn't matter, they just look good. And they advance a helluva lot further than we do.

And I smugly realize - Yep, I was right. Yet again.

We've had one really good year under Brownell. Aside from


Mar 21, 2021, 8:10 PM

that, overall, it really has just been "okay". That's putting it perfectly. One really good year out of 11. 2 "good" years, 8 "okay" years or worse. Those are the facts, and all expectations should be based off of that.

Well said. I concur. I truly felt this was team that would turn the corner and make me finally believe in Brad Brownell. We looked so doggone good early in the season. I’m ready to move on and give someone else a crack at running this basketball program.

Perhaps you don’t understand how college basketball works?

Right on cue, the “ you don’t understand basketball” guy. It’s really not that hard to understand that o score you have to put the ball through the basket, and Brownlee’s teams can’t seem to do that very well, he runs an offense that requires shooters and has none, it’s insanity

5th place finish and a trip to the dance says you are either being obtuse or truly don’t understand

that 5th place finish is absolutely nothing to be proud of.

I for one am glad you are stopping. You are one of the most ignorant posters ever. You obviously think very highly of your own opinion, unlike the rest of us - RockHillTiger

I can’t even imagine the pain that would bring - I don’t lose sleep over clemson basketball.

We performed really well in the regular season had had a really poor showing in post season play.

It’s really an argument of fire brownell now or give him another season and see where we are at. There has been a ton of improvement since the facility upgrades. I don’t see why we fire him now when his best 2 recruiting classes will be sophomores and juniors next year. Coaching wasn’t the issue in the post season IMO. We didn’t make the open shots we needed to win the last 2 games.

I can tell you’ve been buying what Brad sells after every loss.

Hmmm. Do you think there is any chance our opponents do scouting reports, and the reason we get open for certain shots is because we are not good at those shots?
And with that considered, maybe we could run an offense that creates shots that we can actually make consistently?
I believe that is called... coaching.

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.
