No agenda just numbers

Mar 6, 2023, 8:26 AM

This year we won 70% of our conference games versus 38.6% lifetime in ACC and 50.8% of all games in ur hoops history. I threw out our one tie from over 100 years ago. Not sure why or how you would have a tie

I don't have an agenda either but here's some more numbers.

Since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 our Tigers have only made 12 of 38 tournaments. If you take out the Shyatt/Brown-L years our Tigers have made 9 of 21.

Clemson doesn't care about basketball....as evidenced by Brown-L getting 14 years.

If you had to get in like the old days we would still be waiting. Our hoops history is not good. It has been better recently.

I get annoyed when people here act like CBB wrecked our Lamborghini. He has done pretty well with the used 20 year old Jeep we gave him and manages to get some occasional good results with it. We have been a lower tier ACC program. This is probably our first 2 game bye. Lets enjoy what good we get when we get it.

I’d like to get back to making the tourney (a proper field of 64 invite) 1/2 the time rather than less than 20% of the time. If he inherited a Jeep he’s rolled it more than a few times and you’re congratulating him for getting it to start again.

Any defense of Brownell is devoid of context. What Purnell didn’t do is irrelevant. The point is that Clemson can, with a decent coach, be consistent. Barnes proved it. Purnell proved it. Brownell in 13 seasons hasn’t. Winning no games in the tourney isn’t the goal. Winning 2 games isn’t the goal. Winning ACC championships and NCAA championships should be the goal. Purnell appeared to hit a ceiling. Instead of finding a coach with a higher ceiling we found one that has a lower ceiling. If you want to give some outsized credit to winning two games in the tourney - once - then go ahead. Purnell made a ACC tourney final. Now we’re even. The defense of Brownell is a defense of Clemson being perpetually satisfied with just okay. Any improvement in the second half of his tenure has to be controlled for changes in the schedule rotation. Statistically, the last two seasons are the easiest strength of schedule (this year dramatically the worst) Brownell has faced in the last decade. Net result - fails to even make the the NIT and relying on the ACC tourney to try and snag a “First Four”. Such profound progress.

Further, we constantly hear that we shouldn’t dare make a change because good coaches always leave us. But Brownell has never strung anything good enough together to be any threat to leave. We have no idea if he’d actually be loyal if he was in any kind of demand. Since it appears to be the new t-net word of the month: stop being a “cuck” for Brownell.

When have we ever made the tournament 50% of the time? Or even 20% of the time?

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a good basketball program. If NCAA tournament invitations is the indicator of a good basketball program, we've not been very good.

Excluding Larry Shyatt’s tenure, Clemson is 9-21 in making the NCAA tournament (43%). If you exclude Purnell’s first three seasons, which were all a clear upward trajectory from the crap show he inherited, that would make us 9-18 (50%). Even 43% is a marked improvement from Brownell. If you don’t like manipulating the numbers then look at facts as they are. Purnell pulled us out of a tail spin and had us in the NIT in one season. The “he didn’t win a game in the NCAA” is a giant red herring. He took a broken team to three straight NITs and three straight NCAAs. Built a team that would win 20+ 5 straight years and make 4 straight tourneys. This is Brownell’s 5th 20 win team in 13 years and he’s never strung more than two together. And, based on his results at DePaul, we know Purnell isn’t some otherworldly great coach. We should have moved up the coaching ladder and we moved way down.

In the history of Clemson basketball, when has Clemson made the tournament every other year?

People think OP was awesome and had Clemson really playing great. No.
He gamed the systems well. He played weak out of conference preseason games, then basically played .500 ball in ACC conference games.

He had one good year in ACC tournament and never one an NCAA game. Ever. Sure he made it 3x in a row. Wahoo. But we were a one trick pony (pressure full court D and could not shoot FTs). When it worked it could work well, but it did not work when your team was above average.

The Tigers have reached the NCAA tournament 13 times in the modern era (1980, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021) since the tournament expansion in 1980, advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 four times (1980, 1990, 1997, 2018), with their best performance reaching the Elite Eight once.

I seriously don't know what's wrong with some of you people. Purnell was a great coach, and his last three seasons we were one of the four best teams in the ACC, and he made the ACC tournament final. Just because you didn't like him, doesn't mean he wasn't a great coach.

A more or less apt analogy. I'm happy to give him credit for mostly keeping it between the rails.

But the time when he drives it off the side of a cliff have added so many dents that won't buff out. I'd rather not let him keep driving it if there's a decent chance that we could get someone who will keep it on the road and moving uphill to the summit instead of just circling around and around and around and barely getting any higher. Or maybe going partway up the hill one year only to slide back down the next.

Give Purnell credit for having to rebuild after Shyatt and what you have - between Ellis, Barnes, and Purnell - is that good coaches can get us to the tourney 50% of the time and without sweating on Selection Sunday. Let’s remember that Brownell has only been selected to the field of 64 twice. His predecessors did not have the privilege of an “First Four”. We will likely be in the play-in game once again if we make it at all this year.

Purnell never did win an NCAAT game, but he got to the postseason regularly. He faded into obscurity pretty quickly after leaving Clemson, but he did rebuild quickly after Shyatt. And in 2008 he had Clemson playing in the ACCT Championship game.

So for Purnell it is the Post Season.
Got it.
I thought all of Clemson expects NCAA Tournament every other year like orginal poster.

OP made it to the NCAAs his last 3 seasons at Clemson. Then he bolted. He did not leave much for a team. The players he left did make the NCAAs with BB in year one. Play in game. BUt did make it.

Remember that team loaded with elite players of:

Number Name Position Height Weight Year Hometown
2 Demontez Stitt Guard 6–2 180 Senior Matthews, North Carolina
3 Zavier Anderson Guard 5–9 170 Senior Greenville, South Carolina
4 Jonah Baize Forward 6–6 195 Senior Evansville, Indiana
5 Tanner Smith Guard 6–5 210 Junior Alpharetta, Georgia
10 Catalin Baciu Center 7–2 255 Junior Cluj-Napoca, Romania
11 Andre Young Guard 5–9 175 Junior Albany, Georgia
12 Cory Stanton Guard 5–10 175 Freshman Springfield, Tennessee
21 Bryan Narcisse Forward 6–6 220 Junior North Augusta, South Carolina
24 Milton Jennings Forward 6–9 225 Sophomore Summerville, South Carolina
31 Devin Booker Forward/Center 6–8 245 Sophomore Whitmire, South Carolina
44 DeAndre Hopkins Guard 6–2 205 Freshman Central, South Carolina
45 Jerai Grant Forward/Center 6–8 230 Senior Bowie, Maryland

Where were the elite players? One poster a few days ago said the BB had Purnell's players, a team of elite players.
Nope. Not true.

Re: No agenda just numbers


Mar 7, 2023, 3:10 PM

Don't read too much into my comment. I was only making a point that OP did MAKE it to the NCAAT but never won any games; OTOH for the people who lament that OP is not still the coach, his career went steadily downhill after bolting. Plus, he bolted. I'm not saying I wanted OP to come back or anything.

However, when looking for positives, OP made the postseason 6 out of 7 years and NCAAT 3 years running. And year 1 was dealing with Shyatt's players. CBB has made NCAAT 3 times in 13 years, nonconsecutive (and year 1 with OPs players), and NIT 3 times in 13 years (nonconsecutive), so postseason 6 out of 13 years.

I don't expect a Clemson head basketball coach to make NCAAT every year, but I do expect more than 3 times in 13 years (50% would be nice though), and I do expect that in the off years that we make the NIT and do not choke in the first game to Oakland, et al.

Yeah Purnell had to rebuild, but brownell did not, eh? I keep seeing this thrown around and it is silly, and a dumb comparison.

1. People act like Purnell left this basketball in great shape....we still had the worst facilities and history in the ACC. We went to the tourney 3 times in a row and lost to a lower seed. Wow, what a selling point to recruits. He left with no notice to players at the end of the recruiting cycle. He only had one mediocre commitment and they went to UGA. We didn't end up having a freshman class because of this.

2. In our second year, Brian narcisse started and our back up big man was catelin baciu. The talent dropoff was huge..... if you compare Purnell and brownell talent in year 2, it was very similar. I always like narcisse, but he would not sniff the court on this team.

Re: No agenda just numbers


Mar 6, 2023, 3:36 PM

This constant argument from you is insincere. You’re pretending Brownell had no control over his team until sometime years down the road. He came in off-season of 2010. He had months to recruit for the fall early signing date. That’s what you’re crying about with the cupboard bare. It’s literally what every new coach deals with any year in basketball. The freshman class he inherited was - on paper - the best recruiting class in Clemson basketball history. That’s a fact. Trashing our former players doesnt change it a reveals how cynical and insincere your calls to support Brownell are. You don’t give a crap about anything other than being right about Brownell and are willing to see this go on forever to feel right. Once again a regular season is over and it’s pretty safe to say we aren’t in the tourney. We could still play our game way in but it’s pretty embarrassing that we’re in this position as you bros proudly contend this is the bestest season Eva! It’s sad you throw those former players under the bus to aggrandize Brownell. To whatever degree they were “busts” is inextricably tied to Brownell’s failure to motivate, coach, adjust his style of play, utilize their athleticism or basically do anything. His second year recruiting class is more his problem the Purnell’s but you actually excuse him for just floundering.

Sorry to hurt your widdle feelings by saying Brian narcisse wasn't an acc caliber starter. I thought that was common sense.

You can say that it was the best class in history on paper, but we all know that is insincere. You are intentionally leaving out context.

Milton Jennings was our highest rated recruit ever. We all know and saw that he was a bust. Sorry Milton. Noel johnson was our second highest rated recruit. He transferred to auburn and only started 5 games for the remainder of his career. He avg 4 ppg in his best year. Devin booker was solid, but not a star like his brother. It's ok to admit that.

Re: No agenda just numbers


Mar 6, 2023, 6:50 PM

As usual virtually everything false.
You don’t hurt my feelings.
I don’t bash players
You don’t say “there wasn’t much talent leftover” you have trashed virtually every player on Brownell’s initial roster by name.
Whatever Milton was, Brownell was his coach. As our highest rated player ever you should concede that he had a much higher ceiling than what was achieved. How does the man that coached him and put him on the floor bare absolutely zero credit for that lack of development. It is a ridiculous notion that has set up Brownell to only earn accolades and have no fault whatsoever when things go wrong.
Why did our second highest recruit transfer? Also, no fault of Brownell’s. Weird that our two best recruits flamed out but the head coach has literally zero culpability in your eyes.
It is absurd to argue that the job before Brownell was comparable to the one in front of Purnell. It’s especially stupid since Brownell himself said it was not a rebuilding job. And even if you were crazy enough to want to say they started from the same baseline it would take Brownell seasons to build a team that would get back to the tourney. It took Purnell 5 - whereupon he went 3 straight times.

The reality
The Tigers have reached the NCAA tournament 13 times in the modern era (1980, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021) since the tournament expansion in 1980, advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 four times (1980, 1990, 1997, 2018), with their best performance reaching the Elite Eight once.

Clemson Basketball Coaches of that modern era
1980 - Foster coached from 1975-84
1987, 1989, 1990 - Ellis coached from 1984-94 so did not reach the NCAA Tournament in 84,85,86, 91,92,93, 94

1996, 1997, 1998 - Barnes coached from 1994-98 - Did not reach NCCA Tournament in his first year.
2008, 2009, 2010 - Purnell coached from 2003-10 - Did not reach NCAA Tournament 03,04,05, 06, 07
2011, 2018, 2021 - Brownell coached from 2010 - present and did not reach NCAA Tournament 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19 with 20 cancelled.

You want a great coach that Clemson should have gotten behind, it was Rick Barnes. That is turning point where the program could have become a much more consistent program. But he left. And Clemson has been searching for someone to take it up to another level .

No one should dismiss what Coach BB has done for Clemson basketball. The teams are more fundamentally sound than under Shyatt or Purnell. They play better defense. He has developed players. They have achieved things that no other coach at Clemson has been able to accomplish. Winning in Chapel Hill vs a team coached by Roy Williams was a big deal. Going to Sweet 16 is a big deal in Clemson history.

To me the knock that I give to Coach Brownell:
- he has had too many players leave the program, aka transfer
- he has not really improved basketball recruiting's success
- he does not seem to have a warm, approachable personality to win over the Clemson fanbase
- I think he is slow to see the reality during some games where certain players are not going to be what he wants/thinks that they are

So I do not know if there is another level that he could take Clemson basketball too. I think he has hit is ceiling. So I am OK if AD Neff makes a change. But if a change is made. He better make the right one. Otherwise, Clemson basketball will slide backwards.

Brownell may be hitting his ceiling. AD Neff will have to decide that. But I do not think a change occurs this year based on what has occurred as of today ( March 6). There is still time.

So since Barnes, Shyatt was abysmal. Then OP comes to start growing interest and getting attention. However, his approach could only go so far and he reached his limit. So Clemson hired Brownell.

An AD would have a hard time looking a prospective new coach in the eye after firing a coach that just bettered the all-time conference record for wins by 3 games. Just settle in and hope there is a way we can somehow beat NC State for a 3rd time Thursday and all will be taken care of. If there is no common sense in the selection process anymore, all we can do is win.

Sounds like Brad is doing a nice job of doing more with less in a down conference.

No agenda here. He deserves credit for what they've accomplished so far. From here on out his season will be based on post season results.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan and don't think his resume suggests he's Rick Barnes, but as far as this season goes so far so good.

He routinely plays teams that have a higher basketball budget than we have and better fan support than we have, not to mention a better basketball history than we do.

To finish in the top half of the conference on average as we have under Brad means he is doing more with less. Sprinkle in seasons like this one, and we are definitely getting our money’s worth.

This year, we finished ahead of teams with higher rated recruiting classes. We have several big contributors who were not highly recruited, but have improved considerably during their time at Clemson due to good coaching.

From what I gather, I don't think our administration is willing to invest more in the coach we have. I think they will consider investing more to attract a coach they really want. You would argue just spend more with the coach we have and he will deliver more of the results we want. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of folks believe that. This leads us to continue with what we have until we identify someone we really want to go after, and will pay to get, and then continue to invest to upgrade the program.

I certainly could be wrong but it feels like this is where we are...

....it was just a typing error.

JK asked the same question and I just responded. Just a little dyslexic typing on my part!

I stand corrected!

That was just my dyslexia kicking in. I meant to type "more with less".

Brad has done a nice job with this year's team, and there's no doubt he's done MORE WITH LESS.

Basketball conference power rankings:

1 Big 12 0.588 Kansas (25-6) 1
2 SEC 0.567 Alabama (26-5) 2
3 Big Ten 0.559 Purdue (26-5) 3
4 Mountain West 0.557 San Diego St (24-6) 4
5 Big East 0.544 Marquette (25-6) 5
6 ACC 0.542 Duke (23-8) 6

Yes, ACC is behind the Mountain West and Big East...

just numbers

Adjusting the ratings so that Big 12 is 100%, for comparison

Big 12 100.0
SEC. 96.4
Big 10. 95.1
M West. 94.7
Big East 92.5
ACC. 92.2

Significant difference?

I have a serious question. If Brownell was to leave would the next coach look at this job as a rebuild?

Tired of hearing about fan support and budgets. Poorer teams will be in the tourney. Barnes had far less and done a lot more.

It’s recruiting and X’s and 0’s. You do those well and the money and recruits will follow. We are and have not been a pipeline for the NBA but we can do a hell of a lot better than always being on the outside looking in.
