Barnes…


Mar 12, 2022, 7:35 PM

I’m just a casual observer of basketball so flame away if I missed something beyond his lack of class when he left. It just seems to me Clemson blew its best chance of greatness when they didn’t blow up Littlejohn if that’s what it took.

Seen him this afternoon and my first thought was dang he has aged. I do not know all the reasonings of what happened here when he left but would have loved for him to have stayed. Hell of a coach imo. Really surprised he did not win a national championship with Texas.

deroberts you’re an idiot. Not surprising since you’re from York. No one from that town should be allowed to pull for Clemson.

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

York. Still visit for the new shops and restaurants. Love the historical part of the town. The people though…put a border up and require a passport to leave.

I love York. Made many stops on my way back Winthrop. Occasionally would walk through the town and shop at the sporting goods store owned by a guy named Mike ( I think ).

Build a nicer arena. Instead of the lipstick on a pig upgrades we’ve done.

Great point about LJ tiger_swimmer!

Question: Does Clemson have the financial resources to have an elite football and mens basketball program???

I have said the same thing about LJ for years. LJ was built when former Clemson football HC Frank Howard was the AD. I don’t believe Howard had much use for Clemson basketball. I think he wanted the money for football. There are rumors that Howard took several short cuts during the construction of LJ to save money. IMO Frank Howard is one of the reasons Clemson’s basketball program is far behind much of the other ACC programs.

Clemson should build a new basketball area that stands out from the outside just like DV. Some Recruits are impressed with those flashy arenas and stadiums. Clemson should have started from scratch when they made upgrades to LJ instead of throwing good money into a bad basketball arena.

As far a Rick Barnes I can’t say for sure why he left Clemson but I don’t think he wife was very happy living in Clemson. I believe Barnes’s never had any intention’s of being the HC of Clemson’s BB program.

One thing I can say about Coach Brownell puts 110% of himself as HC into Clemson’s basketball program and he actually wants to be here. We as fans should at least appreciate his efforts and his dedication to the program. Coach B has had success with the program with the resources he has been given.

The VT loss is not the first time the Tigers have been bitten at the buzzer. Remember the loss to UConn. That was the longest 1 sec. For UCONN’s player to catch the ball and then turn to get a shot of with 1 sec seems impossible to me. I have watched that shot over and over with my daughter Class 2015 agrees it is as the longest sec. In sports history.

IMO if you want to blame someone because Clemson does not have a really great program look to Frank Howard and those who controlled the money when LJ was built.

Frank Howard has been dead for 26 years.

I was disappointed when they modified the plans from a complete demolition and new arena, to improvements to LJ.
Does anyone have the original design that they can share?

Barnes was not an authentic Clemson

man, had very soft musician's hands(I shook it), and the years have really weathered his face too. I hardly recognized him on TV yesterday.
