I was all for Brownell through his first 8-9 years before I jumped off the wagon and was all for our AD showing him the exit door. It could be easy to get back on board with the guy if he can now finally show that he is right for our basketball program, but he will have to have a good run in the tournament bc just one really good season of 15 seasons doesn't cut it as a good fit for our basketball program...

The difference over the last 2 years isn't just the wins.
He's brought in young talent and kept it while also bringing in transfers who can contribute.
It's a formula for success and less likely to have lulls like teams that are bringing in 7 or 8 new players every year.
I'm not sure we can ask for more given we know we aren't going to get McDonald's All Americans and even if we did they'd be 1 and done so if you don't have a yearly pipeline they don't help that much.
If you aren't happy with the results last year and so far this year, what coach would make you happy?

No one has benefited more from the decline of the ACC in men's basketball than Brownell. Everyone knows, or should know, the ACC is no longer even a very good league. That's why Clemson won 24 games 2 seasons ago and got left out of the NCAAT. Even with the decline of the ACC, Brownell can't even produce a regular season title, much less win more than one game in the ACCT. Let's see what happens with this season's ACCT before we proclaim Brownell the second coming of John Wooden.

Clemson football now pads win totals against lowly ACC teams.
In contrast to Brownell though, Clemson football no longer beats highly ranked teams.

Grayson Mann is a top notch writer.
I'm very pleased with basketball success the last two years. I could care less that the ACC is weak. We have no control over that. Football is no different in the ACC.
It's a rather weak conference but I seldom hear complaints about that when our Tigers win out in the conference.

My question for you is, who cares?!?
As opposed to most of our good Clemson teams then, we are actually relevant outside the ACC now. We are beating basketball powers out of conference and having postseason success.
I would much rather have that, as opposed to patting ourselves on the back for “quality losses” in a “tough conference” yet not really being that good and not doing much in the postseason (as was the case for most of the Ellis and Barnes tenures at Clemson).
Bashing our conference every chance you guys get is a weird flex. It feels like you’re trying to diminish what we have accomplished. I don’t understand that, especially since we are clearly winning our share of nonconference games too.

Its not even what it was in the 00 or early 2010s. Everyone can see that, why dimish how much its taken a step back compared to other conferences. We are at best the #3 and close to the #4 conference in CBB.
Whats ironic is you getting sensitive over people calling it out but when its football season you have NO problem dimishing our wins in the weak ACC.
Your hypocrisy is showing.

All you have to feel good about Clemson with regard to Clemson football lately is ACC success. We have a losing record against the best teams on our schedule the last few years. We haven’t won a playoff game in a while and are 0-5 in our last 5 games against top 5 opponents. Our recruiting is slipping.
Any criticism I’ve made about the ACC in football is in response to people here who brag about winning 10 games and making the playoffs. When that isn’t accompanied by out of conference success, it doesn’t mean as much. That is especially true when we SHOULD be winning the ACC in football, a conference that is historically poor to mediocre at football and mostly filled with teams that care about football a lot less than we do.
Seeing us excel in basketball, not only in the ACC but nationally as well, is surely hard for those of you who are football fans above all else. The fact that we are doing it in a basketball conference, as a program with a poor basketball history, while expertly using NIL and the portal, has to be hard.
I would encourage you and others to remember that Clemson’s success in basketball will only help the perception of our football program, and that basketball success doesn’t have to mean that football has to continue its slide.
I am hopeful that Dabo’s recent willingness to hire better coaches, use the portal, and lead with NIL will result in our football program once again reaching its potential.

I'd say she hugged me just the right amount to feel loved so that I could become emotionally mature and independent. Probably in hopes that I didn't feel the need to attack other people's mothers on a sports message board.

1. Clemson winning in basketball has NOTHING to do with the perception of our football program. Zero. People already know.
2. What is your problem with Dabo and the football team ?
I go watch both sports a lot. I love both. But if you're comparing resumes..... you're missing the big pic. Dabo has 2 natty's, BB has 2 Elite 8 appearances and that's it.
You need to stop whining and stop with the negative. Your stubbornness about it is a really bad, unintelligent, narrow-minded fail.
I hope we win Natty's in both sports every year... not really sure you do.
Just don't understand your angle. Something is bad off, but whatever.

All he/we have to feel good about is ACC success in football ? Well isn't it ironic that all Clemson BB has to feel good about is ACC success as well.... during a downtime. Isn't that funny ?
Ignoring/blocking you from now on..... not because you take digs @ Dabo/FB Team. I'm fine with that.
I love Clemson BB as much as anyone, probably more. I played hoops a lot w Horace Grant, Anthony Jenkins and Barbara Kennedy. Became friends with them. Missed 3 home games in 4 years as a student. I hope they never lose a game again. You don't change that. But your perspective is just ridiculous and really unexplainable.

Do we have the richest basketball history in the conference?
Do we have the highest ranked recruits in the conference?
Do we have the best facilities in the conference?
Do we have the highest paid coaching staff in the conference?
Do we have the best fan support in the conference?
If the answer to all of these is yes, then sure, winning the ACC should be expected.
If the answer to some or all of these is no, then we should be thrilled to be among the best teams since we clearly shouldn’t be expected to be so good.
In the latter case, it is clear that we have great coaches and a committed group of players who are doing an awesome job to overachieve (again!).
Hope that helps.

You mean like whining about how top football programs cheat when they use the portal? Or how teams better than us are paying for players with NIL? Or suggesting that elite teams lack the morals that we have?
No, I am not doing that at all. I believe we are very capable of winning the ACC this year, and am hopeful we will. But to EXPECT that we will is ridiculous since we don’t have many of the advantages other teams in the conference do.
This isn’t Clemson football, with every advantage in the world compared to the rest of the conference.

History has NOTHING to do with today.
Recruits don’t matter as much as coaching. The ACC stinks and there’s no excuse to lose.
We have GREAT facilities, but facilities don’t coach the game.
Our staff is very well compensated. These are the coaches you wanted. Good coaches win games and it has nothing to do with pay.
We have great fan support. Especially when the product warrants it. We will have great fans at the ACCT. Coaches coach and win games, not fans.
It’s pathetic that Brad Brownells most loyal fan is making excuses and not expecting to win the 5th best conference in America. Nothing you listed there is relevant to this years tournament. Just sad and pathetic thoughts from you.

the teams. They apparently aren’t coached well and that’s one of the reasons the ACC stinks. Great season last year. But we should be expected to win the conference as down as it is, and we should be expected to perform every year in the postseason. It’s obvious part of our incline is tied to a poor league otherwise. Personally I think this is the best chance we’ve ever had, and with our talent, resources and coaching pay, we should absolutely expect to win this 5th rated conference.

Yes it bad, but this Duke team is considered right up there with Auburn that could be one of best teams ever. You know the Tigers have to go through them again to win it, right?

consistently winning games you should and losing very few that you shouldn't. Even scraping out an upset or two along the way.
If the ACC were better top to bottom we may likely still be NET ranked as we are just based on how those metrics work even though our record could be a few games off. I mean, look at SCar and its 0-fer league play and where they are.
I wouldn't say winning the ACC is an expectation for anyone other than Duke this season. I would expect us at least to make it to the final though all things considered. Two wins finally in the ACCT this season isn't in any way unreasonable for how well we've traversed league play so far and where the program seems to be.

What a stupid thing to write.
Because even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile?
Even if UNC and Duke win most of the ACC championships, other programs win it occasionally.
It's not odd to think Clemson should be able to win it occasionally.
NC State won it last year and while they have some history it's way before any of their current players were born.
Their roster is no better than ours and hasn't been for years.
Virginia Tech won it in 2022
Ga Tech won it in 2021.

Yeah like he is the only CU coach who hasnt ever won it. Honestly he has us moving closer than ever to doing that if you wake up and look. Who else has won at UNC in hoops? No one but he has twice.

our basketball success.
To them, winning in basketball - especially while expertly using the portal and NIL while having a great culture - just further reminds them how we have underachieved as a football program recently. To be doing this with all of basketball’s disadvantages, while football declines despite its many advantages, is too much for them to deal with.
You would think that they would be fans of all Clemson sports and want to see us succeed in everything. I guess not.

You had to throw the underaching comment about Football. Dude, winning the ACC and making the playoffs is not underachieving.
I'm not going to put down basketball to retaliate just because that is what you want fans to do...

when we had the second highest paid coach in college football, the third highest paid assistant coaching staff, and world class facilities, but lost to all three SEC teams we played by an average of 16 points, and only made the playoffs because we got an auto bid for winning a lousy conference.
We made our conference championship game by going 7-1 against an ACC schedule that feasted on teams mostly near the bottom of our already weak conference.
Winning your conference and making the CFP is a nice season, but trying to argue that it was a great season under the aforementioned circumstances is a stretch. It would have been a successful season if we showed that we could beat good teams with a national presence, but we didn’t.

We should expect to compete, knowing that other teams have poured in $$$s at a greater level. Beating lowly UNC is no longer the goal. They suck!

Hard to imagine Dabo having to fill 40% of his starting lineup every year

via the portal, or any football program for that matter unless they were pretty much completely starting over each season. Yikes.
Happy that the rules of the game have changed recently to allow for instant plug-and-play transfers, in hoops especially. It's clearly made a big difference here in maintaining a competitive roster these past few years as opposed to the emphasis being on deeper retention and in-house development.

Yeah, having so few players to manage year to year and get productivity out of definitely has its advantages.

Well written piece.
After reading this, I feel like BB could plug me into the 2 spot for the tournament and we could get it done.
I'm 6'3" & 217 @ 55...my knees are still intact and I got handles.
Love handles , but nonetheless. Let's go cut some nets !!!!

I have believed in his system for the last 4 years. I even called that Sweet 16 before the season. People asked what I was smoking. I just saw the pieces and needs falling in place. Next season will be absolute fascinating to see what he puts together with the Portal and with what we have. He will need some dudes inside.

Chase finally putting it together at the very last minute at the end of year 5 is what made the difference.
Nice to see him continue this year, but curious to see what happens next year with him gone.
We can't afford to have 3+ mediocre years from a starter for them to finally put it together at the end.

Shades of Gabe DaVoe. Dude rained in 3's to pull us back close vs NC State his freshman year one game then disappears from there only to re-emerge mid-season his senior year to play lights out and help drive us to that Sweet 16 appearance. His leadership there was infectious and essentially originated Clemson Grit that season through his efforts.

Pisses off the Lunatic Fringe. So they have to rip on the ACC, blah, blah, blah. It’s not Clemson’s fault the ACC and college basketball in general is in transition. Why can’t the LF admit that BroWnell is the best basketball coach Clemson has ever had in its history? Give the man some credit. And as far as fan support? I would say fan support is lukewarm unless there is a blue blood in the building. That’s when all the Toxic T Netters break out their Duke jerseys.

I don't mind you defending the Basketball Program but lieing that fans don't care about the program and are not attending games. The last few years has been the best attendance average since the Oliver Purnell years and the only reason they were bigger then is because Littlejohn had a total capacity of 10k instead of a little under 9k that it is now.

ago as you were putting down Clemson fans about the small crowd size, yet people who were actually at the game called you out on your BS as they knew better? You saw something on TV and concocted a lie around it, and got busted?
nctigs doesn't have the motivation to lie about things like that as you appear to. Why is that?

So, Judge Keller, what was the last game YOU attended? Don’t lie. I’m betting CM is right, and you’ll run from this question.
Trolling and lying are bad things. I’m gonna go with Lester on this one - it seems you may need mental help.

The mystery to me is why is Brownell so much more effective in the portal. He has always been a great coach, getting the most of his players. His issue has always been his recruiting. Now he seems to be good at finding and persuading talented players in the portal to come to Clemson, and that also seems to have helped his recruiting. Perhaps it is just time, but I think Brownell is hitting his stride. Clemson has always been known as a football school, so it has taken Brownell time to build the reputation, but if he stays on for a while longer, Clemson may truly become a fixture in the NCAA's.
