If Purnell hadn't ruined our bball program when he left...


Mar 13, 2017, 1:32 PM

how many NCAAT appearances, wins, Sweet 16's, etc... would Brownell have by now? If the program had been in decent shape, it wouldn't have taken 7-8 years for BB's coaching to shine.

Ehhh...If it wasnt for OP, Brownell would have zero apperances instead of the one he does have(with OP's recruits)

Brownell is not a good coach. Barnes,Foster,and Purnell were good coaches. They got us to the NCAAs and beyond. What has Brownell done other than have average teams?

You're next CoachMac, why couldn't we get a better coach


Mar 13, 2017, 2:26 PM

with the juggernaut that OP built?

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


The consensus was we hired a great coach in CBB


Mar 13, 2017, 2:33 PM

I remember reading one article that said something along the lines of (and I'm paraphrasing) one of the best qualities of a CBB team is that they always get a great look at the basket coming out of a timeout. After this last year, do you think that's true? Heck, I was happy all year when we didn't turn the ball over on the in-bounds pass, let alone get a shot off, let alone getting a quality shot off, let alone actually score.

You ask the question like I was personally on the search


Mar 13, 2017, 2:54 PM

committee. I know the timing of the search put us at a disadvantage, but when CBB was hired it was seen as a really good decision. I know you enjoy the hyperbole of using the word "juggernaut" but you have to admit our team was pretty strong when OP skipped town. So what are you really asking here?

I am asking why a team with 3 straight NCAA bids had to


Mar 13, 2017, 3:08 PM

settle for Wright State's HC? Was it our history? Was it our facilities? Was it Administrative support? The bandwagon was full, so it couldn't have been the fan support...What, in YOUR opinion, turned established P5 coaches away?

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


And what makes you so sure we will do better THIS time

around? Other than facilities, which we have been told numerous times isn't THAT important.

You keep missing the point, we didn't settle


Mar 13, 2017, 3:16 PM [ in reply to I am asking why a team with 3 straight NCAA bids had to ]

TDP consulted with guys like Rick Barnes and Brad Stevens and they all recommended Brad Brownell.

"He has been a winner everywhere he has been," Stevens said. "He is a quality coach and a quality person. Clemson has hired a big-time basketball coach."

Mar 13, 2017, 3:39 PM [ in reply to He was the best we could get, with the juggernaut OP built, ]

ignoring the fact that CBB was a good hire and came highly recommended. When has Clemson ever hired experienced P5 coaches in any sport? OP came from Dayton and built the program from complete ruin to a team that was making the tournament every year. Barnes came from Providence. Look at football, Bowden and Dabo? We have history in football and couldn't even get Frank Beamer to talk to us in 1998. Do I think we can upgrade this time around? Yes. Just like we upgraded after Shyatt.

Mar 13, 2017, 3:45 PM

pretend that was a big time job. But way to avoid the actual point of the post. If we were able to upgrade after Shyatt with a mid-major coach, why do you think we can't upgrade after Brownell?

P5 =

SEC

And GWP yes he is intentionally trying to be obtuse. He ignores questions and answers. He can only deflect and deflect.
