By halftime, I saw three airballs from three point land. I saw a three-pointer that got wedged between the rim and the glass. This all occurred on four straight possessions, while GT made two threes. Then I saw various Clemson players throw three straigt bad passes for turnovers above the top of the key, with literally no pressure on them. They were the very passes that peewee league coaches warned about. If you throw a halfa$$ed, lazy pass, it will get picked off. I guess they knew what they were talking about. Georgia Tech players on defense must have been humming the song, Easy Like Sunday Morning.
A caller today asked Packer about Brownell. Packer, who I like and agree with often, gave the same old lazy, tired answer that we've heard Plyler give over the years. The narrative is the same old tired one about the Clemson basketball coaching job being a tough job. I completely disagree. It is not a tough job. It's actually a very easy job. You get paid $2.5 million a year and don't have to make the NCAA tourney but once. All the while, no pressure at all, except maybe a few people on the internet that, for some reason, still care enough to post about it. And that pressure is easily dismissed becasue they are just alums, donors, or fans. Come to think of it, maybe that wasn't the GT players singing Easy Like Sunday Morning, maybe it was Brownell.
I am not sure if I've posted more than a couple of times about the basketball team, but I guess I care just enough to get irritated by what I saw tonight. Swept by Georgia Tech? A team we have owned? A team that is not even going to the conference tournament because of all of their cheating? Beat Duke, Florida State, and Louisville and go 9-11 in conference play? When is it time to let someone else have that "tough" job?
