BB looks like a better coach when his players make shots
the team shot 36% and 29% from 3 last night... not gonna win many shooting like that
perhaps some of you folks ready to fire BB need to consider that?
here are the numbers from the prior ACC games
FG% / 3-pt%
WF 46% / 40% (a W despite only shooting 55% from the FT line)
NC 45% / 39%
ND 49% / 38.9%

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if we shot poorly. It doesn't matter if we gave up too many easy baskets. It doesn't matter if it set us back a decade when KJ McDaniels left a year early. It doesn't matter if the refs screwed us. It doesn't matter if we had too many turnovers. It is all irrelevant.
This is year seven for Brownell. He won big with Purnell's players in his first year. Since then we have been "rebuilding". Here's a hint: If you can't get it rebuilt by year SEVEN, you might want to consider a new builder.
All that matters at this point is whether we won or lost. How we accomplish either does not matter. WE lost last night, and that's bad.
Yes, it's too early to make any kind of decision yet; we could still turn it around, and I hope we do. But it's a bottom line situation now for Brownell, at least as I see it. All that matters is winning enough to get us into the NCAA Tournament. While any evaluation and decision won't be made until season's end, losses like the last 3 just look like more of the same old frustrating mediocrity instead of a sign that we are turning the corner, and that is a problem.

Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is...

Agree. Although he's not taking, making or missing shots, who's responsible for recruiting the players, developing the players, making them better floor shooters and better FREE THROW (my insanity issue) shooters? When you recruit against the Radfords, Elons, and sign players that you have to develop, you get what we got. Coaches want 4 years to get "their" recruits to fit "their" system, then they need new facilities, but seven years with few results sounds like treading water to me? BB seems to be a good likable guy, but an average coach. I've said all along, BB is the Tommy Bowden of Clemson basketball...he will only take us to the height of mediocrity. We'll see if he can turn this season around.

There have been several renovations and even more coach changes still throws won't fall in Littlejohn.

So is shooting just pure luck and has nothing to do...

with talent or coaching? The coaches recruit the players and supposedly teach them the best strategies to get shots they can make. Brownell's teams have never been able to do that consistently enough to win enough games.
I agree with Smiling Tiger's statement below. It's not a matter of "rebuilding" any more. Losing to that bad 9-6 GT team is par for the course with this coaching staff. This is what we're going to get with this regime. If you're ok with these results for the foreseeable future, then stay with Brownell.
Yeah, the season isn't over and there's still time to turn it around and get back on track in the conference; but we've whistled this tune before.

how did you miss the point so badly?
one bad shooting night and that's your response?
FWIW GaTech beat UNC by the exact same score...
i didn't see/hear anyone calling for Roy W to get fired after his team shot 33% and 19% from 3.

Roy has this little thing called a national championship that might get in the way of firing him.

What I do know, is that OP took us to the tourney

a lot. Brownlee is unable to do so. Year after year after year. You can blame the kids, you can blame the facilities, you can blame the fans, but the only thing that really changed was the coaching staff. One staff made us a 5 seed, the other is unable to make the tournament. It's that simple.
