I am reading all the comments about students attendance at game and general attendance and Coach Brownell. I have season tickets to the games and I was at Clemson during the 70 and attended games on a regular basis. I truly believe that Terry Don Philips caused most of the problems with basketball. When I was a student you could go to the games at the last minute and the student seats were not under the baskets. Now we have some of the worst student seating in the ACC. Terry put zero dollars into the program, throughout his entire time as AD we fell behind. We had Purnell and he left because of lack of support. The mess that Philips created will take a few years to fix. I hope the new AD will work on it more. I do know students will get some better seats in the new LittleJohn. it is a start. I do not know if Brownell is a good coach. I think we do a horrible job of boxing out at the foul line, I know we need more ball handlers, and our offense is not creative. He needs to recruit better. A new assistant to just work on these issue would help. Dabo had to fire assistants to move the team forward, I believe Brownell has to as well. Students did not create this mess, stop blaming them.
but down. The fans loved him, the team loved him, but he "rebuilt" Clemson and saw that his recruiting had gone cold. Instead of taking control of the situation, he pulled a Baltimore Colts and left town under cover of darkness. I have a hard time forgiving him for that.
