BASKETBALL.. copied and pasted this from

Another thread I had responded to because I knew that thread was going to get buried.
As I say further down, I don’t know the inner working of the bb team/Dept but I don’t know why these things wouldn’t work
A couple of questions
I don’t know if it is already being done (if so they are terrible at it) but does the basketball Dept have access to the same resources as the football team??(not being sarcastic).
Does the basketball program have the same support through the AD and BOT as the football team had?? If they don’t, they should.
BB needs to be able to hire people, like football, to get our program jump started. I mean support staff and marketing staff. Why couldn’t bb put a couple of people over in our google center to research players that Clemson are looking at or maybe should be looking at. They could also use that tool to better market our basketball program. Why is this not possible??
They should be able to hire better assistant coaches, (especially on offense and shooting (kind of like our QB Coach). We should be able get some analyst that can find the diamonds in the rough. Do we currently have that support staff??
All recruiting assets and talent assessment assets should be available for what is suppose to be the second largest revenue generator. Why isn’t this being done?
There is no way the recruiting, screening of players, constant talking and following up with recruits and players is totally on BB and if it is that is bullish!t. Shouldn’t we have a better support staff?
Our current arrangement isn’t working and all of the blame is being laid on the coach and fan attendance.
BB is an excellent defensive coach. The players like him and he appears to really love the University. We had some good returning players, but I think there should be offensive coaches etc. and better support staff. Why can’t our Basketball coach have the same support and access to Clemson’s marketing program?
As you can see I don’t know how the structure of how BB works but it seems like there needs to be some hiring or firing of the support staff for bb.
Why can’t our admin put the same fervor into our bb program as they did when they handed
Coach Swinney the reigns. They stated they wanted our fb team to be as good as or better than the ostate, ou, ga and Bama. They gave full on support for what ever was needed.
Our football team has arrived and I don’t mean taking anything from fb but they need to take the same approach with bb. Is this unreasonable?
There was a full on assault in hiring, marketing etc for the fb team and starting right now they should figure out how to do the same thing for bb.
We are Clemson and there is no excuse why this couldn’t be done. BB is an excellent coach, especially defense, but he can’t do it without the full on support of the administration. Everyone of the schools that are competitive in bb has this support
Instead of everyone jumping in firing Brad why can’t we get behind getting him some additional coaches and support?
