Thanks!

Long Winter
Struggling in basketball is nothing new to Clemson.  Having little hope for better in the future is new.

And it starts at top...

Besides talent the HC is responsible for bringing in recruits who have the work ethic and passion who want hussle and grit. Also, if a coach loses his players with complicated defensive and offensive systems it can be a downward spiral. Brad looked like Tommy Bowdan in that post game press conference Saturday night.

His recruiters and assistant coaches are on the way to getting him canned....a state of the art coliseum housing a division III team wont play well very long....we are gonna take some god-awful beatings this year and there is nothing we can do about it, and we are several years into this program....

Tread lightly! Anyone that says anything too negative opens themselves up to a lot of bashing and being called a coot!

That's silly

And childish to call someone who dares to have a differing opinion a coot. I don't openly criticize anything Clemson but if someone articulates a different opinion with respect but concern I would never call them a coot.

what's the difference between "bashing someone" and "expressing a differing opinion"??

the problem is, the great uneducated want the ability to come on Tigernet under an alias with no clue as to their true identity and want to belittle, demean, denigrate, "bash" if you will, Clemson student-athletes and those in charge of supervising/training them. All these are individuals who represent Clemson University in one form or another....these "bashers" insist its their right to do so, because on game day, they're "Clemson fans" (and a great many of these people are disguised chickens or fairweather fans)

Yet, they don't recognize the right for other people to "bash" them--to defend Clemson University and those that represent it.

Now, which attitude do you think is silly and childish again?? Those who demand the right to criticize without being held responsible for their actions, or those who utilize the same rights?? Which is "bashing" and which is expressing a different opinion??

Who's being silly and childish?? If you can't stand criticism, don't criticize.....after all, its just the internet, isn't it??

Brownell has a secure job until the season after we get back from Greenville, I think. Having to play home games 45 minutes off-campus is tough in any circumstance, but it makes recruiting even tougher. So he'll get a pass next year and maybe the year after. But he will have harsh eyes on him after that.

the Clemson athletic department that basketball will be a real priority and not an afterthought.

This has absolutely never happened in Clemson history.

And make no mistake, Clemson is light years behind in this endeavor. Not only because we haven't invested nearly enough while others have ... but, on top of that, we've competed against programs that have also been willing and able to cheat rampantly for decades increasing their already substantial head start.

Last Saturday, we faced a team from a school that has done everything necessary to achieve what our fans say they want in a basketball program. And they started the process over 50 years ago!

Catching up will be a huge task ... maybe it will be impossible. But, the first step has to be spending the money to build the type of playing facility that great recruits absolutely expect and great coaches absolutely require.

Do we want great players? Do we want the best coach possible? If so, we have to spend the money to make it happen.

Until we do that, mediocrity will be our best case scenario.

Jan 5, 2015, 10:35 AM

Our ball handler(s) could not get past a good defense. Credit to UNC for playing hard on D and breaking the game open early. Rod is practically the only point now - those lost players are a big impact now - and Roper has struggled this season so far. The good teams attack our weakness which is our offense right now. We look very thin compared to the better teams we have seen so far. I think Rod and JB should drive to the basket as much as possible. But Rod can't do that and be the point for the entire game.

Agree about hall, roper , and nnoko regressing. Maybe due to no kj or maybe not. Either way they look like different guys

It seems that Nnoko has regressed a bit.
