Re: A successful basketball season is . . .

Since brad’s detractors are neg head whiners who won’t define what success looks like for the program, I’m gonna do it for them.

Now, I’m gonna set the bar a little lower than some of you whiney complainers might like. That’s cuz clemson doesn’t devote enough resources to basketball. See $63 million stadium reno and $2.6 million a year HC contract. With that paltry level of support, you can’t expect brad to go out and find a few kids who make a difference every year. It just isn’t fair. Not to mention that kids are showing up and then not performing the way brad expects.

So, given the unfairness of it all, I’m gonna say a successful year for our tigers men’s basketball team is one with a better than .500 conference record. By that standard, brad will be 5-7 after this year. So pretty good!

Think of brad’s tenure like a baseball season. If a team goes 5-7 in their first 12 games, no big deal. They have plenty of time to right the ship and win 90-100 games. You gotta think about what’s best for your grandkids and their kids as future tiger fans: brad.

Keep your negativity off this bleeping post! Let’s go brads!!!!!! Beat wake on Wednesday!!!

I think you need to grab a reliable dictionary and look up the word successful.
But lets use your argument and let's say, compare Clemson basketball to UNC football .I guess UNC's lack of winning the ACC CHAMPIONSHIP in football is because they don't spend the revenue on that sport like they do basketball.
And how do you expect Brad's players to perform when maybe Tyson Hunter and P.J. Hall might be considered basketball players, not "Athletes" Do we even have 1 3 star basketball players on our squad. It is one thing to have guys that can run up and down the court at will, but is it too much to expect them to play a little defense from time to time. And how many times do you see a player pass on an open 3,or come up short.
And please show me one other bottom feeder in the league that blew a 23 point half time lead to Boston College, AT HOME, or that seem to find ways to have 5-7 minute scoring droughts or turn the ball over more times than attempting a 3. And this happens more times than Carter has those little pill.
By the way did you see the game yesterday. Our last two games were against a team with 4 starters out(FSU ) and nursing a 4 game losing streak and against a team with an interim head coach and mired in a 6 game losing streak. I would think winning at least one of those road games might be considered successful. We were 0-2.
And "college "baseball" is pro baseball. They don't play a 100 games.
So you stick with Brad ,and when they beat Wake on Wednesday ,get back to me and say :"See I told you so".
