I'd take a first round loss in the NCAAT over maybe making the NIT.

It's amazing what OP did considering he didn't get the quarter of support Brownell has. We can continue playing this game if you want?

OP was a really great recruiter
Mar 11, 2020, 3:28 PM
|
|
But a terrible in game coach, couldn’t make adjustments, and his teams were atrocious at shooting free throws.
I saw it all in person since I went to almost every home game from 07-until he left
Our current coach has done a better job and you can see improvement. He’s just a better basketball coach

no support, no money, old arena, sun was in his eyes, etc - yet he got us to tourney when ACC was much better.

Because until recently brownell hasn’t had the players OP
Mar 11, 2020, 3:59 PM

had. It was the player talent, not the coaching that made OP’s teams fun to watch and occasionally win a game. They didn’t do anything in the tourneys, and off the top of my head he never beat 3 top 6 teams in one year
You give Brownell trevor booker, stitt, James Mays...etc, and he wins the acc and goes deep in the tourney
You give OP the facilities that brownell has now...and it’s exactly the same outcome that he had here before the facilities upgrade

perhaps you are correct. we will never know. but that too - is part of his job - recruiting. 10 years to get here. kind of a dilemma. have we turned a corner with BB or is it a mirage? i dont think we will ever get the 5 stars (but who knows) - but would be nice to get a bunch of players who develop into great role players (aka Gonzaga kind of players). and a post presence. i miss the days of nance and wyatt blocking shots - elden, davis.

That’s true, we don’t have a way to know.

And you’re absolutely right, recruiting is part of his job and it’s ultimately his responsibility and should be held accountable. But I would say that we’ve seen improvement in that over the past couple years, and again he’s a better coach. I love how he took kj and made him into an nba draft pick
Not getting Zion hurt a lot, but since I believe Brownell runs a clean program, that’s why we missed out on him. I think the program and the culture is better under Brownell but maybe if the next two years are like this one it would be time to move on

It would be a tremendous help if high school basketball became better in the state. S.C. has never been noted as a basketball state and the few great ones get away from Clemson. The big kid coming in next year is a good sign ..., I hope. Miami started two kids from Australia today. Wonder how that came about?

10 years... no. 8 years to get to the sweet sixteen and 2 years after the facilities upgrade. How many years did it take OP to get to the sweet 16?
