Brownell is too inconsistent.


Jan 20, 2021, 8:26 PM

That is why everyone gets frustrated with him.

Surrendering 30 3’s in the last 2 games for starters?

badge-donor-05yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I didn't see him defending those shots.


Jan 20, 2021, 8:49 PM

UVA and Tech both shooting over 60% has nothing to do with coaching. Players are shown how to defend. These guys have been flat footed the last two games. At some point, people have to realize it's the players being inconsistent.

Re: I didn't see him defending those shots.


Jan 20, 2021, 8:53 PM

And who is teaching the players and then putting them out there?

It is one thing to be out skilled - and another to be not in position to defend.

Well I don’t claim to be a coach but have followed the game since birth. Perhaps recruit better players? Brownell has been at Clemson 11 years and has yet to put a player on an NBA roster. Practice squads don’t count. FSU will boat race this team Saturday with this lackluster play

It’s time Rad start to take a hard look. Clemson is bigger than an individual giving poor results

Blame whoever you want..


Jan 21, 2021, 7:27 AM [ in reply to I didn't see him defending those shots. ]

Brownell has-been around for a decade and we know how it typically goes. I'm not giving up by any means but it's frustrating to be ranked so high and then get blown out two games in a row...including absolutely embarrassed at home.

If we can't blame Brownell then also remember to not give him credit. Because it's the players, not the coach.

Re: Blame whoever you want..


Jan 21, 2021, 9:10 AM

This exactly. I'll use football as an example to make the point. Let's say we lose a football game because our receivers dropped a bunch of passes. Maybe you can blame that loss on the receivers not making plays. Let's say we go on to lose 3 or 4 other games that season for the exact same reason, then you really start to question if at least the receivers coach is doing his job properly, and eventually question Dabo for not figuring out a way to correct the problem if it continues.

Re: Blame whoever you want..


Jan 21, 2021, 9:17 AM

but you can't use football.

3 games is a month, in BB it could only be a week. You can't take small trends like that.

The UVA game was about our guys just having a cold game, GT was about GT having a hot game. Heck, TO asside, we were even "hot" that game. I will always take a 50% from the arc stat... the 20 turnovers is a bit frustrating but they were coming from everyone - and even Simms

Modern basketball is going to have bigger swings - it is a lot less consistent than football. 2 games is just 2 games. If it continues for the rest of the season, then sure - lets draw the coaching out. However, take it that we ran into a slump and you just have to shoot your way out of the slump. With Covid, some teams come out rusty, other come out focused with a lot of tape.

He is responsible. How can a team ranked 1st in defensively before Saturday now give up 15 3s in each of the last two games? It is not the COVID pause. Too many teams who have had pause have like Tech, FSU and Villanova have shown it shouldn’t put you in that much of a down spiral.

You’re right. He’s only had 11 years.


Jan 21, 2021, 9:39 AM [ in reply to Please explain how this is on Brownell*** ]

How can we possibly hold him accountable for what happens on the court.

Give him time, people. C’mon man!!!!

I mean...after 47 years in Washington, we’re just now expecting wonderful things from Joe Biden.

Think about that! Brownell is pretty much still a baby.

Inconsistent? Nope. The Tiger Basketball team does this every January. Very consistent. When does baseball begin?

We are only a fews games above .500 since 1911, better over the last 40 years. But really not a program to get excited about. Footabll, soccer, and baseball much better.

The TO killed us... but then again when every bucket is falling for the other guys, things get forced.

That being said, you don't lose many games when shooting 50% from the arc.... unless the other team is shooting 62%. Big men do even have that %.

Call it a ACC road game and move on. Devoe had one of "those" games.

It appears to me that this team lacks the basics of the sport. Square up with your man defensively so less likely to get beat off the dribble. No excuse for the turns - poor and weak passing. When does a coach not handle someone who simply sits in the corner waiting for an open shot? And scores 20+ ? And that's how Hemmingway should be used. Not at the top of the key where he can't handle the ball and he's terrible defensively, but he got lots of minutes. I just don't see the effort or execution let alone coaching adjustments.

GOOD LORD AT ALL THE COACH NAISMITHS IN THE HOUSE. DID YOU MISS THE FIRST 10 GAMES WHEN WE WERE BEATING FSU AND PURDUE AND NCS AD GIVING UP 50 A GAME. THIS IS STILL A GOOD TEAM THAT JUST HAS GOTTEN INTO A FUNK AFTER THE COVID SHUTDOWN FOR WHATEVER REASON. BUT HEY SLIDE ON THAT WALMART CLEMSON T AND TELL US MORE. PLEASE.

The administration has everything they want in Brownell He will be there for many years to come I quit watching several years ago at age 73 and a passionate Tiger I could not handle the beating# 1 and losing to # 75 Just the moment you think he is taking off we flop and het embarrassed We can’t get former players sons to come for that and some other reasons Brad Bowden should be his name

No, he's not.....

I once had a school teacher who told me that I was a nonconformist. I said "No ma'am, I'm not. Since a nonconformist by definition must conform to the conforms of nonconformity, I am therefore a conformist".

As for Brownell, he is consistently inconsistent, therefore he is consistent.

Way too heavy for me to read this early in the morning.

But, sadly, you are exactly right. The movie plays the same every year. Coach well for a goodly stretch, get everybody's hopes up that this is the year, and then, like Lucy, yank the ball away at the last possible second, or even before. Truly Tommy Bowdenesque.
