What should our average record be - overall and ACC, and frequently should we make the NCAA tournament. Lets assume 32 game seasons (that's roughly what we play with 2 ACCT games) and 18 ACC games to make it easier.
So for example:
21-11 (10-8), NCAA appearances 50% of the time.

For BB, I have zero expectations I haven't given it a dime's worth of thought. I assume that they are still playing and will complete the season in some form or fashion. I wish them well.

I’ve seen several posts where you have criticized CBB and or the program. Maybe you are joking or have memory loss...

That is one Clemson's biggest issues. Most Clemson folks like you care more about a practice ( spring game ) than an ACTUAL basketball game

I see it through a different standard that’s easy to follow...
Because the ACC is so heavy with these so-called blue bloods that buy players...the minimum expectation should be that we do not play on the first day of the ACC Tournament. That means we’re in the top nine of the best conference in the country, and are at least on the fringe of an NCAA bid. The new 20-game conference schedule should help that metric play out.

I think we should make it three every 5 years on average. One of those three years should be top 20 team that can advance far in the tournament. This is NCAAT I mean. I don't think thats asking too much. We are not doing that under Brownell. For those who see three trips to the NCAAT including last year coming. Explain to me where it is if we don't make it this season? This will be good...

We have never made it 3 of 5 so all of a sudden Clemson becomes a basketball school?

We did make it three times in 5 years. Barnes three straight years and Purnell in three straight years, and then Brownell did it the next year with OP's playere. There is your at least three out of 5 years

I believe that our goal should be to have a top 20 program.

That means being a fixture in the top 1/3rd of the ACC and the NCAA Tournament, ideally with the occasional contention for a championship.
For that to happen, a lot needs to change in terms of how our university views and prioritizes basketball. I realize that we have never done that in our history, but I refuse to believe that we aren’t capable of it. After all, we’ve never tried.

I want to contend for an NCAA berth every year.
I want to occasionally threaten to win the ACC.
For every blowout loss to a top team or loss to a team below us in the ACC, I'd like to see an upset of a team above us.
Other than that, I just want to see competitiveness.
If this weren't a Senior laden team which made the Sweet 16 last year, I'd be OK with where we are this season. As it is, I haven't watched many of the games and I usually watch every game.
Given the number of Seniors on the team, I expect us to take a step back next year.
I think it's unreasonable to not have mediocre results and then have to rebuild.
Finally, I'd like an explanation for why other teams hit career three point percentages against us.
Seems like if we could fix that, we would have several more wins every season.

Make 75% free throws. That will make a lot of difference.

We are shooting 73% as a team this year.

Not bad at all, and way better than we did under Purnell, Shyatt, Barnes, or Ellis.
Of course, I don’t expect the whiners on here to give Brad credit for improving our FT% significantly. Doing so would be at odds with the statements that he’s a horrible coach.

Go to the NCAA tournament at least 5 times every 10 years. Beat UNC in the Dome 1 time before I die .
Other than that I really don’t expect much .

I'd like to get at least to the round of 32 every 2-3 years. But, I am also thankful that we do not have a player missing the season because of the FBI investigation. We did not have a player miss this past weekend because of an arrest. Those two stats alone put us ahead of Miami and NCSU.
