Why shouldn't we be elite in basketball?


Jan 23, 2021, 4:55 PM

First off, I'll admit I've been a Brownall apologist. I watch the Clemson basketball team, regardless of the coach, with anticipation of greatness every year. Needless to say, it's been disappointing year after year for darn near 60 years, which is the same winning percentage Clemson basketball has had over those years (60%). The reason we have always been and always will be mediocre is because we look at ourselves as a football only school. Set higher goals. The football team is where it is because someone had a greater vision. Most Clemson fans could care less about basketball. I think the administration has accepted mediocrity in basketball because fans have accepted it. Mediocrity is where Clemson basketball has always been regardless of the coach. Mindset needs to change.

There is a difference between elite and competitive for an occasional championship in the ACC. While we did not win the ACC , there were many years, we held home court, packed the house and were exciting to watch.
It used to be thought that winning at Clemson was tough to do.
Miami, FSU, VT are all football schools and have won. Why not Clemson?

We have national exposure from football.
We have good facilities.
We have great school.

Time to change leadership.

Sometimes i wonder if that old rumor is true: that the acc made a deal with clemson elders that said we could be good in football but not in basketball. They were protecting UNC, Duke, NCstate, and maryland back then

Class of ‘71. Went through “rat season” and glad I did.

The administration and coaches run the show. They, not the fans, are to blame. They get credit when we win- mostly in football - and must take credit for the mediocrity in basketball.

Let the circle be unbroken ... I've read this post a hundred plus times on TNet for ten tears.
