Which is why I never said it wasn’t possible.
But you’re fooling yourself if you think it’s likely, especially on a consistent basis over the long term. ESPECIALLY when it comes to Clemson basketball, the red-headed stepchild of Clemson sports historically.
Using your lame example, Clemson basketball is a special needs dude competing against smart, handsome, successful dudes. You expect him to not only get a hot girl sometimes, but on the regular? LOL okay.
I believe our Clemson coaches should be given every possible advantage to allow them to excel. It seems that you don’t. That’s sad to hear.

Enough insight to see that you are equally stubborn to the opposite extreme. I don’t think anyone doesn’t want to give resources to the basketball program. I would agree it’s always been the red headed stepchild as compared to football. But complacency with what it’s been, accepting mediocrity is not in my vocabulary. We can and should be better. I don’t care if it takes 10 years. But if I’m looking at 9 in and don’t feel any better about where we are at it’s time to seriously think things through. I’m glad we have a clean program and agree that I prefer that over successful at the cost of our soul. But, I can’t accept that we can’t win those close games every now and then and win the games that we should. I’m not asking to be #1 in the conference. But a few spots higher and we are competitive. There has to be some give and take. We give a little resources, you show the investment is worth it and you get more. Dumping money chasing a loss in a bad investment is never the right investment. I’m not even saying Brad is a bad investment. But he’s been given the opportunity. Time, no past time, to show something. Another member mentioned that our boys have Brad’s back on Twitter. Well that’s just freaking great. Have his back when you’re down by one with one minute left to go. Have his back when you’re up by 10 with 2 minutes left to go. Am I questioning our players heart? Absolutely not, but I’m questioning Brads ability to motivate and bring out heart. Call me stubborn, fine. But you are equally stubborn for blindly backing a mediocre program. Maybe we get tshirts that say Clemson Basketball, Meh . . .

No right way of doing things, just different philosophies I guess.
I bet CBB and I are similar.

Brad said so.
I was told Clemson’s fan base is terrific combined with the other positives is what makes Clemson a great place… Brad said so.
I was told there was good talent in the program and that would allow the recruitment of more good players… Brad said so.
I was told that coaching is 100% responsible for the roster, its management, its players [or lack of] and their fits… Brad said so.
I was also told if his players would not quit, fight for each other & Clemson, then they’d be successful, yet with hope & prayer on the line, Brad’s team seemingly quit on him in Blacksburg, 70-58… Brad said so.
I know you, FM, to be a person of positives, choosing to promote the many superlatives. I believe Brad was a person cut from that cloth when he arrived at Clemson, so it seems counterproductive to Brad that an element continues to offer excuses for and/or poor attitudes toward a burgeoning University. Those few voices are doing Brad and the Clemson program no favors. Clemson tirelessly perseveres toward top of mind, is greatly extolled for a National Brand Awareness never before seen where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness as the Flutie effect et al. continue to drive the Athletic Department & Academia to never seen heights. It is an opportunity for all things Clemson to ride the crest of that wave, yet poor attitudes & excuses, which Dabo suggests are life’s only disability, continue in their attempt to drag Clemson & the basketball program down? In spite of all, in year 1 through years 9+, the staff’s mismanagement has been afforded reasons as excuse in lieu of that which Brad clearly articulated? As long as CBB is at Clemson, let's hope Brad remains positive and does not allow those few to walk through his mind with their dirty feet or he'll fall prey & his controllable issues will not be addressed.
If winners get sprinkles and they do, then because you’ve earned them, do you have your favorites, FM? Jimmies, nonpareils, quins, dragees, sanding sugar and/or course sugar?

Watching a person defend someone that: A) Does not need help. B) Never asked for help.
A guy who’s trained to fight doesn’t need a guy who’s not running his mouth in his defense. Let the pro take care of his business.

Judge, you talk like Clemson bb has never been good. I have watched Clemson bb for more than 55 years. Clemson has put some very,very exciting teams on the court. With some good officiating,they could have won any game against anyone in the ACC. fACT!

It's a sad thing that some like Judge never got to see Skip Wise play BBall, or even Tree Rollins. There have been others, but none like Skip Wise. He was the GOAT of CLEMSON BBall IMO. There might never be another like him in my lifetime.

In football we have been bad, good, really bad, great and right now really great. I would say over the years, it has been coaching. Basketball is no different. Great coaches go get players and coach up to win. Some even win a lot of games or at least be competitive most years. We need to go after winning players that can shoot.
