I would like to hear from the people with brownell derangement syndrome....


Feb 10, 2022, 11:19 AM

Please state specifically how his in game coaching has lost us games this year. I keep hearing of all these awful in game decisions that he makes, but nobody adds any specifics.

One of the most hilarious complaints I heard was after last game, when our fans were outraged that the last play of the game was drawn up to shoot a 3 for our best 3point shooter percentage wise.

A coaches job is to put his team in a position to win every game. Many are upset that coach BB misses to many of those big time shots,

And a good coach's job is to put their team in a position to win without having to rely on a last-second shot or late friendly call from a ref. A good coach helps his team utilize the prior 39 minutes so they don't have to rely on a 50/50 prayer at the buzzer, and not feel obligated to single out a player who didn't perform well on one single final play that may have been the deciding factor while ignoring those prior 39 minutes and countless plays leading up to it.

Did you miss all the players transferring out and the inability to build ANYTHING so we are starting over every year?

Every team goes through scoring droughts. You don't watch enough basketball if you don't see it.

So, is it Dabo's fault if there are 10 or 12 men on the field? It's happened (and will continue to happen).

Transfers? Take a look around, man.

If 12 men on the field gave the other team points and advantageous field position, that would be a more apt comparison. Football also has a running clock for substitutions, while we literally did it with a stopped clock breaking a huddle in basketball

Yes, that was an error on brad's part. He owned it. Coaches make mistakes. That certainly was one. Was that the reason we lost the game? Do you know what the score was and the time left when that error occurred?

Please name specifically the games where we have had "10 minute scoring droughts"

Which players have transferred that have made a significant impact on a power 5 school? Only one so far that looks to be good is o-max, but he wouldn't have started at Clemson over Tyson this year. Do you think Brad has used the transfer portal to his benefit? Transfers are a part of the game. Every team has them. It's about how you use the portal. There is no doubt, Brad has used it to his benefit. Do you not agree?

Doubt that run was a 10 minute scoring drought. I still haven't seen any proof of this claim. If I had to guess, it doesn't happen all that often.

Re: I would like to hear from the people with brownell derangement syndrome....


Feb 10, 2022, 11:45 AM

Our AD doesn’t care about on court performance so why should we? Brownell isn’t going anywhere so what’s the point going game by game explaining how having 6 guys on the court, or subbing out our best defensive player for the last play, or not fouling when down with a minute left, or leaving Honor in to play defense late when we know he can’t guard anyone over 6 feet tall? Even if we were to give you 5-6 examples you’d just make some excuse or say “that’s only 5-6 games”, so who cares? At this point everyone has made up their mind and no one is changing it. Brownell could play walk ons the entire game tonight and lose by 50 and you’d say it wasn’t his fault. And he could coach an absolute gem and to the rest of us it wouldn’t make up for years and years and years of failure.

Many of the same people were against the firing of Tommy Bowden in football. You don't always hit a home run with a new coach, but if you don't try you keep getting the same thing year after year. Sometimes you get that walk-off homer.
Keep CBB or fire him... either way I just want our basketball games to be enjoyable to watch again. I am tired of yelling at a TV.
While they are at it... turn the camera angle so we can see the team benches during play. The current angle is just boring, and put the students behind the team's benches. It helps bring excitement to the viewing audience.

I think if we continue to flop this year, and we think we can keep pj hall from transferring, brownell should be fired after this season.

Brownell wins despite having lesser talent than most teams in the league. It's just a fact. He needs to recruit better, and if he gets fired, recruiting is the reason why.

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't disagree. The program needs some kind of schtick


Feb 10, 2022, 12:29 PM

like a coach with a big personality, coach with solid NBA ties, a young + up and coming coach, a coach known for developing big men (aka Cliff Ellis), or a coach with an OP like system that is somewhat gimmicky.

Brad is plain. His teams are plain. And while there can be beauty in simplicity, it also can be very ugly if results are poor.

I'm convinced we CAN have a competitive program, and we CAN recruit good players to CU. Not saying we'll ever be Kansas or whoever but competitive enough with good enough players to get to the NCAAs every 2-3 years and put dudes in the league with similar cadence.

It just ain't happening with Brad and it ain't gonna.

He's probably a good guy. He's probably a good coach. He simply isn't the guy for CU.

I coached BB at High School for 11 years. I'm not a professional coach. But I certainly understand basics to coaching and game planning. There have been many instances where we differed. I have the objective right to see it differently. if I was so wrong in my assessment, Brad would have proven me wrong. He has not. I truly wish he had. I'd love to be ranked #1 and know Brad knows more than me.

Derangement syndrome is the wrong terminology


Feb 10, 2022, 12:56 PM

exhaustion is more appropriate. It's been 12 years. Some really good moments, but basically, there is a pattern of the same type results, over and over. Most Clemson fans want a program that is elevated from where it's basically been its entire existence, some really good moments, but no real elevation to a program that is a consistent tournament team. After 12 years it should be evident Brad is not getting us to that point.

Who that person is I don't know, but I'm confident it isn't Brad, so you move on. You cannot worry about who may leave, we don't have the talent around PJ now to really elevate past what may be a really good moment. We've had those, but never an extended run. It can happen. Virginia was nothing before Terry Holland. Tech was nothing before Bobby Cremins. You look at where a Nate Oates has an Alabama, Drew has Baylor, there are many examples past and present of the right coach elevating a long dormant or historically mediocre program to an extended level of excellence.

We need to take the same attitude Dabo did with football, to paraphrase, it seems impossible, until it isn't.

Feb 10, 2022, 1:11 PM

Brad's winning % in games in 4 points games or less percentage wise is really bad like %30 or something that low since he has been at Clemson...

He has done three of the most emberasing things that a head coach can be involved with.

6th men on the court for technical which you never hardly see. It's not like 12 men on the field because how the game is substituted differently. Go back and watch when 6 men on the court technicals happen in college baaketball. You would have to go really far back.

He has called a time out when they had no timeouts left and received a technical in a loss to freaking Gardner-Webb.

He had the wrong substitution late in a key moment of a game in last second loss to Syracuse.

Oh, there is more but these blunders take the cake...

Oh also, Judge is that you?

Re: I would like to hear from the people with brownell derangement syndrome....

Nope, not judge no matter how much you want me to be. Why are you so obsessed with him anyways.

By my count, Brad brownell is 43% in 4 point games since he's been here. This includes overtime games. His first 3 years here he was 9-20. From 2013-last season, brownell is 34-34 in 4 point games

I also can think of a few things that are more embarrassing than what you mentioned.

Re: I would like to hear from the people with brownell derangement syndrome....


Feb 10, 2022, 1:54 PM

To the OP, I am not a Brownell hater. In fact, I don't think he should be let go this year because I don't want to run the risk of losing PJ and perhaps others, and also what appears to be a reasonably good recruiting class. That said, we are what we are with Brad - 17 - 20 wins a year. And since 5 - 10 of those should be near automatic, that sort of makes him a .500 coach in toss up or underdog games.

And to be fair, I don't think people sit around and keep records of 11 - 12 years of failures by Brad so they can respond specifically to your question. But they do know when they see the same things over and over. I went to the game the other night and turned to my friend at the end and said I was just glad they actually ran a real play that had a chance. Why did I say that? Because for years I have seen end of half and end of game chances frittered away in complete confusion, looking like his last instruction was "somebody try to score". I can't tell you how many times I have seen his teams unable to even take the ball in successfully in tight situations toward the end of a half or game. I don't remember any 10 minute droughts, but I religiously watch for 5 minute droughts because they are so common with his teams,, and usually see one if not 2 a game. Against UNC we went from the 9 minute mark of the 1st half to about the 18 minute mark of the 2nd and scored 6 points , I think, 3 or 4 of which were free throws, and went from around 10 up to 5 down. That was after a several minute drought earlier in the 1st half. And it happens virtually every game. No, he doesn't shoot the ball, but his job is to prevent that from happening. Just like not losing a 23 point lead to BC. Remember, his selling point has always been he is an X's and O's coach. He doesn't recruit well, although I will say this team has good talent. Of course that means to me the record should be much better than it is, particularly in a down ACC. Reasonably, this team should have 5 more wins than it does, including St. Bonnie, WV., BC, GT and Rutgers. When it comes to the end of the game, when we have a chance to win, I don't believe, and I don't believe anyone else believes, we will pull it out. There is just no confidence in him. 6 players on the floor, calling too many timeouts. Those go without saying. You can't tell folks to name specifics and then just say, "well everyone makes mistakes and he owned it".

But like I said, folks don't write it down to regurgitate it later. You just know it when you see it and you come to expect more of the same from Brad's teams.
