People that are critical of BB just don't know anything about basketball . In fact I would venture to say a majority of Clemson fans know very little about basketball. I was checking into a Clemson hotel a few years ago to watch a game after driving across the state 4 hours to watch a game and the young lady checking us in asked our reason for visiting Clemson. I told her the basketball game. Her reply was "Oh they are playing today " ? That is typical of the majority of Clemson folks.
The Bottom line is I think Clemson fans know more about basketball than you think. The Botton line is that a single conversation with one lady checking into the same hotel does not constitute the typical, or not so typical Clemson folks. Now if you just talking about folks in general who live in Clemson, well you might have a point. But I know a lot of Clemson folks who follow basketball and are as frustrated about the basketball program as I am.
