Clemson men’s basketball coach Brad Brownell is already using some increased resources from Tigers athletic director Graham Neff to boost a program that’s had its ups and downs lately.
Since a Sweet 16 run in the 2017-18 campaign, Clemson has gone 69-53 with one NCAA Tournament appearance, one NIT bid and another season that ended after a first-round ACC Tournament win (the pandemic-shortened 2020 slate).
Neff sent a letter out to Clemson fans recently saying that the 17-16 record this past season “did not meet our expectations nor those of head coach Brad Brownell and student athletes,” adding that he has “an ambitious vision for Clemson Basketball” and that “aggressive investment must be present to achieve such intentions.
