Commitment to basketball success

That was my impression too. Then Paul shared his version of the story with me.

Wow drad sucked even more than I thought, which I didn't think was possible.

OMG - if that is truly the case I am beyond apoplectic
I can actually understand Braine's thinking on putting Hewitt's contract together. This decision - if true - by Radaman is unbelievable. My only doubt is I can't believe Clemson would hire him if they knew this was one of his decisions. God knows I wouldn't.

LazyAD was lazy and didn't give af about hoops.

Bobby was successful because he spent almost all his time on one or two players each year. H3e also started on them very young. Since they could not leave for the NBA he was able to put great teams together. He could sell ice to Eskimos, but he still lost quite a few - Abdul-Rahim and the center from Savannah come to mind. When players could leave early, the desire to be students left the outstanding ones, the recruiting one or two per year no longer worked and Bobby had to change his ways. That did not work out as well.

Was it drad or was it just hewitt's decision?

Not really sure what you're asking. It was Paul's decision to stay or go, just like any coach.

That said, their reasons for wanting to leave or ultimately stay can be influenced.

I don't think anybody "knows", not even myself. I got one side of the story. But the anecdotes, including supposed quotes from DRad to convince Hewitt to stay and ultimately what was shared at his termination, are Gregorian.

No argument about that but he did care about his balance sheet and sending Hewitt to NY got rid of a huge liability. Easy to spend less and keep everyone happy

Beyond idiotic decision even if he didn’t know we had a basketball team

Lazy at figuring out finances also.

the center from Savannah come to mind.

"Never Nervous" Pervis Ellison, who ended up going to Louisville and became the #1 pick in the 1989 draft.

Thought this was worthy of a post and needed a place to put it.

Pretty sad when the players feel like the fanbase is against them.
