ATLANTA — Clemson University men’s basketball’s head coach Brad Brownell has been named a semifinalist for the Werner Ladder Naismith Men’s College Coach of the Year award, announced today by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. Brownell is one of 10 total coaches in the running for Coach of the Year honors.
Coach Brownell has led his 2017-18 Tigers squad to its 14th 20-win campaign and the team currently sits 20-7 overall and is tied for fourth place in the ACC (9-6). Before the season, Clemson was picked to finish 13th by the media. As it stands, a nine-place improvement from preseason to postseason would be the highest differential in ACC history.
