CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -New Clemson basketball coach Brad Brownell says he was instantly drawn to the job as soon as he heard Oliver Purnell was leaving for DePaul.
Brownell said Tuesday he hopes to build on Purnell’s success, which includes trips to the NCAA tournament the past three seasons. Brownell says his expectations are high, although he needs to learn more about his players.
Brownell went 84-45 in four years at Wright State, leading the Raiders to a 20-12 record and a 12-6 mark in the Horizon League. Wright State was beaten by NCAA tournament runner-up Butler in the league championship game.
Before arriving at Wright State, Brownell coached UNC-Wilmington and went 83-40 in four seasons. Purnell was 138-88 at Clemson.
