Clemson Coach Brad Brownell Revives Old-School Platoon Strategy for ACC Tournament Edge

Clemson coach Brad Brownell implemented a rarely-seen old-school platoon substitution strategy in their ACC Tournament victory over Wake Forest, aimed at keeping players fresh and energized.

This system, where all five players are substituted at once, has been used by Brownell before and is lauded by players like Jake Wahlin for maintaining high energy and wearing down opponents.

Despite the injury to Carter Welling, Brownell’s confidence in his deep roster to maintain performance without a significant drop-off highlights Clemson’s strategy as they push for a third straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
