SportsTalk Rewind 4.29.11: Braves Report

April 29, 2011 by

All season long SportsTalk is committed to bringing you comprehensive coverage of the Atlanta Braves.  Our friend, Mike Morgan, of the Braves Radio Network, joins us to talk all things Braves.

AUDIO: Braves Report

Tonight’s report was a little less baseball, and a little more TMZ.  Sunday’s scheduled Starting Pitcher, Derek Lowe, was arrested for suspicion of DUI, and apparently taking his Porsche for a spin just a little over the speed limit in downtown Atlanta.  As if this weren’t enough of an off-field distraction, Pitching Coach, Roger Mcdowell, has been put on administrative leave for allegedly making unbecoming gestures towards some fans, earlier in the week.

Brad Brownell gets contract extension

April 29, 2011 by

Brownell led Clemson to the NCAA Tournament in his first year

Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips announced Friday that Head Basketball Coach Brad Brownell has agreed to a contract extension that will add a year to his previous contract and enhance his compensation package by 33 percent to over $1.2 million per year. His contract now runs through the 2016-17 season

“We could not be more pleased with what Coach Brownell and his staff accomplished in his first year,” said Phillips. “He did a great job assembling a tremendous staff. I have worked with a National Championship program at Arkansas and a Final Four program at Oklahoma State, and I believe this staff is as good as I have been around. I was impressed with Brad in every phase of the program this year.”

Clemson finished Brownell’s first year with a 22-12 record, including a 9-7 ledger in the ACC. He established Clemson coaching records for total wins and ACC wins by a first-year coach. His nine ACC wins tied for the third most in league history for a first-year head coach, and the figure was four more ACC wins than any other first year Clemson head coach. The .647 overall winning percentage was the best by a first-year Clemson coach since the 1920-21 season.
