PrintI thought it would be an interesting exercise to take a look at each of the new coaches in the ACC and their performance thus far. It's pretty clear that Steve Donahue is not only getting the most out of his players, but overachieving as well, with great wins over IU, Texas A&M, Cal, Providence and Maryland. Clemson has had a tough road, but have no bad losses (all to teams in the top 75 in KenPom, and all from BCS conferences). Brownell doesn't have much to work with as well, and has already signed his first 4* recruit. Wake, well we all know the story there.
Enjoy the rest of the stats after the jump...

We just have no shooting talent right now.
And the one talented shooter we had just transferred because he doesnt feel like playing D.
What bothers me the most is rebounding. With the #6 team in effective height, only getting 27% of offensive rebounds while allowing 32.7% is uncalled for.
I can live with the turnover rate. We aren’t going to win many games turning it over that much but the team is young and without a true point guard.
A big part of rebounding is effort and it is just not there. Combine that with the fact that they have a height advantage, and that is what is most depressing about the team right now.

Donahue isn't getting this BC team to over achieve.
He is getting them to play up to there potential, which is something Al Skinner stopped doing in his last few years here.
