Coach wasn't impressed by the turn-out, stating there must have been a golf tournament or evaluation of 7th round offensive linemen in town that people prioritized higher.
I'm voting fair. No, I wasn't there. I know my reasons, and I'm sure plenty of other people have their own. But coach is justified in his frustration. For five years, he's built the program and fan interest to the point we actually had a good home court atmosphere. He's frustrated that coming right off a Final Four he sees empty seats and doesn't hear an enthusiastic fan-base at home. He knows that atmosphere is important to the continued progress of the program, both in terms of game day effect, and in recruiting.
To play devil's advocate to my own point: this isn't a team that is driving a lot of excitement into the fans right now. Losing Dozier and Felder hurts. Losing out on priority recruits hurts. (How does a guard from Irmo end up with Andy Kennedy in Ole Miss?) Fans don't have a lack of interest in the program. Fans are afraid. They are afraid to pour the emotions, time, and money into yet another Gamecock program that seemed to be moving in the right direction, only to watch them fall apart.
Still, I don't blame Frank. If I were him and doing what I could to build things, I'd be frustrated when the fans disappeared at this juncture.
