As I’ve already noted elsewhere (coughshamelessplugcough), I give it to Donahue by a slim margin over Brownell, though both are good hires. Bz is a meh hire at best.

Bzdelik is not a bad hire
I think all three schools did decent. Donahue is the guy I want for BC though.
I've got to go Brownell
He’s a solid coach and just look at how much UNCW fell off the map when he left. He built Wright State from nothing (being perennial runner-up to Butler isn’t bad), and will have more resources at Clemson than Donahue at BC.
Though Donahue, if he can recruit, I think has a chance to really position BC as an annual top-6 team in the ACC.

What basketball resources does Clemson have that BC doesn't?
IPTAY raises less money annually than the Flynn Fund and Clemson almost always played in the ACC Tournament play-in game when the ACC consisted of nine teams

Before the dark times...before the Expansion.
We called the play-in game the “Clemson Invitational.”

Littlejohn Coliseum is a nicer facility than Conte Forum. Let’s be honest .. Conte Forum is a hockey-first arena. That being said, that’s the only thing I can think of that Clemson has on BC. Clemson basketball was sucktastic before Purnell showed up.

What even makes LittleJohn nicer than Conte?
Yes they have had better attendance recently and it seats more to begin with, but it is an unusally shaped basketball arena itself. I think everyone is just very negative on BC basketball right now
