Dale Brown did some great things at LSU, but come on. Name a weight room or a street on campus after him. Save the court for someone who truly deserves it.

Dale Brown lost me trying to sabotage Will Wade’s program. Of course as we found out, Wade could do a great job sabotaging his program by himself.

But no, Dale Brown’s name should never have been attached to that court.

It's like they thought they needed to name the court after someone and Brown was a good candidate.

But you don't need to name the court after anyone. Leave it unnamed unless someone's accomplishments are so phenomenal that naming the court after him is just obvious.

Lol. Les Miles Field makes more sense than Dale Brown Court and we all know Les Miles field will never, ever happen. This is Auburn naming their field after Gus Malzahn or Mississippi State naming their court after Rick Stansberry.

Don’t forget.. put us on probation.
Fired one coach for no ncaa sanctions. Names a court after one who did.

Tell me you weren’t around in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s without telling me you weren’t around then.

Give it ten years. It will be the Kim Mulkey Court.

If Dale Brown is your bar for excellence, then the bar is pretty low. He was a mediocre-at-best head basketball coach.

So where is the court located... inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center??? How many National Championships did Pete win? Yet they named a bldg after him.

I see what you're saying, but it you upset because Dale didn't win a natty but has his name on the court... the same could be said about Pete.

I am of the mindset that the Court should not be named after any Coach right now. shite if Kim Mulkey ends up winning 2 Championships here are we going to rename the Court to include her? So its a 3 Coach named Court? Stupid.

So it should be named harry Rabenhorst. If you talk sustained success then dale should have his name on the court. Basketball success is completely different than kentucky Kansas unc etc.

All courts dedicated to coaches who never won a national championship.

Coaching 2 final 4s might be good as it gets for MBB, I guess Pokey's 3 would get her name in except for "scandal" stuff
Maybe CKM's name on it in near future.
ETA CMM to CKM

He was not a good x and o coach. He was a good recruiter and motivator. He’s not at the same level as LSU greats Saban, Skip, and soon to be Mulkey

Most of you weren’t even born when Dale coached here… he was great at getting the most out of his talent when he led that 86 team to the final 4.
