I’d honestly just give the naming rights to Shaq. His millions in donations and brand equity far exceed anything other LSU basketball alums and coaches have contributed.


Without Brown there would be no "Shaq". Nor Chris Jackson.
If you want to compare, what LSU basketball prior to Brown. Its like LSU baseball prior to Bertman.
Brown has his flaws and he stayed past his time. But damn, before Dale Brown LSU basketball was nothing.

Under your reasoning, Press Maravich should have his name on the floor at the least.
No basketball before Dale Brown? I beg to differ. LSU played before a packed house all 4 years that Pete played. LSU was the most in demand ticket at any arena LSU played.....always before a packed house. And you say there was no basketball before Dale. that's a bad joke.
Sure, LSU didn't win any titles with Pete, he was strictly a one may show, but Dale Brown never won a title either and he had considerably more talent than Maravich ever had. Dale was a con man salesman and a terrible basketball coach. As much a I despise Bobby Knight, he had Dale pegged perfectly.

Holy shite. This is hilarious. Do we really need to compare the state of the programs during Brown/Bertman's tenure as well as how they left it? I can count FIVE solid reasons why you can't compare Dale Brown to Skip.
