That's not mediocre. I'm not calling him an elite NCAA coach, but he was nowhere near mediocre by any standard.

Would you rather someone that ubderachieves but brings in less talent, or a guy that always seems to overachieve with less talent. Of course everyone wants the guy that recruits great and is a great floor coach. But you gotta love Daddy Dale as an LSU fan not many football factories have a basketball followoing we do mostly due to him.

Not this BS again.....11 straight NCAA tourneys when college basketball was a hell of a lot better and tougher than it is now.
Dale's best team was 81 and they went to the Final 4. This so-called "greatest team" with Roberts, SHAQ and CJ were only together 1 year and they made the tourney.

I won't disagree that he underachieved, just that "mediocre" was too harsh a description of him as a coach.

Yet LSU fans have been waiting for 15 years for LSU to hire someone who can come close to his success. From 1978 to 1993 he competed with the best in the country often beating them.
Do you have any idea the type of basketball budget he was given in comparison to the national elites?
Do you think he was given the financial backing the LSU football program was given?
Do you think Dale's basketball budget was anywhere close to the budget of Indiana, Kansas, UNC, UCLA and some of the other big boys on the block?

What I wouldn't give for another "underachieving" basketball coach

If Coach Brown had such great talent, how come only Shaq was an NBA Star?
