I have no problems with Daddy Dale in the big picture. But I do hold the collapse of his program against him, as he let everything he had worked so hard for fall apart. But I still laugh when I read about him calling out the NCAA, at one point calling them Nazis. He cheated as much as any other big time program, so he should have just kept him mouth shut. I knew John Williams' money man in Lafayette & Williams was not the only big name recruit he was paying off. The owner of Lafayette's biggest Ford dealership was also in Dale's loop, and many got either a fake job or car. Dale's assistant coach, Abernathy, recruiting Chris Jackson, had a briefcase full of cash stolen from him in Miss.Sure, that was expense money he had yet to put in the bank. As a person, I admire him greatly. As a basketball coach, not near as much tho he was good for the program overall.
