1989-1990 LSU Basketball: What do you remember the problem being? by AlaTiger
If I recall right, the entire starting five on that team had a combined one year of college basketball experience. Chris Jackson had played the previous year, but all four other starters were playing for the first time. Shaq was a true freshman and very unpolished offensively, with a penchant for getting in foul trouble (fouled out a lot even though the SEC went to the NBA-like 6-foul rule that year). Stanley Roberts wasn't a freshman, but was playing for the first time after sitting out due to grade problems. I think Maurice Williamson had also sat out for grade problems and was playing for the first time. I forget who the other starter was.

NCAA Gestapo Nazis...and Dale was a great recruiter but lacked coaching skills as others have said, in the 1986 Final Four, Bobby Knight bullied the refs against us, and instead of trying to counter that, Dale let it happen.
Dale's a great man, a great recruiter, and a great motivator who could get his teams to play with the best teams in the nation. He lacked the ability to sustain the level of normalcy needed to guide a team through a full season for the most part.
That being said, a broken finger in 1981 stopped him from winning a national championship in my opinion.

I remember the starters being Jackson (1), Devall (0), Sims (2 or 3), Shaq (0) and Roberts (0). They were inexperienced, lacked leadership and played poor perimeter D. GA Tech's bigs were outclassed and helpless against Shaq and Roberts at the beginning of the game. GA Tech's guards killed us.
