re: Hypocrisy of those who denigrate Dale Brown's accomplishments

While blowing that 31 point lead in one half was horrible, to me, there was one other game that Brown lost that is almost as bad if not worse. Playing Dominique Wilkins-led UGA, at the PMAC, LSU had a one point lead, had the ball under UGA's basket, with ONE second left. LSU player, not knowing the rule, threw the ball out of bounds at half court, thinking the clock would start, it did not. UGA got the ball back, quick pass to DW, who caught & shot in one motion at the free throw line, swish, UGA won. I am not saying DB was a horrible, worst ever coach at LSU. I am saying that there are valid reasons for disliking him, too. Give him all the credit for building LSU up but, too, he gets all the credit for running it into the floor.

Wilkins had left 3 years earlier. Somehow,someway with Dale Brown at the helm that team still won the SEC.

You got the game stuff right except Dominique Wilkins was playing in the NBA at the time. I was at the game and John Williams by the way one of the greatest players ever to play at LSU threw it in.Dumb mistake but I think Big John more than made up for it the next year in the 86 tournament run.
Dale lost some games he should have won but he also beat a hell of a lot of more talented teams as well. As far as Bobby Knights comment A. Bobby should have already been thrown out of the game and B. Bobby had a way more talented team than Dale that night and Dale had him on the ropes right to the buzzer so who outcoached whom?
