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

Some can say he put LSU basketball on the map while others would point out he had both Shaq and Jackson and still couldn't win a title

It's actually both.

Dale should get immense credit for lifting LSU basketball from the dead, and keeping us nationally relevant for a 15 year span. That was a hell of a run.

But he also failed when he had a lot of elite talent. He was best with good, but not great, players and could motivate them to overachieve. But when he had studs (Shaq, Chris Jackson, Stanley Roberts, along with several very solid role players), he couldn't get it done.
