dale brown did more for lsu with promoting the university, elevating basketball program to a high level,motivated all the athletic programs,

Dale did alot of good things for folks in need and has done countless charitable and commendable acts..many more than I'll ever do in my lifetime.

But he also has another side and that can be as ugly as the good stuff is goo.

One thing..it was never boring. Like Manny being Manny it was Dale being Dale.

All the drama and BS got very old for me but for those who were good with that..hey, bless 'em.

Dude get a clue. In 1978 Kentucky was the bullies of the SEC they had the other schools,referees and the SEC office totally intimidated they did whatever they wanted and no one stood up to them until Dale Brown began doing it when he got to LSU. I saw those teams play and can tell you Mike Phillips was without a doubt the dirtiest player to ever play in the SEC and Rick Robey despite his New Orleans catholic school league background was not far behind. Dale challenged them and wouldnt stand back and keep his mouth shut with their arrogant crap he called them on it. That is why they hated him so much. He also ended up as the coach who beat Kentucky more than any other coach in history and beat them by the biggest margin at Kentucky ever. One of my best memories was when early in Dale's tenure LSU was getting screwed at Kentucky and the officials were letting Kentucky get away with everything. Finally Dale had enough and walked out on the court and threw his jacket on the Kentucky map at center court. Also in the 2nd LSU-KY game in 78 in Baton Rouge LSU beat the eventual national champion in OT with all 5 starters fouled out. Dale made LSU basketball!!!!!! Give him the credit he deserves. He stood up to those arrogant pricks and LSU became a force from the late 70's through the early 90's thanks to Dale.!

Guy might have saved himself some grief if he would have just admitted it..

Dale Brown to a reporter: "Have you ever masturbated?"

This topic comes up from time to time. I thought I'd seen you address it before. In any event, specs1 always chimes in with some highway patrol story and claims Brown was a lousy guy or some such crap. When Dale came to LSU, the program was in the toilet. He went from high school to high school hanging purple and gold nets and trying to build interest in the program. You need only look at how he handled the Lester Earl apology to know what kind of guy he was.

In terms of the Kentucky quote, Kentucky threw elbows right and left. They were a big burley team, especially Roby and Phillips. The reporter's question was no question at all. It was an accusation. It was an implication that LSU played basically the same way. LSU didn't. Brown resented the UK thuggery, and he resented the implication. It was a ridiculous question. Brown's answer was a classic pissed coach's response. Not appropriate if left to stand out of context by itself; but in context, it was understandable.

Thanks LSU92 and yea the 87 game was what I was referring to. Until Gillespie arrived that was Kentucky's biggest loss ever at home. If I remember correctly back in Dale's first year Joe B Hall's no class self left his starters in until the very end and beat LSU by about 32. At the coaches handshake Dale told Joe B that one day he was going to come in to Rupp and beat Ky worse than they just beat LSU. In 87 he did it! Not to mention several other arse kickings Dale gave them such as 81,82 and 83 in Baton Rouge.

There are some clueless guys on here some probably think Chris Jackson was a better point guard then Ethan Martin!!!!!!!!

Let's see...the original poster of this thread is Speedy...with a 31 year old "story".

And, and...did ya hear about, about when Pete Maravich missed a jump shot in 1968? !!?? And, and when, when James Naismith (look him up) used a peach basket instead of nylon nets when he invented basketball?
