He was a huge lsu basketball fan in the day. Brown catches a lot of shite but I believe he won almost 20 NCAA trny games, 2 final four (screwed out of third against bobby knight), 3 elite eights, at least, 5 sweet 16. Wade may overtake all of that, but after what, 4 years, he has 2 trny wins himself?

Well it is actually 3 tournament games, and hey you do remember one year they didn't have a tournament right? And we had one of our better teams that year. If they leave Will alone and let him keep coaching and recruiting there is little doubt that he will eclipse all of Dale's records and then some. That said I do appreciate what Dale accomplished. I was there for all of it and realize how hard it was to develop a basketball program in Louisiana. The man had his faults but he still did a lot.

Good points Tom. It's o.k. to like both...I'm not nor was i ever personally really a Dale guy, but I appreciate the memories many of his teams provided me - many great ones.

I would say both coaches took over a program at about as low a point as could be. A look at the first five years for each is a good point of comparison to start with.
