t. He had Collis Temple go speak to President Tate when he was first hired at LSU about adding Dale’s name to the court. Collis told Tate that if you want to make good friends here, doing this will make you a popular man. Tate agreed to it

I think this is below Tate’s pay grade. The president of the university shouldn’t be worried about the name on the basketball court.

Were I Tate, I’d have basically told Temple: “Go talk to Scott Woodward and don’t bother me with this shite.”
