Hell, how did LSU not advance past the Sweet 16 with him?

This is probably a more fair question Stro. We absolutely should've made two while he was here and probably 3.

I think we got screwed in the seeding process his last year with a 7 and therefore had to play Indiana in the second round. But the flip to that is had we played to our potential in the regular season or maybe Dale doesn't try to assault a player in the SEC tournament we earn a better seed and control our own fate.

Two things: First, one person does not make a team. There was little and no team chemistry. What winning they did do, they did in spite of themselves. There was plenty of talent there, but there was also the primadonna effect.

Second, Dale Brown was good at coaching underdogs, but seemed to have difficulty coaching talent and molding it into a team.

There was a lot of rumbling back at that time about Shaq's step-father being somewhat of an interference with Brown, but I can't back that up so it has to remain rumor.
