Dale Brown Blog

Dale Brown has a new blog where he posts many of the inspirational messages that he has delivered over the years. He also summarizes some of the books that he has read over time. Today, one of the books that are summarized is "Coming Back Stronger" by Drew Brees.
Coach Brown also lists his fifty favorite books which is interesting. Of course the books by Dr Vincent Peale & John Wooden are high on his list.
Whether you love or hate Coach Brown as a basketball coach, no one can deny that he is a good man and an incredible motivational speaker. He really has done so much for so many over his life. I am grateful that he chose to come to LSU and am happy that he has remained in Louisiana over the past 30 years.
Check out his blog at the link below....

While Coach Brown's coaching strategies were sometimes questionable, what isn't debatable was his ability to motivate a player beyond his potential.

+1!!
Coach Brown sent me some motivational materials and a signed Daily Bread book once after I had wrote him a letter. Still have the letter and book that he sent!

Great motivator? yes. Great coach? No way.

Not so fast, my friend...
No offense at all to Dale Brown, but have you ever heard Skip give a motivational speech? He has the ability to mesmerize an audience to the point where you want to go run through a wall for the guy.

I've heard both speak, though not in a locker room setting and I give the edge to Dale. More polished, more enthusiasm and a better speaking voice. Skip isn't that far behind though.

Getting a team motivated is part of coaching. He won two National Coach of the Year awards. We underachieved with Shaq, Jackson, etc., but we lost to a team in the tournament that also had three future NBA first rounders and a 2nd rounder. Both teams were loaded. Shaq and Roberts were only freshmen. And there were a couple of other years where his teams underachieved.
But before he got to LSU, they did nothing. They didn't even make NCAA tournaments when the Pistol was there. Dale Brown took LSU to 15 straight national tournaments. I think he's still the only SEC coach to ever do that. In that streak, he went to 10 straight NCAA tournaments. And they lost to the eventual national champions many times.
He turned LSU into a consistently good program when it was consistently bad before he arrived. Unconventional...sometimes going off the deep end...sometimes underachieving, but mostly good in a conference with the winningest program in the history of college basketball. I still think his record stands for giving Kentucky its worst loss ever at Rupp Arena (35 points).

Are you his agent or do you just work for the LSU athletic department?

if he drops some football predictions and recruiting updates, he might develop a following to rival the Dandy One.

your a POS for even putting Bobby Knight's name on TD.com #1
#2, get it right, it was the Elite 8 game that evil old POS Knight said it, not the final four game so therefore you totally suck as a fan.

Ole Miss has a basketball team?
Bobby Knight was a great motivator as well - his players knew that if they didn't perform, he'd try to strangle them in practice. It worked!

2nd winningest coach in SEC history, behind only Adolph Rupp. Beat UK eighteen times, gave them their worst loss ever at Rupp- 35 pts. Took LSU from nothing in BB to National Power. Thanks Daddy Dale.

I am not reading that blog unless its about Dale's quest to find Bigfoot.

I wish he would have motivated somebody to guard keith smart.
Posted on 8/6/10 at 7:53 pm to Rebel
or you know just take Jose Vargas out instead of letting him take terrible shots at the end of games.
Posted on 8/6/10 at 8:01 pm to Rollie Fingers
I would like to ask Dale if Tito Hortford has any eligibility left.
