Heard this topic on a New Orleans station today. Just wondering what popular opinion says?

No. Maybe the practice facility.

Absolutely not. Give him a damn statue if its that important to someone but no way in hell.

John Brady Assembly Center

I like it. DB was by far the most successful LSU bb coach, the master motivator, and longest tenured coach ever. Why not? And do it while he's still living. And get his players back for the dedication.

They should name it after Pistol Pete...

Absolutely. The time is right. He was an icon and a positive, passionate coach and leader.

I would say no only because of the probation (which was bull shite). It still had very negative impact of the program for years. I say this, but stand by Dale and his accomplishments. It was one hell of a run. I'm still waiting for anyone at LSU to come close to his success. Guess what...it won't be happening for a loooong time.

Pete Maravich Court @ Pete Maravich Assembly Center

2 - Final 4's in 25 years. Hell NO!

I think that you may be waiting a long time to see anyone do any better at LSU - and though 25 years is a while, you might not realize where LSU basketball was when Dale Brown came on the scene.

How is this a reason to take Maravich's name off the building?

You don't change the name of the building just name the court. Ex. Lute Olson court at McKale Center

Great idea - Dale Brown Court @ the Pete Maravich Assembly Center
Needs to get done next year

I love Dale Brown but he never won a title.
Naming courts after people should be reserved for the following:
1) Championship coaches or players (maybe you could lump Shaq into this but he has the statue)
2) Beloved figures who die unexpectedly (i.e. Pete Maravich, Don Redden)
3) Figures who may have a connection to the program but distinguish themselves in other areas (i.e. Alex Box Stadium, Kinnick Stadium in Iowa - in other words, preferably military people.)
All that said, if we want to name the practice court or maybe even a street (maybe North or West Stadium Road) after Dale Brown, I think that would be entirely suitable and appropriate.
