Brown gets dumped on for his X's and O's, but he was better than most. It took guys like Bobby Knight and Denny Crum to outcoach him. In fact, when Brown didn't have loads of talent, he outcoached a lot of teams himself. He made an Elite 8 run with a pretty weak team if speaking of overall talent. Had Bobby Knight not intimidated the refs, and had one of our freshman made a front end of a one and one, we would have been playing in a Final Four in the Superdome. Indiana ended up winning it all that year.

Was Brown an all-time great X and O, no. But he wasn't terrible.

Freak defense, anyone??

My God this.

I would give anything to have JJ even in the same light year as DB in terms of coaching.

DB took MANY teams with less talent and pulled off annual upsets of better teams. Not to mention an NCAA streak of appearances that will probably not be matched again by any other coach at LSU.

Hell, I'd give anything now just to make the damn NCAA final 68, but that too is a long shot....AGAIN...
