Coaching? This is a repeat of Dale Brown coached teams. Dale could recruit. No doubt. But this is the same ole story with LSU Basketball
Don't even mention the 2 together. Do you know how many post season runs we had under Dale? Sweet 16's? Elite 8's? Final 4's? I'm not confident we'll ever even make the tourney under JJ. And the SEC is down. It was a much better conference when Dale coached.

It is absolutely ok to mention the two together. JJ played for him, coached for him and used his help to get the job which is all fine. But Dale pushed this hire because JJ is his guy and Dale has influence. And JJ's teams are so far no more prepared or disciplined than Dale's. Just like Dale's teams they win off of raw talent without player development and without sideline decision making.
At some point if LSU wants to have a legitimate chance to have a program that is a real threat to win national championships or play at a national championship caliber clip it will have to have a coach who can combine recruiting with great coaching IQ. We didn't have it with Dale and we don't have it now. All of the other clowns who have coached this team since Dale are not even worth the time to type their names.
Why are so many LSU fans willing to settle for such average to below average expectations of our basketball program than they are for Football or even Baseball programs?

Took Dale Brown 7 season to make the tournament.
It is easy to nostalgicly look at Brown's tenure as LSU's coach, but he did not finish with a winning SEC record till his 6th season. He did not make postseason play till his seventh season.
He had 3 straight years of making the sweet 16, but the other 22 years of coaching, he made it to the sweet 16 only 1 time.
Dale Brown was a great coach for LSU, but it didn't happen overnight. Why do we expect this to happen overnight? We are better than we were last year. And last year was better than the year before.
