Festus, everything you say about Brown off the court is true, but back then I wanted a basketball coach, not Mother Thersa. He's an incredible human being, no doubt about that. I remember a former player from back then telling me that Dale would bail Cookie Man out of jail time & time again when he returned to NY & that he was the father most of the players back then never had. So in that regards, he's legit. I just hated losing like we did so many times.

Loved Vernel Singleton and his snoopy bandaid. Somewhere in the attic is a poster with all the guys from 92 standing together. Poster reads "Dunk Mob Epsilon". Clever marketing like Phi Slamma Jamma.

Keltic, I agree 100%. I had grown tired of the letdowns and was looking for a change. Of course now, looking at where LSU basketball currently is, I long for the excitement he brought. I was definitely spoiled.

He really was like a father to many of the guys. I only know of one guy that to this day dislikes him, and he shares part of my screen name.
