as an underachiever for the talent he had and don't forget he left the program in shambles.



I don't disagree that Coach Brown left things in a bad state with the Lester Earl debacle, but the '86 Final Four team greatly over achieved.

I saw many of Coach Brown's teams up close, talented and not so talented, and the biggest difference I remember in comparing his teams to Coach Joes' teams is defense. Dale's teams rarely played poor defense. Contrast that to Jones' teams where the ball is routinely dribbled to the front of the rim game in and game out even when they play zone.

Brown's overall record was one attracting some of the best talent anywhere over a long period of time and underachieving with it.
His courtside coaching abilities were at time embarrassing, BUT he was willing to delegate at times (Tex Winter).
The game is more competitive now, and signing a kid may get you only a year or two of his talent (instead of four), so coaching is at a premium in today's game.
