re: Hypocrisy of those who denigrate Dale Brown's accomplishments

"he was not very good"
Earl had his talents, but scoring outside 2 ft was not one. The guy could run up and down the court all night, jump out of the gym, protect the rim, dunk with the best, and he played hard as anyone.
Everyone wanted Earl out of HS and he played a lot of ball at Kansas. To list him as some kiinda talent evaluation screw up is a mighty big stretch. IMO
Randy was an amazing point guard and his loss to LSU as a leader on the court was a massive blow to the program at that point in time.

The day Livingston blew out his knee was the day the music died for LSU basketball. He was good enough to team with Ronnie Henderson along wit Jamie Brandon and Clarence Caesar to lead LSU deep into the tournament. They were a bit undersized but Livingston just had that it factor. Too bad we only got a brief glimpse of his magic.

All I can tell you is it was obvious in the few games he did play with us he was a very good athelete who was very limited as a basketball player and his career at Kansas further punctuated that. He would not have helped Dale had he stayed. Alot of folks evaluated him as better and they missed the boat on him too.

I interpreted your point to be Dale may not have slipped had Randy been healthy. My take is yes they would have. The contingency talent he used to stockpile to overcome such things was no longer there.
Folks knew you could send tapes of yourself diving all over the floor and Dale might sign you. Or a 7-footer from Yugoslovia who was offered a schollie sight un-seen and ends up getting here and being 6-5.
Got an overinflated sense of his motivational and coaching skills and let the depth slip to the point that it got really ugly at the end. Earl would not have made that last team much better at all.
