Regardless of Brown and how anyone feels about him court naming is tacky. You wanna name an arena, that’s pretty cool but the court is already in a named arena, naming the court comes off as desperate

welcome to Skip Bertman Field at Alex Box Stadium.

Pretty sure that decision was unanimous amongst every Tiger on the planet.

One thing i have always loved that LSU does, and sometime don't love it, is they reserve special honors like jersey retirement and rings of honor for extremely special individuals. We all have a list of football players we think should be in the stadium, but they aren't b/c the list is extremely exclusive, same for basketball, same for baseball.
Only 4 baseball players have their jerseys retired, and we have one of the most prestigious programs in the country.
Only 3 football players have their jerseys retired for a program that has the 16th most wins all time.
Only 5 basketball players have their jerseys retired, and 2 womens basketball players.

all 14 of those athletes were unanimous decisions to have their jersey retired, same with naming Skip Bertman Field, and i'd bet if the subject of any of those 14 or Skip Bertman Field were discussed on here, they wouldn't get rained with downvotes like Dale Brown Court has been getting downvoted and argued against.
