Best hoops coach since Dale.....

My only gripe is that you used his name with Dale, who pales in comparison when it comes in game coaching.

Dale could recruit. But Dale couldn't coach and he did not develop players. Wade can recruit and Wade can coach. Wade is and will be the best we have ever had at LSU.

I think Ron Abernathy coached brilliantly up until that Elite Eight game vs Indiana, in Cincinnati.

He was the brains behind those tournament runs. Dale was a great motivator, but he couldn't coach Xs and Os for shite.

I don’t doubt that he will be.


But you can’t put him above Brady yet. Wade just hasn’t done it yet.

For all of his faults, Brady Ball gave us some great times.


Anyone who disagrees just wasn’t around or paying attention back then.

Will Wade is our first real HC since Brady....

Say what you will, but Brady was highly respected by his peers.........

Whatever led to Brady's dismissal, suffice to say, is personal...........

Brady did so much with little support and respectable talent.........

1) Will Wade and the best is yet to come.......
2) John Brady......

Hell I'd put Harry Rabenhorst ahead of Dale Brown......

Brown did preach....

Brown did pontificate.......

Brown started to drink the perfume/cologne, instead of prudently applying it as recommended.......

Dale Brown led LSU Basketball down a "Dark Vortex" that is still a problem in LSU Men's Basketball, nuff said......

I guess Brown did fill a void and he profited by a Maravich Assembly Center, actually conceived by Press Maravich and built by Governor John McKeithen for the "interest surge" created by the mercurial and virtuoso named "Pistol Pete" Maravich!!!!!

One of our past editors, and owner of the Advocate, said and I paraphrase: Dale Brown needs to be roped in for his numerous questional behaviors.........and the editor went on to cite the most egregious offences, about 3 days after the infamous incident at the SEC Tournament involving Brown's pushing of a player from U of Tennessee named Carlos Graves...

Downvoted because dale sucked

He is the only SEC coach to have ever appeared in 15 straight national tournaments and only 11 coaches in NCAA history have made more consecutive NCAA appearances (10). Only the legendary Adolph Rupp of Kentucky has won more games in SEC history. Brown and Rupp are the only SEC coaches that had 17 consecutive non-losing seasons. Only 4 coaches in the SEC have won more conference championships, Adolph Rupp, Joe Hall, Tubby Smith, and Billy Donovan.

Only seven coaches in the SEC have led their teams to two Final Fours or more while coaching SEC teams. They are Dale Brown, John Calipari, Billy Donovan, Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino, Nolan Richardson, and Adolph Rupp.

On nine occasions Brown was selected as the SEC Coach of the Year or Runner-Up. He was twice chosen as the National Coach of the Year. In a 10-year span from 1977–1986, LSU is the only school to finish in the first division of the SEC. He has the distinction of beating Kentucky more than any coach in the nation

But by all means....keep saying Dale sucked....he was only a motivator....he didn’t know x’s and o’s. He’s more respected by his coaching peers- those who actually know what a real coach looks like- than segments of his own fan base. His exit was less than stellar and it does taint his legacy to a degree. But any one who can’t recognize his accomplishments just isn’t being honest. And I hope WW surpasses him, but he has an awfully long, long way to go.

Dale Brown couldn’t coach himself out of a wet dream. Great motivator and recruiter. Horrid coach.

He has an SEC losing record. Quit believing the big talk and hype.

In his first year dealing with a fired inferior coach's leftover depleted roster.

They were picked to finish last in the SEC because of Johnny.

You remember that when you inevitably come into a basketball thread with Johnny's cock still in your mouth.
