Indiana then came out strong in the second half and gained great momentum. Brown should have used a timeout or two right then and there to try to turn things around. I was screaming at the TV for Brown to call a fricking time out!!!




“It didn’t look good. In fact, my assistants had just about given up, and so had I. Then I looked down toward the other bench, and I saw Dale Brown standing there. I knew then that we had a chance.”

The fact the court was named after him, the process by which it happened


It's pathetic how so many race to kiss "Dicky V's" arse. He said something on a national tv broadcast (out of ignorance), and the athletic department proceeded to placate him. It's almost as if they sold their souls for "positive" national public relations.

Can we just take the assembly center down demo the whole thing and rebuild it to something state of the art and new. It’s way past time for it to go.

When it’s rebuilt don’t name anything in the building after a coach or a player.

You run out of room and things to stick someone’s name on. It’s dumb. You’re gonna lock up a building or a court to a name for forever and there will be an infinite number of greater players or coaches in the future who do more and achieve more.

Well, he did end his career as the 2nd winningest coach in SEC history behind only Adolph Rupp…..so……there is that.

Shaq was national player of the year. Maravich is the only other one we have.

My question about the naming. Whether Dale or Sue.

What do you do when someone finally actually wins something?
If Kim stays she will pass them both. What then.

Rewarding mediocrity is not honoring. It’s pandering.

There is only one floor.

It should not be named for people that just were here a long time but were mediocre in their accomplishments. There are a number of those people. Dee Dee. McClendon etc.

And whining about “what did Shaq win” is about beyond retarded.
He won everything you can except a national title and that’s because dale was mediocre. And Shaq doesn’t have the floor named after him.

They should just have a hall of famous coaches with statues. You can put Sues in there.

Let’s be honest. Nick Saban deserves more recognition at LSU than either one of those two.

He built it and is still the best ever at LSU.
It's not Dale's fault the Bar is so low for LSU basketball.
