Dale Brown Blog

While Coach Brown's coaching strategies were sometimes questionable, what isn't debatable was his ability to motivate a player beyond his potential.

Great motivator? yes. Great coach? No way.

"I was worried about losing until I looked down the floor and saw Dale Brown. Then I knew we had a chance." - Bobby Knight commenting Indiana's game with LSU in the final four.

Not so fast, my friend...

No offense at all to Dale Brown, but have you ever heard Skip give a motivational speech? He has the ability to mesmerize an audience to the point where you want to go run through a wall for the guy.

Getting a team motivated is part of coaching. He won two National Coach of the Year awards. We underachieved with Shaq, Jackson, etc., but we lost to a team in the tournament that also had three future NBA first rounders and a 2nd rounder. Both teams were loaded. Shaq and Roberts were only freshmen. And there were a couple of other years where his teams underachieved.

But before he got to LSU, they did nothing. They didn't even make NCAA tournaments when the Pistol was there. Dale Brown took LSU to 15 straight national tournaments. I think he's still the only SEC coach to ever do that. In that streak, he went to 10 straight NCAA tournaments. And they lost to the eventual national champions many times.

He turned LSU into a consistently good program when it was consistently bad before he arrived. Unconventional...sometimes going off the deep end...sometimes underachieving, but mostly good in a conference with the winningest program in the history of college basketball. I still think his record stands for giving Kentucky its worst loss ever at Rupp Arena (35 points).

if he drops some football predictions and recruiting updates, he might develop a following to rival the Dandy One.

your a POS for even putting Bobby Knight's name on TD.com #1

#2, get it right, it was the Elite 8 game that evil old POS Knight said it, not the final four game so therefore you totally suck as a fan.

LSU basketball would be Ole Miss basketball without Dale Brown, you can f**king Book That

Bobby Knight was a great motivator as well - his players knew that if they didn't perform, he'd try to strangle them in practice. It worked!

Like Castro being able to get his people out of a hurricanes way huh? People are gonna go if you put a gun in their face and tell them to evacuate

2nd winningest coach in SEC history, behind only Adolph Rupp. Beat UK eighteen times, gave them their worst loss ever at Rupp- 35 pts. Took LSU from nothing in BB to National Power. Thanks Daddy Dale.

I am not reading that blog unless its about Dale's quest to find Bigfoot.

or you know just take Jose Vargas out instead of letting him take terrible shots at the end of games.
