The whole naming thing is a bit weird.
What if McMahon goes on to win 3 National Championships and feeds starving children in Africa while developing a vaccine for Cancer? And Mulkey becomes the all-time winningest WBB coach and ends Wokisms for the SEC.
Does the court then become Gunter-Mulkey-Brown-McMahon Court at The Maravich Center? LSU could play at the GMBM@tMC. It just rolls off the tongue.

I wonder if Skip Bertman ever thinks, man I didn't even need those five title to get the field named after me. I just needed to win an above average amount of games compared to the program baseline and go to the post season for the most seasons in a row in school history.

The only timeframe of lsu basketball where anything of national note was actually won predates all of these people.
I’m fine with naming the PMAC after Pete. He’s the greatest college bball player of all time. That’s worthy even without titles.
Everyone else ? It really should be Tiger Court

Hoping this isn’t true, Kim Mulkay will cause people to forget the name Sue Gunter.

Poor Engster, he has an article out there talking about the travesty it would be
There was another thread about the statues, LSU seems to have gone overboard with the basketball statues compared to other sports when from a team standpoint those honored have done more on the professional level than they did at LSU
No doubt Burrow will get a statue and at some point there are some baseball, softball and gymnastics and track and field that are deserving as well.

Hudson and Voogd both need to get behind Régis Koundjia.

LSU was one of the premier college basketball programs in the 80s and early 90s due to Dale Brown. They were one of the teams who got the big CBS/ABC made for TV matchups. They didn’t get a national title but they were contenders for over a decade. No other coach has come close to elevating LSU basketball in the way did. He deserves the court to be named for him.
In regards to Sue Gunter, she never really accomplished anything at LSU. Sure she had a bunch of wins, but she never even had LSU sniffing the top. It wasn’t until she moved aside and let Pokey take over that LSU became a national power.

The court does not need a name at all.

Even if that was true (which is debatable because it is essentially ONLY opinions of gradation with no objective criteria), it doesn't warrant the playing surface bearing his name. What LSU did with sticking Brown on the Court doesn't really fit the mold of what other programs do. It's a ridiculous precedent and was a solution posed to a problem no one really had--namely, why isn't the Court named after Dale Brown? Outside of Brown's acolytes, no one would have objectively looked at the LSU program and said, Brown merits his name on the Court. I would have figured allowing him to install Johnny Jones against all reason paid our debt to him in full.

Here is Culotta today talking about Tiger Rag writing an article about it a few weeks ago and that President Tate is on the verge of flipping his support to rename it Gunter-Brown Court.

Anyone here can tell you I'm no Dale apologist - not even close - but that Indiana team was much more talented and LSU outplayed them the whole game.
Yeah, Dale's really did blow it at the end going four-corners effectively taking Nikita out of the mix (Indiana could not stop him) but Fess hits those free throws or any number of other very fortunate things that went the Hoosiers way that day and a very undermanned Tiger team beats a much more talented Hoosier squad.

There is nothing debatable about LsU being one of the premier programs in the 80s and early 90s. LSU still holds 3 of the top 5 paid attendance records for NCAA basketball. LSU was the program in 4 elite 8s in 10 years. 2 final fours. A Rudy Macklin broken finger away from a championship in 1981. A Bobby Knight technical that should have been called away from getting to play a final four in New Orleans and likely winning it,
