Former LSU basketball coach Dale Brown

The LSU men's basketball team was blessed for over 2 decades to have Dale Brown as their coach. Always cutting edge, often controversial, and one of the best advocators and motivators anywhere, Dale Brown routinely made the impossible happen right before your eyes.

Brown's first Final 4 appearance in 1981 was of course cut short by Isiah Thomas and the Indiana Hoosiers.



Going into the consolation game that same week against Ralph Sampson and the Virginia Cavaliers, Brown had to come to the rescue of his star player Durand "Rudy" Macklin.



It was Brown's dedication to doing the right thing that made him far more than just your average, run-of-the-mill basketball coach.
