About Dale Brown (basketball)
Dale Duward Brown is an American former college basketball coach. He was the head coach of the LSU Tigers for 25 years, and his teams earned Final Four appearances in 1981 and 1986. Brown is also remembered as one of the most vocal critics of the NCAA, saying it "legislated against human dignity and practiced monumental hypocrisy." During his senior year, he posted the highest scoring average in state basketball history and also set a school record in the quarter mile. While there, he served as head coach of the basketball and track teams in Fort Riley, Kansas; which both won championships. In spite of the publicity, however, LSU finished 10 games under.500 during Maravich's tenure (including a 10-16 record in his final season), with only two winning seasons, no NCAA tournaments, and only one NIT appearance in six years. Brown had a winning record in his first season at LSU and he was voted as SEC Coach of the Year.
