The first half of The History of SEC Basketball on the SEC Network last night (part 3) spent a lot of time discussing these 3 and I have a non trolling question for LSU fans. Why all the hate for Brown on the Rant lately, especially in regards to naming the court after him? He took LSU to more than one Final Four and really put the program on the map. He never won the whole thing but CM and Wimp never got to the Final Four and I don't think any Bama fan would object to their name being put on the building or court or whatever.
Or is it just a few fans on the Rant making look like it's a thing when it really isn't. Just curious, thanks.

CM Newton.
Meh, I won't say anything. Not sure what the deal is with the UK fan base.

He's kinda like LeBron in that he's politically outspoken and expects everyone to kiss his arse. Without those 2 things, they would both be much more celebrated.

Because Daddy Dale had Shaq, Stanley Robert’s, and Chris Jackson on the same team - and couldn’t get past the second round! Nobody could waste more talent than DB! SMDH

Wimp's name needs to be on an abused women's shelter.

Why the SEC has gone down in basketball
Say what you will but I miss the "colorful" days. I think Dale invented the Freak Defense, Wimp was a colorful guy, C.M. was all county boy. Fun times.

I'm wondering how much longer Adolph Rupp's name will last on Kentucky's home court. Not trying to start anything but even UK fans know its days are numbered. He was the Jim Crow of college sports.

I wish I could tell you man. Its very bizarre. I would like to think its because its just a few very vocal idiots, but I actually think a decent segment of the fan base hates Brown (his preaching can definitely turn people off). There also is no doubt he underachieved with several teams, but its also no doubt he over achieved with several as well. For me, I'm very appreciative as a student and then a season ticket holder (and always a fan), I got to see Rudy Macklin, Ethan Martin, John Williams, Jerry Reynolds, CJ (who for my money is the single most amazing college basketball player I ever saw in person; too young for Pistol), Shaq, etc. play up close and personal. No doubt Dale annoyed me quite a bit, but he certainly is BY FAR the greatest coach in LSU men's basketball, and second place isn't even in the vicinity.

There are a lot of “young” fans that weren’t even born when Brown was making magical runs. They make negative posts on here because they jump on bandwagon or don’t like Browns current outspoken nature. I was going to games in late 70’s and throughout the 80’s and witnessed all the amazing accomplishments. I also witnessed the epic fails. I have fond memories of it all and appreciate what Dale Brown did to make LSU fun and relevant during his years as coach. Good Luck Bama rest of season!

To answer the original question, there is a segment of Tiger Ranters who feel that Brown helped push Wade out because he was afraid of Wade threatening his legacy. That and the fact that he and Vitale are good buddies.

He did the least with the most. Ask Bobby Knight.
