i love WimpPosted on 4/26/22 at 5:33 pm to RumHam
Wimp was awesome and he had Bama hoops in a very good place. I'll always wonder what he could have done at Bama in the middle 90s if he could've just kept his pimp hand in check. If David Hobbs (who never got another head coaching job after Bama) could have a couple of 20+ win seasons and make 2 tourneys you can't help but think Wimp would have wrecked shait.

Indeed. And Chris Jackson is the best player in LSU MBB history.

Just think what LSU had those three years … Shaquille O’Neil, Stanley Roberts, and Chris Jackson on the same team for three years. Only Dale Brown could coach that team to a best finish of third in SEC twice.

I hear you but they were only on the same team for one year. I believe that was Shaq’s freshman season

Yep, it was both Shaq and Roberts’ freshman year.

They only played 1 year together. That was Roberts and O'Neil's 1st year and Jackson's last. Roberts was at LSU for only 1 year. Shaq played 3.

If only Wimp had met the press out on the steps of Coleman Coliseum after the incident and said, "I told that women that if she said one more cross word about Coach Bryant...." he'd have kept his job.

Wimp was a helluva coach. And he was a playa too.

Those were some battles between Daddy Dale and Wimp.

Jacknola is an idiot in addition to being obsessed with LSU. O'Neal was the only one to play three years. LSU finished 2nd his freshman year, tied for first is soph year, and 2nd in the West his JR year.
Oh,Jacknola is stupid,too.

Shaq only played with Chris Jackson and Stanley Roberts for one year when he was a freshman in the 1989-1990 season. Jackson and Roberts both declared for the draft in 1990. Roberts only played for LSU that one season as he was academically ineligible to play when he and Jackson were both freshmen in the 1988-1989 season. Jackson only played for LSU for 2 seasons. Shaq didn't really become one of the best players in college basketball until his sophomore season when Jackson and Roberts were gone. LSU won the SEC regular season title that year in 1990-1991. They did, however, have early exits from the NCAAT all 3 of Shaq's seasons and the seasons where LSU had Roberts and Jackson.
Not really sure where you're getting they played together three seasons or that Shaq's teams never finished higher than 3rd in the SEC. The one season those three played together they finished T-2 in the SEC at 23-9 overall and 12-6 in the SEC. They were ranked #19 at the end of the season. A second round exit in the NCAAT wasn't ideal but not some travesty.
While Shaq was at LSU, LSU finished the SEC T2 twice and won the SEC once (Kentucky was on probation in 1990-1991, so State and LSU shared the SEC title as Kentucky was ineligible). They choked in the NCAAT.

Wimp was the best Basketball coach Alabama ever had, firing him set the basketball program back to now

His predecessor was pretty darn good.

CM Newton was amazing, brought Alabama into integrated NCAA, and had Alabama positioned pretty much top tier in SEC, just behind Kentucky, battling Vandy and ahead of Tennessee.
Perhaps CM’s best team got screwed out of a tournament appearance (when only 24 teams made the tournament) because of a technicality. He did win 3 or 4 SEC reg season titles in 11-12 or so years (don’t feel like looking data up).
During CM’s tenure, at least while I was there, Wimp was his assistant coach. We students loved to watch Wimp turn red on the bench, look like he was having a stroke, and try to eat a towel while CM cooly crossed his legs and leaned back, hands behind his head.
And for some of you LSU people blathering about a period in SEC history you likely know little about, in 88-89, LSU finished 4th in SEC, Chris Jackson MVP. In 88-90, they finished tied for 3rd/2nd, Chris Jackson MVP, and In 99-91 they finished tied for 3rd/2nd. They did back into a piece of a SEC championship when the winner, Kentucky, was found guilty.
My point was… Dale Brown was a great recruiter, a lousy coach and not a very good role model as a person (bugging the room where the NCAA was interviewing players during an investigation …really? WTF?)… LSU probably should have dominated those years.
