Dale Brown
TN, US
Former Head Basketball Coach at LSU. Coached Shaquille O'neal in College
When Dale Brown arrived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in March 1972, he arrived with a dream that was perceived by many as impossible. He wanted to make LSU basketball a fan favorite and a nationally respected program. Most people thought him foolish or questioned his statements, but no one who witnessed his enthusiasm criticized his effort or tireless energy. Dale Brown's straightforward, determined approach, combined with his knowledge of the game, excellent recruiting skills and his positive philosophy made his dream a reality. Equally amazing is his 25-year career as the Tiger's winningest head coach. Under his guidance, LSU became the only SEC school to appear in 10 straight NCAA tournaments and 15 straight national tournaments. Brown now serves as a television basketball analyst and in his spare time is an author and motivational speaker. It's clear that Brown's success and longevity go hand-in-hand. A true believer in positive thinking and hard work, Brown is a testimony that anything is possible when you believe in yourself.
