Dale Brown Court: ... and the Battle for Human Dignity
The biography of renowned former LSU basketball coach Dale Brown, focusing on his role as leader of the successful decades-long campaign to reform the NCAA rule book. Proclaiming for years that "the NCAA legislates against human dignity," his tireless efforts are today benefiting some 500,000 student-athletes per year across the United States โ making him a true national hero. A civil rights leader and humanitarian, Brown was finally honored when the LSU basketball court was named for him in 2021. The book solves the mystery of how and why the honor was withheld for many years by the deep state of LSU athletics. The winningest men's basketball coach in LSU history, Brown is the coach who first recruited NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal.
