MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Former longtime Louisiana State University men’s basketball coach Dale Brown is having basketball courts named in his honor in his North Dakota hometown of Minot.
The Minot Daily News reports (https://bit.ly/21P6krf ) that an Aug. 20 dedication ceremony is scheduled at the courts at Hammond Park. The ceremony will include the unveiling of a monument honoring Brown.
Brown plans to attend the ceremony. He says “every time I return to my home state I can feel my roots beneath my very feet.”
Brown spent a quarter century coaching at LSU. He retired after the 1996-97 season as the winningest coach in program history, with nearly 450 victories. He is a member of several halls of fame.
