Dale Brown Court: ...and the Battle for Human Dignity

"Dale Brown Court: ...and the Battle for Human Dignity" is the story of the fiery LSU basketball coach who led a successful 35-year campaign to have the NCAA change dozens of its rules that trampled on the rights and human dignity of college student-athletes throughout the U.S. Proclaiming "the NCAA legislates against human dignity," he pressed to change or eliminate rules that demeaned athletes and failed to provide for their basic human needs. He led an authentic civil rights movement that today is benefitting some 500,000 student-athletes per year - including women and minorities - in all 1,100 NCAA schools throughout the U.S. The winningest men's basketball coach in LSU history, Dale Brown is depicted as a role model of courage, tenacity and integrity - for this generation and generations to come. The book provides a behind-the-scenes look into the years-long struggle to have the LSU basketball court named in his honor: "Dale Brown Court." Read more
