The LSU Board of Supervisors has voted to change the name of the Dale Brown Court at the Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge to include former women’s basketball coach Sue Gunter. Both coaches won over 400 games. Before their decision, former LSU baseball and basketball player Ben McDonald suggested to the board to name the practice facility or the scoreboard after Gunter…:

CUT 04(09)      “…another.”

The court will be re-dubbed using both Brown’s and Gunter’s names.
