Former UK guard Dale Brown, a starter on the 1993 Final Four team, is now coaching Dillard University, a NAIA school in New Orleans.
Brown is seeking to play Kentucky in an exhibition game this upcoming season. His cash-strapped program needs the funds from such games to keep afloat.
Brown has already spoken with former UK teammate John Pelphrey, now the Arkansas coach, about an exhibition game. And he’s lined up an exhibition with South Carolina, coached by Lexington native Darrin Horn.
Now Brown would like to add exhibition games with UK and Ole Miss.
Good luck to Brown, a good guy facing a Herculean task of building a basketball program at Dillard.

I love hearing about ex-Cats and their careers after playing days. I hope he gets the game against our Cats, always nice to see former players on the sidelines as coaches (there are quite a few). I think I speak for all of Wildcat nation when I say…Good Luck Dale.
Jerry,
Just a point about word usage: the article an should precede the letter n when the latter is used as a letter, such as in NAIA, because the initial n is pronounced as “en.” So, it should read–”an NAIA school.”
Wow! Brown has a tall task but he’s taking it head on knocking on “big doors” for results. You gotta like his determination…..
[...] Tipton also reports that ex-UK player Dale Brown would like an exhibition game with UK. [...]

i think we should help him out as well, guys should know if they come here we’ll help them try to go to the next level or even be a coach if that’s what they want to do
as far as the “good guy” comment, that’s laughable, dale’s a jerk, i don’t know how he’s coaching, but i still wish him well
BROWNI THINK THAT COACH CAL SHOULD GIVE DALE ,AN EXHIBITION GAME THIS YEAR.IT WOULD BE A GREAT TUNEUP FOR UK .HE PLAYS A RUN,PRESS AND SHOOT STYLE OF PLAY,WHICH IS A PITINO LIKE SYSTEM.DALE WAS THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER UK HAS EVER HAD IN MY OPINION,LOCKING DOWN NUMEROUS OF NBA PLAYERS……ALAN HOUSTONS,SPREWELLS,THE SAM CASSELLS AND THE LIST GOES ON.THIS IS THE LEAST UK COULD DO FOR HIM.GOOD LUCK TO YOU DALE AND I PRAY TO GOD,THAT U RECIEVE MORE SUPPORT AND HELP FROM YOUR FORMER TEAMMATES, THAT ARE IN HIGHER PLACES.I USED TO PLAY WITH DALE AT THE SEATON CENTER,BACK IN THE DAY.GOD BLESS U MAN,KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
One of my all-time favorite players. Big-time shooter
This is wonderful! I hope he gets the desired exhibition games in order to help the Dillard program. There should be no place without basketball and the tremendous tributaries of the Kentucky connection can do wonders to help that dream. Exciting!
