Am I the only I that thinks this rush to name the court/field after someone is stupid?

Make it stop not everyone deserves something named after themselves

It’s dumb I agree. Neither are deserving of having the court named for them imo.

It’s not even about not deserving. Naming the field after Skip Bertman was dumb also. Is a statue not enough these days?

I agree the whole concept is pretty absurd. Is anyone really going to call it anything other than the PMAC in most situations? Cameron Indoor is still just that, even though the court is named after Coach K. It’s a meaningless gesture that isn’t worth fretting over either way.

I don’t agree at all here. It should be an almost unattainable honor reserved for the absolute elite of the elite coaches. Bertman fits that description.

In a hundred years Skip may be called a racist for being white and his name willl be stripped.

It’s all the same thing

All I know is CJ should at least get a basket. Maybe not the whole backboard and stuff. We could save those for someone - but at least the rim.

“Here we are, looking for a great matchup tonight at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on the Gunter-Brown court, shooting at a Chris Jackson rim, here in Baton Rouge…”

It should not be named after any coach we’ve had. They haven’t been successful enough to earn that honor.

I think being all up in arms about whose name is on the court/field is even more stupid.

Were you and everyone else on here screaming and yelling when they were talking about naming it after Dale Brown?

I agree overall, but adding his name is now done and over.... now adding to it with another name is dumb.

It doesn’t, Dale and his cronies selfishly wanted to get it done so he could see it happen.
