Hahaha this one made me laugh. Have a fundraiser for the new Convo by having people pay to put Dillard's name on it right before we rip it up to make it an indoor practice facility or whatever we're gonna do with it.

I think to have your name on a court you have to be head's above the rest. Kenny is class, improving, and has had a great run, but I think he needs to do a lot more in the NCAA tournament and total wins before we get to naming a court after him. Sheila got a win in the NCAA tournament over a number seed. Lou had 3 wins in the NCAA tournament. Kenny just has not accomplished near enough. Only one NCAA tournament win, right? Nowhere near in my opinion.

I agree.

Didn't Sheila make it to 4 Sweet 16s? (although it was easier to make a Sweet 16 back in her day as HC).

Let's say KB coaches until normal retirement age at JMU (about 20 more years), and gets to 800+ wins and multiple successive NCAATs and racks up a Gonzaga like record in the post season...maybe then this discussion would be worth having.

No JMU basketball coach at all has earned their name on the court.
