<H2>SPORTSTICKER COLLEGE BASKETBALL NOTE</H2>
<P>
<P>Samford coach John Brady will be introduced today as the next
coach of Louisiana State University.</P>
<P>
<P>Brady will be introduced at a press conference today at 3 p.m.
EST. He will replace Dale Brown, who announced during the season
he would step down at the end of the year after 25 years at
Baton Rouge.  LSU finished 10-20 last year and had the worst
record among the 12 teams in the Southeastern Conference.</P>
<P>
<P>"We're pleased and excited that John Brady will be the next head
coach of the LSU Tigers," athletic director Joe Dean said on
Monday.</P>
<P>
<P>Dean, LSU chancellor William Jenkins and president Allen Copping
met with Brady Monday afternoon and Dean offered him the job.</P>
<P>
<P>"He is the right person at the right time to take this program
into the next century," Dean said.</P>
<P>
<P>The 42-year-old Brady compiled an 89-77 record in six seasons
with Samford. The Bulldogs were 19-9 this season and won the
West Division of the Trans America Athletic Conference before
losing to Florida International in the semifinals of the TAAC
tournament.</P>
<P>
<P>Brady served as an assistant at New Orleans under Tim Floyd, the
current Iowa State coach who took his name out of the running
over the winter after Brown made his announcement.  Brady also
was an assistant at Mississippi State for eight seasons before
moving to New Orleans.</P>
<P>
<P>Brady will inherit an LSU team that has fallen off in recent
years.  The Tigers did not have a winning record in Brown's last
four seasons and they have not made the NCAA Tournament since
1993, when they lost in the first round.</P>
<P>
<P>Brady will be the 18th men's basketball coach in the history of
LSU.</P>
