LSU’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center will now have two names attached to its basketball floor.

The LSU Board of Supervisors voted Friday to add former women’s basketball coach Sue Gunter’s name to what has been — for barely more than a year — merely Dale Brown Court.

The change comes 13 months after the original ceremony to name it soley after Brown, the second-winningest coach in Southeastern Conference history.

The idea of putting both names on the floor came up then as an amendment to the proposal to name it after Brown. But that proposal was rejected by a 12-3 vote, the same margin the board voted to name it after Brown.

Mary Leach Werner of Lake Charles, then and now one of the board’s most vocal supporters of adding Gunter’s name, did not attend Friday’s meeting. She was the lone member of the board who was absent.

Since the original vote to name the court after Brown, both Gov. John Bel Edwards and LSU President William F. Tate have been actively lobbying behind the scenes for dual names on the floor.

“I think the court is big enough for two names,” Edwards told USA Today Network this week. “When you look at (Gunter’s) body of work she is certainly deserving of the honor.”

On Friday the proposal to add Gunter first went through the board’s academic committee, which passed it 6-2. The dissenters were Collis Temple and Glenn Armentor, both ardent backers of Brown.

When it came before the full board, it was approved with only Jay Blossman dissenting, he said, on grounds of improper procedure.

Before the vote, four people spoke on behalf of leaving only Brown’s name on the floor. Among them was former baseball star Ben McDonald, who originally went to LSU on a basketball scholarship to play for Brown before eventually becoming the No. 1 overall pick in MLB’s 1989 First-Year Player Draft.

Gunter, who was at Middle Tennessee and Stephen F. Austin before coaching the LSU women’s team for 25 years, died in 2005. She had taken a medical leave of absence from the team a year earlier.
