Great a picture of Street in the old sweet I shirt. Tryn to make a grown man cry!
Can't wait till we get ripped for saying no. And trust me I love the Swamp Man
Pretty much a travesty that #23 isn't up there...
That list of retired jerseys is an indication of why you need a clear set of criteria for choosing to retire jerseys. Some guy who scored 6 Pts a game, but no Marble, Woolridge, or Acie?
A good starting rule is something like UCLA's three time All-American rule.
Of course Iowa couldn't do that, but a three time all-B1G and one time all-American rule would be a start. Basically, you need something to help guard against the emotion of the moment (except of course in the situation of the death of an active player, but that isn't about basketball as much as memorializing). Criteria needs to be of a historic nature to overcome the natural bias we have toward the present, or other potential biases.
so you're saying they should just retire aaron white's # now?
I believe Gatens could be the most important player that IA has had in 20 years. He may have recorded more losses than any player in modern times at IA. In all reality Gatens could have left but he stayed when there was little to cheer for. Gatens helped bring in the recruits for the the next year got IA back to competitive and soon back to the NCAA. This is why his jersey should be in the rafters

is his resume not pretty close to a few of those guys or am I way off base?
