New rule on numbers worn

[HawkPhin]

I noticed while watching a few cbb games that two different players were wearing the number 9. I did a quick google search and saw where it is now legal to wear any numbers between 0-99. Was I the only one not aware of this rule change?

I saw it posted on Twitter that it was approved at the beginning of the month, the first day games were played. Not sure why they couldn't have done it at the start of the school year so players could really take advantage of it. I've only seen a few players here and there that are wearing the newly expanded number options.

West Virginia had a #7 and a #9, both of which looked strange for college team
