I don't have a problem with choosing not to retire jerseys anymore but they should have been clear with that earlier in the week. This just looks bad. Also, you have to have a video program honoring him.
Marble is part of the all Century team; shouldn't all of those player's pictures/numbers be hanging from CHA's rafters?
Another player forgotten is Don Nelson.
why the hell isn't his # retired?
he graduated in 2012 from Iowa (finally)
he was a two-time All-American at Iowa
he scored 1,522 in his 3 yrs (1960-1962, 72 GP, .507 FG%,, 21.2 ppg)
If he played 134 games like Roy Marble, he would have had 2,840 points
The Celtics retired his No. 19 jersey in 1978. Iowa has yet to retire his No. 15
Nelson is known for the 1,355 coaching wins during 31 seasons as an NBA coach
he is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame
he is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
I do not understand Iowa's logic in this. It's completely ridiculous... maybe the banners would distract people from watching the games or something? I Guess?
i think the pictures of the all time greats, if nothing else, need to hang from Carver; there's a lot of history to celebrate and it should be on full display in CHA; since some of the players were from at least a generation ago, the years they played and key info should be visible, imo (example: Nelson: 2 time All American; Marble: All time Scoring Leader, 2,116)
