Should Carver Hawkeye be renamed to at least include Clark’s name?
- Thread starter ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays
- Start date
Clarks Court
Never be another Iowa team in football or basketball to even sniff the playoffs final 4
You don’t change the name of the arena. You get rid of the hideous mediacom logo
Change the name like you did for Kinnick. Put a big fricking statute out front, too.
I voted no but she should get a statue.
they need to keep the 22 logo on the court for the rest of history
The whole team should've gotten a statue if they had won today. Iowa simply doesn't win titles in basketball/football and I bet we go the next 40 years without even sniffing one. Still shocked and proud what these ladies did. A single 5 star recruit on this team!
Exactly, that's going to be part of the history of Carver Hawkeye. I haven't seen Iowa fans as rabid for their team since the 90's. It was nice to see.
Good rule of thumb is never name a landmark after a living person.
Caitlin will be leading Iowa to national championships as a coach sooner than that.......
She gets a statue and maybe 10 years or so down the line name the court “Caitlin Clark Court”…if it’s still appropriate.
When they build the new downtown arena (being spearheaded by Torbee) maybe they’ll name it after #22… but the early nod for the new arena has to be “The Lick”……

Her jersey will be retired (if it hasn't already), the sticker on the floor should remain and a statue would be appropriate for someone that has accomplished so much for Iowa, on and off the court.
But "no" to a stadium name change.

I agree with this.
They will obviously retire her jersey. (I wouldn’t be opposed to retiring #22 across all sports.) I like the idea of leaving the little 22 on the court permanently.
But anything else (arena name change, statue, etc) should wait. It’s best to think those things through a bit and not make a decision based on the emotions of the day.
lol. Not happening. Shouldn’t even happen for mens hoops. It is a different game.
Agree with the 22 on the court.
I thought Iowa was really silly for not giving Clark a solo walk off last night. She should have received her own exit from the game.
i agree but i would retire the jersey number across all sports. Not just womens basketball. I think that would reflect the impact she made for the entire university and not just womens basketball.
Interesting. With 56 votes against and 28 for it's exactly 2 to 1 against a name change!!!
Now watch a group of dorks go and upset the perfect ratio ...

With all the money she's about to make, she can be a prime benefactor towards the construction of a whole new arena in about 20 years. And they can call it GOAT Arena.
Not much to cheer for regarding the men’s team since BJ was the point guard. That’s a long time of pathetic basketball.
Only arguable athlete that did as much for the University as Clark was Nile Kinnick and he was long dead before almost all of us here were born
This. Great idea.
Renaming the arena is a bit much. Can't believe 30% voted yes.
Retire her number for women's bball, Yes. All sports? Again...come on, guys.
Can't name an arena for someone that might be coaching against you in ten years. You never know?
No, way too early to do that. Give it 10-15 years and see what her career and other things play out
Great players rarely make great coaches.
And Kinnick had been dead over 35 years before Iowa named it Kinnick stadium
Retire Clark’s jersey, yes. Name the arena, no. But DEFINITELY a statue of her shooting a logo 3 needs to be outside the arena
Jersey this year, statue in a couple years
In any sport. Name an All Star/All Pro in any major sport who went on to become a Championship coach. It's a short list.
Lenny Wilkins (Hall of Fame and Championship coach)
Joe Torre
Phil Jackson (though I don't think he was All Pro)
You're still talking about men regarding my proclamation that Clark will win a women's title..........try again.
What part of "in any major sport" wasn't clear? What difference does male/female make? I just listed the few examples I could think of. Feel free to add your own. Dawn Staley comes to mind, but they are few and far between. Super star players in any sport rarely become great coaches. If you're asserting that Clark may be one of those rarities, so be it. But I wouldn't make bank on it.
