NCAA panel approves flopping rule in WBB; other rules changes include reducing the restricted-area arc and eliminating the lower defensive box rule, as well as allowing players to wear numbers 0-99
Ok Yankee there are now a plethora of numbers to chose from so who belongs along side Fitz

Great thread idea. My two from the list are Allenspach and Hand.
My third is a write-in. I think players from the pre-Giorgis era deserve in on the fun so my 3rd choice is Ursula Winter. She played for ‘81-‘85. As of the end of this past season she still ranks as Marist’s 3rd all-time scorer (1,587), 6th all-time in scoring average (13.8), 3rd all-time in field goals made (606), 5th all-time in field goal percentage (.494), 5th all-time in free-throws made (373), and 6th all-time in total rebounds (762). Additionally, Winter’s still hold the record for the 5th highest single scoring game (35) and tied with Rachele Fitz for 2nd highest field goal percentage in a single game (.917).

Reality is I only think 2 are right - this honor needs to be for the exceptional of the exceptional.
I added the third vote to see if there are others deserving to be at least in the discussion because everyone on that list was one heck of a basketball player

Does it cost any money for the college to retire a player's number?

In all seriousness, I think it's right that only Fitz has her jersey retired. If you don't win a single MAAC championship - though the MAAC was a lot tougher with Q when Bekah was there, it's tough for me to justify (plus it's hard to retire #23 ha). I think Bekah's senior year we would've destroyed Rider in the championship and raised hell in the dance but still that would've only been one year. Spach is close but her stats aren't like Rachele's.

You'd keep Dan Marino out of the HOF - no if you can look at Rebekah Hand and not think we should retire her # - you need to stop watching the sport lol

Hahah I just can’t do it without a championship at the college level. Though like I said I do believe she would’ve had one

Retired Numbers at Tech - Mark Price, John Salley, Tom Hammonds, and Matt Harpring all retired w/o a championship - not needed.
By your logic - Willow Duffle is more deserving then Rebekah hand

Allenbach is overdue. She could do it all; defense, shoot the 3 from waaaay downtown and drive the base line. Hand is there too; executed the offense as well as anyone and deadly from any where on the floor. Nothing away from Fitz, best nums ever within 15' of the basket. I keep thinking of the team we would have had if Tori Jaroz played with the teammates that Fitz and Allensbach played with!

The 2013 year with Dulin Lockenden and O’Conner Tori was coming off the bench. Isn’t that wild? Haha

Sydney Coffey, Madalin Blais too! Yep. That's right; coming off the bench after her 2nd medical red shirt. Took a lot of hours by a lot of people to get her that "sixth" year. I believe the Championship game was her first game back after her 2nd injury. Came back from 17 points down against Q to win the crown!

Speaking of Blais, is her number getting retired?
I'm kidding, I'm kidding...

You look back at some of the depth and the talent that came off our benches - and wonder in today's world how many would have been recruited by bigger schools and transferred.

I also picked Erica and Becka, my third vote was for Kresge. She was the glue that held that Sweet 16 team together.
