Why not?Does KLS get to wear number 23?
YepDoesn't Katie wear 33 for Mater Dei,
Pulido will probably give up #24 if Collier wants it. She gave up #11 this year to Nurse.33 is available, but 24 is worn by Briana Pulido
Not sure if its usual, but it seems players like to wear the same number they wore in HS.
I think the refs might care though unless they were 6-handed aliens. Just 35 numbers in play since I believe Geno will not allow #0, and even #1 appears to be untouchable, so 31 of probably 34 possibles have been used at least once.As long as it says UConn on the front of the jersey, I couldn't care if she wore #589.
My understanding is, yes, a tradition. KML was reported to need to call Maya and others have similarly needed to do so. I am not sure it is 100%.Truly a tradition? I thought it was a special thing when Tiff Hayes asked Diana about #3.
As if she could say, "no, I forbid it."If KLM gives her permission.
So I just went through the UConn site archives. I may have missed it, but has anybody worn 10 since Sue Bird? Anybody at all?
That said, I do think the iconic numbers (namely 3 and 23) traditionally require asking permission. 31 (J. Moore, Charles, Dolson), 41 (McClaren, Stokes), and 51 are generally handed to post players, with may be a different tradition.
Exactly, it exists but he didn't understand it. I think CD had something to do with it.I wont' be able to find the video, but I do recall Geno not agreeing with this "asking permission" thing... not sure if the players/former players actually do this or not. I mean, just because he doesn't agree with it, doesn't mean they don't' do it.
