Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4713648, member: 44"] Lol, I love that picture. Particularly in that it was a response to a Stewart picture showing off three rings. In any event, I have long championed renaming the court "Hall of Fame Court". I would add Calhoun's name along one end line and Auriemma's along another end line. Not the full length of it, mind you but visible on each side. I would then add the names and numbers of every other Connecticut player or coach who has earned Naismith Hall of Fame honors, So Ray, Rebecca, Swin soon to be joined by Bird, Tarausi, possibly Hamilton, etc. I just think that it is a nice way to celebrate the basketball excellence we have had a Connecticut. For what it's worth Dave Benedict balks at the idea, because the court is already named Alumni Court. I have to believe if you reached out to the alumni Association they'd be fine with the change, or if not at least be fine with "Alumni/Hall of Fame Court." Now, the last piece of this puzzle in my view is to rename hillside as "Auriemma Avenue". That would put Gampel at the intersection of Jim Calhoun Way and Auriemma Avenue. It would also become an obligatory opening camera shot for on campus televised games. In that way, everyone gets there due and we get away to celebrate our unique tradition of excellence. [/QUOTE]
