The HOF eligibility rules for players have changed in the past several years.  Retired players are now eligible 3 years after retirement.  I expect that Sue will be in the Class of 2025.

"To be considered for induction by a screening committee, a player, retired coach, or referee must be fully retired from that role for at least three full seasons.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith_Memorial_Basketball_Hall_of_Fame#cite_note-2018_changes-12'][12][/URL] The waiting period had originally been five years, but was changed to four years in December 2015,[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith_Memorial_Basketball_Hall_of_Fame#cite_note-Nomination-13'][13][/URL] and to three seasons in December 2017."

Here's a question for the board:  If a player doesn't play for some years (say, 4), but doesn't officially retire, when will she be eligible?  Would it be 3 years after announcing a retirement, or immediately after announcing her retirement if she had not played for 3 years or more?  I'm thinking, obviously, about Maya.
