Exactly. UCONN for example could erect a statue for each player that was the MVP for every national title they won, and I wouldn't have given it a second thought. I would have actually though.. "wow...that's a special place for WBB" and it would seem so to every recruit also. The same with Geno...geez...tell me he doesn't deserve a statue? He would accept it, I am sure. Aja got hers for multiple reasons and she is still a strong advocate for little girls and little black girls in particular. Her book was a best seller..... . It's not all about basketball. It's about who she is.... where she is from...and what she accomplished. The same thing with Dawn Staley. They rose above the chaos and the prejudices that still are solidly in place today. It's a shame that even a good gesture is called out in such a manner. We could do better as a society but about 50% of the population is too cruel to do that. They would rather sit back and criticize than to say...Wow...what a nice gesture". The truth of who we are always boils to the top. [MEDIA=youtube]M2AB4_bAe-g[/MEDIA]
