I did a little research this evening and discovered that UNC-Ch has a set of criteria, one of which must be be met in order for a jersey to be retired. They are:
- Associated Press Player of the Year
- Oscar Robertson Trophy, formerly known as the United States Broadcasters Association National Player of the Year
- National Association of Basketball Coaches Player of the Year
- Sporting News Player of the Year
- John R. Wooden Award
- Naismith College Player of the Year
That is a fairly amazing accomplishment considering the number of nationally known players that have played basketball for the Tarheels. I never would have thought that such an obscure player would stand head and shoulders above all others, outshining other UNC-Ch players such as Steve Hale, Ranzino Smith, that white guy that threw Dean Smith out of his office, Danny Manning, that douchebag that broke his wrist at LSU, Bobby Hurley, and the Rubber Man. Wow.
