Bobby Hurley's number was retired on February 28, 1993. He graduated in May of 1993.

That was the first one I checked…

Here's a little bit on him:
Hurley was a two-time NCAA champion (1991, 1992)
He was the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player in 1992
He was a consensus first-team All-America in 1993
He set the NCAA's assist record with 1,076

However, the first criteria at Duke is you have to be a graduating senior.

So what's your point?

I think it's a clue. Let's see if it comes true

Ah, a clue! …a clue?

I'll take a guess that you believe that Coach Williams is leaving A&M. And as a parting shot, he wanted to make sure that Wade's number was retired.

Is that your thinking? Do you believe that Wade's contributions to A&M do not merit having his number retired? And the only way that was going to happen was if Coach Williams took it upon himself to do it before leaving? And since he was leaving, he won't have to suffer the blowback?

Coach might leave, but I don't think he does hope not. Buzz Williams is my favorite person in Texas A&M Basketball.

Just wondering if this is what you're wondering…

If Buzz were leaving why would he care if anyone's jersey is retired? Makes zero sense.

I don't think he's leaving but he cares deeply about his players, especially one who has been there all 4 years through thick and thin.

I hope this gesture will help to snap Wade out of his recent shooting funk!

We already knew it, but no denying it now. This MFer comes running over here after every loss to talk about how horrible we are. Hasn't said **** about the win over Auburn except questioning hanging the jersey. Just like he was talking **** during the Ole Miss game and then disappeared when we won and didn't post again until we blew the Texas game. If you cant come here after beating the #1 team then you aren't even a troll. You are a b*tch!

Buzz might leave. Buzz might retire. But I don't feel like he did this because of that. Because Buzz was saying before the season that Wade will one day have his jersey in the rafters and he said on multiple occasions (Oct/Nov) that it probably should happen on senior night. He hasn't brought it up recently, but mentioned it multiple times right before and first weeks of season. So if it's a clue, then that would mean he was planning to leave before the season started.

I actually find it fascinating that he left it until after the game.

Ok. I'll spell it out.

You've listened to Buzz wax poetic for 5 years(not a criticism btw) and are confused as to why some people would suggest he would want to be present for one of his most decorated players jersey retirements?

Gotcha but my point was why if he's leaving would he honestly care to do it or not. I get if they they do it he'd be there, I just don't get why - if he's bailing - he would care to make it happen is all.

Neither do I, I think Coach Williams has worked a long time for this. I think it's great, just gobsmacked at some of the 12th Man Spirit on this board.
