Can someone contact Holmoe about this?

Considering he is honoring his dad, a BYU legend, an exception should be made

It's cooler to have a tradition of great players wearing the same numbers

That's a coincidence, not a tradition

Which isn't possible if you retire jersey numbers

It's cooler to do it, but much less cool when you're copying someone else

I hate it, too. It's unsustainable, as the Boston Celtics are discovering.

That's a better way to do it. Or like the Suns, who have a "Ring of Honor"

Bronco changed that policy. Nobody has worn 9, 14, etc. once they were retired.

But they were retired as jerseys not numbers so that policy could be undone, no?
