Kaplowitz: Which Jersey Should UTEP Retire Next?

I specifically said NOT jersey retirement for any of these guys. I totally agree with your argument.

My point re Stone is just if you’re talking about greatt players he should be in the discussion. Probably the best PG since Hardaway. He didn’t score a lot but had a 2:1 A/TO ratio as well as amazing D.
This is no disrespect on Julyan Stone. I loved the guy. He was a very good passer, and in my mind was one of the three best defensive players that I have personally seen at UTEP (the other two being Juden Smith and Julian Washburn). Stone, however, was not a good shooter/scorer.

In my opinion Fili Rivera was the best PG here since Tim Hardaway. Fili wasn't the lock down defender that Julyan was, but averaged more ppg (12.3 ppg vs 5.8 ppg career, 13.5 ppg vs 8.5 ppg senior year), was a better playmaker (6.0apg vs 5.2 apg career, 7.2 apg vs 5.3 apg senior year), and was slightly better at taking care of the ball (1.7 TOpg vs 1.9 TOpg career and senior year). Julyan was a great PG, but I believe that Fili was better.

Bob Haack was a legendary area High School Coach who won a State Championship at Santa Teresa and took Hanks to the Final Eight.

Coach Haack passed away in October 2016. Tim Floyd showed up to the Funeral and talked to everyone like they were all good friends. He was very engaging and stayed the entire time.

I used to think this guy is such a egotistical dick and he couldn’t have been nicer the only time I interacted with him
I don’t know him. I’m just basing my opinion on things like refusing to let Hamilton out of his LOI, spats with other coaches like Enfield and Alford, and his bizarre and defensive verbal attack on Kappy.

The guy was past his prime here and kind of unhinged.

And his recruiting sucked.

And he quit on his team mid season.

You’re 1000% wrong. He played here 4 years - Stone.
Yep. Lock down defender and one of the best UTEP defenders.

Floyd bewitched all the older boosters. What a dick and a fraud that guy was here.

Nobody was offended. DEI is not segregation. Why was DEI mandated in the military in the first place? Do you understand how it was affecting military decision making?
So learning how shitty Black Airmen were treated by their own country and fellow airmen is DEI to you? I say they are just facts that shouldn't be forgotten especially by future airmen.

At this point, I kind of wish he would charm any old boosters that are left to pony up for the move to the MWC. It would be even better if he actually contributed himself since he complained so much about not being in it.
Floyd might have been more successful in today’s game actually. Could have had a new calvary every year.
