Dexter interview

Post by **Aglicious** » July 26th, 2024, 1:21 am

Thanks for posting! Seems like a good dude with a great attitude.

Also, I'm a little mind blown by one particular detail. After a little more research, it appears Dexter and one other player on this year's roster will do something that has never been done by a player in USU hoops history.

Any guesses?

With two year missions and a redshirt this would really surprise me.

Transfer to Utah State after playing at two high major schools (along with Martinez)?

We have the A-team (Anderson, Akanno, Albury, and Allen)

The answer?

His jersey #.

Every player in history has worn a jersey number made of numbers 0-5. This season Akanno will wear #7 and Allen will wear #8.

Used to be a rule that no digit higher than five could be used so refs could signal which player committed a violation by holding up the number of fingers.

That rule was changed several years ago.

Also, under the old rule, 1, 2, or 3 could not be used as a standalone number because refs holding up those numbers could be signaling something else.

It hasn't been allowed by the NCAA until last season

@cval mentioned it earlier up in the thread. Jersey numbers were limited to digits 0-5 at all levels of basketball for decades to make it possible for refs to signal a player's number on their fingers using both hands. The NBA changed their rule quite a while ago and will allow any number from 1-99 and 00 (except 69). The NCAA has now followed suit.

That they won't allow a player to where #69 is the very reason I began boycotting the NBA several years ago. Such a travesty and an affront to all of humanity.

Excellent. I love that a simple number is infamous enough that organizations will not allow it (see also multiple state departments of transportation removing mile markers for 69).

Let’s have some good news for a change eh? Now I know that they weren’t going very hard…. but it doesn’t hurt that Dexter is spending his offseason with NBA players
