Let's hang Michele VanGorp from the rafters in Cameron Indoor Stadium-her shirt, that is. Her credentials are compelling: She led Duke to its two best basketball seasons and to within 20 minutes of the NCAA championship. In addition, she made the 1999 Kodak All-American Team.
On a related note: If it is not already policy, the honor of having one's shirt hung in Cameron should be limited to players who stay for four years and earn a degree. The University's highest basketball honor should be reserved for those who are truly "student athletes." This, after all, is what sets Duke apart from most other Division I universities.
