Mystery signature

McKinney said:
No. It was Hoiberg, Prohm, the assistants, and the players on the roster at that time. Earnst or Nezlek are the most likely from my recollection of the looks of the player there, but I can’t see how that signature resembles either name.

If Nezlek's middle initial is P i could see that being a SPN

I could see getting "Stu" from the "8 p.m." part, but #40 (or is it #96?!!) doesn't seem to work.

That’s a great pull. Per the Googs, his middle initial IS P, and he wore #40 in high school… baseball, at least.

My first take on the sig was "SPN". Made me think "Spencer" as thats my sons name.
But Stu makes a lot of sense doesnt it? Would he have been like a freshman, still thinking about his hs number?

Don't think there's ever been a 46 at ISU.

In the NCAA players can only have digits 0-5 in their numbers so that refs can signal their fouls with two hands, one hand for the first digit and the other hand for the second digit (if needed).

Apparently years ago in Iowa high school basketball schools had one set of jerseys (home, I think) that had all even numbers and then the other set that were all odd for the road. A player might wear 1 at home and 2 on the road. That way officials could signal a foul with absolutely no confusion as to who it was on since there was a unique number on every player that played in the game.

Thanks for the info! I knew about the first. I did not know about the second. Makes sense though. Although, pretty strange having two numbers!

I was among those who played way-back-then. Two sets of jerseys, though (white for home/non-white road) (I was 30 home/31 away my jr/sr seasons).

My question, if anyone knows -- when did Iowa HS stop doing that?

I played in the '80s and we had never heard of such a thing so it has been gone for quite a while. I was 31 at home and 31 on the road.

No, I am not Georges Niang.
