If that is true, then VT is deviating from its policy. I am okay with VT

retiring the #33 in women's basketball. I will say that this policy deviation could potentially open a can of worms because it could raise questions on whether there are other VT athletes, who played another sport, should have their number retired too. If VT decided to retire that player's jersey because of the existing policy, then it could create unnecessary complications that could have easily been avoided. Then again, it wouldn't be the first time VT created unnecessary complications for itself.

Yes at Spring Game he did say specifically sate no one else would wear #33.

They don't really retire numbers anymore. For example, Caitlyn Clark
