Former ETSU basketball great Calvin Talford, a player known for his electrifying dunks and contributions to the most successful four years in ETSU’s program history, will be honored during “Calvin Talford Night” when the Bucs’ meet former Southern Conference rival Chattanooga on Wednesday, Nov. 15.
Not only will ETSU retire Talford’s No. 24 jersey, but he will also be recognized with a special fan giveaway, as the first 2,000 fans to enter Memorial Center will receive a commemorative replica pin of Talford’s jersey, along with a special “Talford Night” poster.
Chosen by the fans in a Web site vote at ETSUBucs.com earlier this year, Talford will be the first of five All-Time Greats to be honored during the upcoming 2006-07 season.
Other players who will be honored during the season will include: Zakee Wadood (1/4), Keith “Mister” Jennings (1/13), Greg Dennis (1/19) and Tom Chilton (2/2).
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
