2015’s ceremony to honor Roy Marble during the final months of his life was poorly planned, lacking in its execution, and shortsighted in its rhetoric. Marble, by that time, had fought through decades of addiction, including many run-ins with the law. There was certainly an opportunity to reconcile and Iowa failed there. KGYM’s Todd Brommelkamp summed up just how complicated the whole situation as well as I’ve seen anyone so far today.
However, Marble was not granted the same honor - his number in the rafters - three of the last four career scoring leaders have had happen.
