There’s one way to make Jackie Stiles red-faced and uncomfortable these days.
Mention the statue of the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader that will be erected outside JQH Arena later this year.
Stiles joins such names as Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as college basketball legends who have had statues erected on their college campuses.
“How can you not be (embarrassed), having a statue?” Stiles said with a laugh. “Never in my wildest dreams did I fathom when I started playing basketball that one day that would happen. I can’t even verbalize what having a statue means.
