"I hope they invite all the former players and coaches to come on the court at halftime so that we can express our appreciation to all of you."
I was just going to post the same exact suggestion, though I would include anyone involved with the program in a serious way (student trainers, managers, long time secretaries, etc.). They all pounded that rock.
If not that, then during one of the media timeouts the stadium announcer could simply ask "Wildcat fans, on this historic day, let's all stand and applaud in appreciation all former basketball players and coaches and team members who are here today to witness the final game...." etc. etc.
They could just stay in the stands and get a good round of applause and cheers.
I think the applause would last a very long time.
Thanks KC for all you did for us!
