College of Charleston opens CAA play against William & Mary - Charleston Post Courier
It's something that College of Charleston sophomore guard Canyon Barry has just shrugged off and come to terms with during his brief collegiate career. Barry might be the only player in NCAA history to play in back-to-back games where his parents' jerseys have been retired. On Tuesday, Barry played against the University of Miami, where his hall of fame father - Rick Barry - has his No. 24 jersey on display. On Saturday, he'll travel to William & Mary where his mother - Lynn Norenberg Barry - has her No. 22 jersey hanging from the Kaplan Arena rafters. The Cougars (5-8) will open their Colonial Athletic Association schedule against the Tribe (6-5) on Saturday beginning at 2 p. m. While Rick Barry's career achievements have been well documented over the years, his mother was no less dominant... Despite playing in just 82 games, Lynn Norenberg Barry scored 1,500 career points and is the only female athlete to have her jersey retired in any sport at William & Mary. This will be the first time Barry has played on the same floor that his mother helped make famous. "She had a great career there and it's nice for me and for her to go back (William & Mary), but the only thing I care about is coming out of there with a win," Barry said.
