Perhaps the New York Times said it best back in the spring of 1951 in regards to BYU sharpshooter Roland Minson.

If there is a better player to play in the 14 years of this [NIT] Tournament, we havent seen him.

Minson, a current resident of Star Valley and father to Geri Scherbel and David Minson will have his jersey retired on February 16 at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah as the Cougars host Portland. With 61 years having passed since he took his last official shot for BYU, Minson was a bit shocked to hear the news.

Ill say it was a surprise,he laughed. I told them they waited way too long. Ivegot so many posterity that Ill fill up the gym with my kids.

Minson will be one of just four players to ever have their numbers retired by the university along with former team mate Mel Hutchins.

It was inevitable for Mel, Minson added. We share the honor and its as it should be. He was maybe the most unselfish player I ever played with. He had the capability to be the highest scoring person in every game but chose to be a marvelous team player. He cleared the boards and shut down the other star player and he did that.

Minson and Hutchins led the university to a great deal of success including a championship in the 1951 NIT Tournament. Minson was named the MVP. The NITwas considered the more prestigious post-season tournament at the time. Hutchins went on to play professional basketball while Minson was drafted into the Navy.

Mel was too tall to be drafted into the Korean war but Iwasnt so I spent three and a half years in the Navy. Before that time Igot into Officer Candidate School and didnt want to get by on a privates salary so I was Ensign Minson.

Minsons draft rights were owned by the New York Knickerbockers as the #16 selection in 1951 after he returned from military service but he chose a different path.

When I came back they still wanted me but I didnt feel good about playing on Sunday, Minson said. He went on to success in the banking world including a 15-year stint as the vice president of Union Bank of California in Los Angeles from 1979 to 1994. He and his wife Carol have served three missions for the LDSChurch in England. Minson reminisced about his playing days and the run up to the national championship.
