The routine is largely the same on Senior Night at hundreds of colleges and universities across the country.
The spotlight is saved for the senior players, who walk to mid court just before tip-off with their parents and family, are given flowers and plaques and cheered by the hometown fans.
Mangers and other support staff often are honored hastily during timeouts.
However, the Old Dominion University women's basketball senior festivities last month broke that mold. Senior players Taylor Edwards and Ashley Scott headed onto the court with their families, but so did managers Isaiah Fernandez and Dahkel Darling.
