Al Skinner is one of just four players to have their numbers retired at UMass. The other three: George "Trigger" Burke, Lou Roe and Julius "Dr. J" Erving. Skinner was never the top athlete on the court but "he never left anything out on the floor" according to his old coach. Skinner didn’t play alongside Dr. J (he was a freshman in Erving’s last season, before freshman were allowed to play) but he did play with Rick Pitino. Unfortunately his hair retired long ago.
