At least ole Les Alexander didn't do that!! You can go to a Rockets game, or rock concert and see all the Comets banners...

Reading between the lines of that article... you notice that they never say that Gavin Maloof doesn't know where the banners are? Mama Maloof doesn't know and is pissed, the GM of the Kings doesn't know... but the guy in the middle, they don't say.
The only acceptable reason for those banners to be missing is because Ticha Penicheiro, Ruthie Bolton, and Yolanda Griffith sneaked into the arena in the middle of the night and claimed them by right of "we earned these, they're ours, piss off".

they have actually been missing since the 2nd game after they folded the team. I have been in talks with some of the sths and we were actually really pissed about this.

'cause the point is to wipe out women's basketball history 'cause no one will notice if you use an eraser.
(can you tell I had another thanksgiving conversation about the history of women's basketball - a GOOD one, mind you, but wow....)

If the Maloofs cared about the opinion of Monarchs STHs, they wouldn't have folded the team in the first place.

That brings up a question I've had for a while. Whatever happened to the Sting's eastern conference championship banner from (I think) '99?

I wonder about Andrea Stinson's retired jersey.
If I were the Bobcats owner, I would donate both to the Women's basketball Hall of Fame.

If the Maloofs' cared even a little bit about the Monarchs, they would have given the league more notice about folding the team, send out personal calls to all the coaches & players & not taken deposits foe 2010 season tickets. I just hope the Monarchs find a home for 2010 so those banners can be moved into a new home.

does anyone know if they took the Shock banners down at the Palace?
And since the Shock is a bought franchise would the banners move with them?

I really think the banners belong to the owner of the team at the time of the championship. The Davidsons don't have to give up those banners and should keep them just like Alexander did with the Comets. The Maloofs should understand the history is theirs not just the Monarchs. The problem for them is probably how big of a reminder it is that the ladies got it done but their men's team can't. The Piston nor Rockets have that problem.

I think people are being a little too harsh on the Maloofs here. They have owned that team for what, 12-13 years now? Don't tell me they didn't care about that team and their season ticket holders. Obviously though, they have bigger fish to fry....aka need to focus on their bigger investment which is the Kings. Its a business decision, nothing personal. Sure, I do wish there was more of a warning or whatever but we don't know what happen, so really can't judge too much.
Guess you can somewhat call me a hypocrite because I still dislike Karen very much for selling the shock but my reasons are kind of different. If Mr. D was still alive, I still think the Shock would be in Detroit which is why I thought she should have kept them there. The team won, economy in Michigan as a whole is hell, the team plays out in the middle of nowhere....I just thought what she did in this timing was very bad which pissed me off.

dtp, you realize the monarchs did the same for sacramento right? they played in the middle of no where, they ALMOST broke even this year and probably could have turned a profit next year. sacramento as a whole right now is the worst place to be if you are unemployed.
and the reason we say we dont like the maloofs is because just two months ago, when the STHs were all renewing our tickets for next season, they were saying how the Monarchs werent going anywhere and blah blah blah. So personally, i think as a STH who put out the money for the Monarchs the last 5 years, I think I have a right to be pissed off
