Was there any significance behind the number 18 for players in the Italian league. Was it a foreign player thing?
I noticed that Oscar Schmidt wore 18 for Caserta in some pictures that I have seen, but I know he wore number 9 for Caserta at least in European competition in 1989.
Pace Mannion wore number 18 in pictures that I have seen for Cantù, but according to the FIBA website, he wore the number 12 in European competitions for Cantù.
I have noticed others before too.
