#32
Derrick Brown
Derrick Brown’s #32 was retired at the LACC Egg Nog Classic Tournament on December 28 of 1996. Brown was in Los Angeles with his team, the Providence College Friars, as they were to play Loyola Marymount on December 29; he attended the ceremony with then Providence head coach Pete Gillen.
 
Brown played for coach Mike Miller and was one of the key players in establishing LACC as a reborn national power. Brown led the Cubs to a 33-2 record and was named Co-Conference MVP as well as first team All-State. Additionally Brown was named to numerous All-American teams. This was accomplished, despite playing only one year for the Cubs (‘94-’95).
 
At Providence, Brown was a two year starter and as a senior was named to the All-Big East team by a vote of the conference coaches. "Derrick was a player that played big in big games", said LACC coach Mike Miller. This was illustrated many times during his senior year at Providence. Two examples are: Brown scored 35 at Storrs Ct. vs. Uconn in a Big East tilt. Later, when leading the Friars to the NCAA round of Eight, he rang up Duke for 33 points. Eventually Brown’s miracle senior season came to an end when in overtime the Friars lost to eventual National Champion Arizona, led by Mike Bibby.
 
Pete Gillen, now the head coach at ACC power, University of Virginia, said of Brown: "He was the heart and sole of our team. Without him I don’t know where we would have been".
     
Today Derrick plays professional basketball overseas. He spent a year in South America proving himself, before being signed in Greece. In South America he led the league he played in scoring and became a fan favorite for his positive attitude and style of play. "Derrick is one of the most special and positive people I have ever met" states coach Miller. Both Miller and Gillen believe that Derrick will eventually make a NBA roster, because of his positive attitude, skill and willingness to keep working hard to improve himself.
   
  

#23
Randy Holcomb Jr.
Randy Holcomb’s #23 was retired at the " Y-nasium" on February 15, 2001. Randy attended the ceremony with former Michigan and current San Diego State head coach Steve Fisher.
 
Holcomb played for coach Mike Miller and was one of the key players in maintaining LACC's reputation as a  basketball power on the national scene. Holcomb led the Cubs to a 34-3 record and was named Conference MVP as well as first team All-State. Additionally Holcomb was named to numerous All-American teams. Randy is the only player in the history of California Community College basketball to be selected to play in the Florida vs. National All-American game (the JC equivalent to the McDonald’s All-American game). All of this was accomplished, despite playing only one year for the Cubs (‘99-’00).
 
At San Diego State, Holcomb is the most noteworthy recruit in the history of the program. He is the second All-American recruit from Chicago for head coach Steve Fisher (Juwan Howard is the other). "Randy was a player that practiced and played hard everyday and really bought into the, already established, tradition of LACC basketball", said LACC coach Mike Miller. Like Derrick Brown, Randy was a fan favorite and a team player. Holcomb was a rare star who was willing to sacrifice his own individual accomplishments to achieve great things for his team. "We are excited about his future in basketball and wish him and the Aztecs the very best".
 
Randy Holcomb was named team MVP for the Aztecs in the first season and was also named Mountain West Player of the Week twice, a rare accomplishment for a first year player. The media has picked Randy as a first team All-Conference Pre-season selection going into his senior year. He has also been selected by The Sporting News as the most likely NBA prospect from his conference. Randy capped his college career by leading the Aztecs into the NCAA tournament for the first time in over 17 years... he was named MVP of the Mountain West Tournament.
