And if you think pros -- some of the star men go by first names -- LaBron, Draymont (sp?), Steph (some of the time), Kobe, etc -- and then there are others who are more commonly referred to by last name. It's a mix.
For Stanford, I do recall from decades ago, it was a mix. The 1989-90 team (1st championship team), most of the time Whiting was Val, Azzi and Steding were mostly Azzi and Steding, as was Zielstra. Sonia was sometimes Sonia, sometimes Henning. Tricia Stevens as I recall was mostly Tricia. etc. So . . . , a mix historically.
