General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
  • Other problems:   - I think "Hall of Famers" could be de-linked, so that we can avoid having two links next to each other.
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article is new/long enough, Earwig doesn't have anything, just a minor sourcing issue and potential hook improvement. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:05, 6 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • A passerby cleaned up my poor citation, I've added the appropriate cites, "Hall of Famers" has been delinked (I hate the colloquialism but like the sportzwriter impact). Would be open to a better phrased ALT if you suggest. BusterD (talk) 17:24, 7 October 2021 (UTC) Have asked for an extra set of eyes for another ALT. Hold up before acceptance.

  • I've been asked to share some ALT suggestions—Obviously, there's not so much to work with, given that the season hasn't started, but I'll give it my best shot!
ALT1: ... that the assistant coach for the 2021–22 UConn Huskies women's basketball team, Chris Dailey, is one of only two assistant coaches to be inducted into the Hall of Fame?
I'll go off-script a little, and deviate from the coaches:
ALT2: ... that Evina Westbrook turned down a spot in the Women's National Basketball Association draft to play in the 2021–22 UConn Huskies women's basketball team? do let me know if this one's inaccurate
ALT3: ... that the 2021–22 UConn Huskies women's basketball team graduated no seniors at the end of last season?
Of these, my preference is for ALT2, although none are spectacular. And as a drive-by comment, "lady Huskies", unless that's a common name, seems kind of pejorative? I'd recommend that those words not be said in Wikipedia's voice at least. Thanks for the request! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 17:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Quite right on lady huskies; have changed. Your alt 2 might be my hook when I write Evina's page later this month. Your alt 1 might be my hook when I do a 5x expansion on CD's page in November. I think I'll take my ALT0a. (I wish to keep this hook content away from individual players and towards the team. If I could make this hook about the graduate assistants or the equipment managers I would.) Thanks for the look. BusterD (talk) 18:09, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • @BusterD: no pressure at all, but if you want to punchify ALT0 a bit, you could go with:
ALT0b: ... that women's basketball Hall of Famers Chris Dailey and Geno Auriemma are in their 37th season of coaching the UConn Huskies together?
totally up to you. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 21:02, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
