Professional career chronologies[edit]

User:DaHuzyBru & User:Rikster2 can you see if anything needs to be in the infoboxes for Craig Lathen and Martell Bailey. I do not recall if I ever inquired about these guys and am thinking about GA nominations for them for the WP:CUP.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:47, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can check for CBA career tonight. Pretty sure I have looked for Lathen before. Bailey might have played too late for the CBA but you can check basketball-reference.com and see if he played in the G League. Rikster2 (talk) 13:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no Eurobasket profile for Lathen. Bailey has a profile but it appears he never played professionally as there is no detail after University of Illinois at Chicago in 2003–04. DaHuzyBru (talk) 14:18, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am surprised to see nothing professional for either guy so I am double checking whether I checked before. Maybe I did. Thanks for looking or looking again.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:44, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have nothing on either player Rikster2 (talk) 03:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for checking guys.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:59, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:DaHuzyBru & User:Rikster2, Chris Hill (basketball), can you add any WP:ICs from WP:RS for prose in this professional chronology.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded it a little based off his Eurobasket profile. DaHuzyBru (talk) 07:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User:DaHuzyBru Do you have any sources that could be used to support prose regarding his international championships?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find anything substantial with a quick search apart from euroleague profile, which states "Won the 2009-10 and 2010-11 Belgian National Championship with Spirou Charleroi". DaHuzyBru (talk) 00:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024-25 Assistant coaching limits[edit]

At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_Basketball/Archive_10#4_or_5_Assistant_coaches, User:CalDoesIt presented a July 1, 2023 rule change that allowed up to 5 assistant coaches. As I watch Dusty May fill out his staff, they talk as if he is still limited to 3 assistants and the next hire would fill out the staff. Are they going back to 3 next year?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:41, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How are we going to handle the second list of non-covid exception players since the source only goes down to 152 games now and next year will probably stop at around 155 or 156?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is the second list WP:DUE? Are there reliable sources that maintain such lists? Players from decades ago also had a disadvantage with shorter schedules and freshman ineligibility.—Bagumba (talk) 06:05, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well if it can be sourced, I'd support it, but if not...-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SportsGuy789:, you have been the main editor of this page in recent years. Do you know if there is a way to source the second (non-COVID) list?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know of one. @Dale Arnett: is the user who added that list on 1/26/22. SportsGuy789 (talk) 16:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure the NCAA does not keep a separate list on non-COVID era games played leaders. If not I struggle to see why the second list would be there. There is no list of games played leaders from before freshman eligibility Rikster2 (talk) 16:35, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The NCAA now keeps separate games played leaderboards for COVID-era and pre-COVID players. See, e.g., pages 29–30 of the 2023 edition of the Division I men's record book and page 23 of the D-I women's record book. — Dale Arnett (talk) 01:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It handles career games played well but for single season it messes up. On page 61 it shows two teams played 41 games in a season, but on page 4 it only lists players from one of them.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

5th year of eligibility[edit]

2024–25 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team has two holdovers from Juwan Howard's tenure who have a 5th year of eligibility remaining. I don't believe we are suppose to keep 5th year players on the roster until they announce that they will return. Another editor is including them on the roster until they announce that they will not return. What is right?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
