Coach of questionably notable team. No sources. Coaches aren't inherently notable. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 03:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Basketball-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 15:22, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- Keep — Coach of an annual powerhouse in NCAA D2. Sources are only necessary for direct quotes or material that is being challenged. Nominator has a history of antipathy towards me that suggests this might be a bad-faith nomination. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!: 14-0) 16:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
