Untitled[edit]

This article is making statements that really need further explanation. For example, it says that Coach McDonnell has won 42 NCAA national championships. However since he's only coached Arkansas for 29 years, the 42 is obviously not meaning the same thing as John Wooden's 10 national championships with UCLA basketball.

The difference is significant since it may mean that apples and oranges are being compared, but the article is making no effort to inform the reader of this. In fact, including the line "He has more national championships (42) than any coach in any sport in the history of college athletics." is going right after this comparison without citing references or even bothering to explain what is meant by a "national championship" or how Coach McDonnell can win more than one of them in a single year.

In short, this article reads like campaign rhetoric. It's full of technically true information, but no real context in which to judge that information. I hope that someone with close knowledge of Coach McDonnell's obviously impressive accomplishments can exand this article and fill in the contextual gaps. --Don Sowell 22:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
