  • This article needs to expand the professional section. The article implies that the editors involved had access to results for his professsional career. The reader is unable to assess his professional career at any meaningful level other than to accept the highlights presented. Those highlights show that there are many encyclopedic things to learn about his international career. The article should chronologically present details of teams played for and leagues played in. Notable accomplishments should be interspersed accordingly.
  • It would also be interesting to understand his Mr. Tennessee award. Did he lead his high school to success in statewide competition.
  • Then the WP:LEAD needs to be expanded to about three paragraphs. One should detail his college career and another should detail his international career. Mentioning high school highlights would be appropriate.
  • Make a separate retirement section.
→ I appreciate the review Tony. I forgot that I had submitted this for GA status a long time ago, and at this point I am no longer inclined to put in the work necessary to bring it to be a GA. I am withdrawing the nomination. Jrcla2 (talk) 17:35, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
