Sources are in article, no QPQ required, newly GA. Hooks are interesting. no copyvio found, only issue I have is if the Main hook needs quotations, if it's something he had said? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:07, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

It's a bit awkward regarding the main hook, because the source quotes Lee Sartor relaying what Williams said to Williamson. So the main hook (and article) actually quotes Sartor's words, but it's unclear whether Sartor was paraphrasing Williams (and whether Sartor heard this himself or was told it by Williamson), or quoting him—since there isn't a quote within a quote, we can't know exactly what Williams said, yet using quotes would make it look like it's Williams, not Sartor, who isn't mentioned in the article (he was Williamson's coach at Spartanburg). Also, the source says "probably one of the best", not "one of the best", so it's a bit more qualified than in the hook or the article, both of which should be edited to accurately reflect the source.

The main hook has been tweaked to more closely reflect the source. If there are still issues, I am fine with using ALT1 or ALT2. Wisestork (talk) 21:06, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
