Date of birth[edit]

What's the source for the date of birth given in the article? It disagrees with the reported age in most of the news stories cited. —C.Fred (talk) 16:52, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that most sources have corrected the age to 55 now and were rounding up to 56 previously (see this for example). The 1965 YOB looks to come from here [1], the official UTRGV basketball team's twitter account. Per public records the unsourced DOB looks to be correct but we should wait for a better source before adding it. Connormah (talk) 23:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
