Talk:Ann Meyers

Ann's Surname
The retired numbers section in the 2005-2006 UCLA men's and women's Basketball media guides still listed her as Ann Meyers Drysdale. The 2006 announcement of her being named Phoenix Mercury GM also lists her as Meyers Drysdale. Her WNBA blog lists her as Ann Meyers. It would appear that she still retains Drysdale as her legal last name, while using her maiden name as her broadcast name. Group29 20:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

First female 4 year scholarship
I'm not entirely happy with the citation I used. I can find plenty of sources stating she as the first woman to receive a 4 year athletic scholarship at UCLA, but that doesn't establish she was the first in the US. The interview with her states it in passing - I've found no contrary claims, and one other weak support. If anyone finds a more definitive source, please replace the one I added.-- SPhilbrick  T  00:34, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

QUAD DOUBLE: Sonja Tate recorded a quadruple double for Arkansas State on 1/27/93 in a 86-59 victory over Mississippi Valley State. She had 29 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals.

Source is NCAA women's basketball record book.

Sue Haynes, Ball Ground, GA: Sue Haynes (Now Sue Malone) is credited with being the first woman in the state of Georgia, and possibly the entire United States, to receive a basketball scholarship. She signed her scholarship in 1973, 3 years before Meyers.

It is possible that she got her first scholarship in 1976, because I don't know when Title IX was implemented at UCLA. However, she played basketball at UCLA in the spring of 1974. I know because I played on a team against her- and I finished my college basketball career that year. In 1976 she was 21 years old- very late for her to be starting college. In 1973 she was 18, which makes more sense for her to be starting at UCLA. [User: Mywikimathed] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mywikimathed (talk • contribs) 20:48, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * According to David L. Porter, ed. (2005). Basketball: A Biographical Dictionary., page 120, she was born in March of 1955, and played for a Naitonal team in the srping of 1974, making her 19 as a high school senior, perhaps a year older than common, but not so uncommon as to be unreasonable.


 * The article had stated her four years were 1976–1979, which is incorrectand doesn't match either Poerter, or the UCLA Media Guide. I changed it to 1975–1978. Her freshman year was 1975, but that means she entered as a freshman in 1974; her first year was the 1974–75 year.


 * The UCLA Media Guide

 * page 87, lists her stats for each year, starting with 1974–75 and ending with 1977–78.


 * If you think you played against her at UCLA in 1974, then either she skipped a year (because there are multiple mentions of her being a college senior in 1978) or a lot of sources are wrong, inlcuding the ones claiming she was a high school senior in 1974.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  00:53, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * It is unclear why you (Johnsonw1w1, who are probably not reading this) brought up Sonja Tate's quad in 1993, 15 years after Meyers' quad. Tate is cited in Double_(basketball)-- S Philbrick (Talk)  01:12, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Ann Meyers is the first? I think not!
Sue Haynes, Ball Ground, GA: Sue Haynes (Now Sue Malone) is credited with being the first woman in the state of Georgia, and possibly the entire United States, to receive a basketball scholarship. She signed her scholarship in 1973, 3 years before Meyers.

 * Your link is a dead link.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  00:19, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you meant to link this (http://ung.edu/news/articles/2012/01/athletics-hall-of-fame-honorees-inducted.php) which claims Sue Haynes Malone was the first woman in Georgia to receive an athletic scholarship. The claim about Meyers is the first for a four year scholarship. The scholarship for Haynes isn't stated as to length, but it pears it wasn't four years, as she was playing pro in 1976.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  01:15, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
