 * There is a reference to Dan Pippin's having led Missouri to "an NCAA tournament berth" as a 17 year old freshman in 1943-44: I want to determine exactly what this means before adding it.
 * Even though Dan is said to have been born in St. Louis, Missouri, I think he grew up in Waynesville, Missouri, and probably played basketball there too. (His father, Dru L. Pippin, said that the Waynesville H.S. team retired his number in his honor -- source: oral history tape, Fort Leonard Wood Missouri museum).
 * I am looking for a photo to contribute.
 * Dan didn't play basketball after leaving Caterpillar.
 * Also, his name wasn't Daniel, simply Dan, Dan Luther Pippin. Father: Drura Lavega Pippin, mother Eva Luther Pippin. I'm not sure how to cite a tombstone to show this. Unfortunately Social Security Death Index doesn't show him, and Missouri online deaths stop at 1957; birth certificates are not available. Only web sites such as sports-reference have gratuitously changed his name to Daniel. Wikipedia's own list of the 52 roster shows him as Dan. Other references, see, e.g. and  show the name correctly.

 * More facts about Dan Pippin awaiting documentation. 1. Dan played for the Waynesville (Missouri) Tigers in high school, and was coached by Master Sgt. Joe Kelly, a Ft. Leonard wood soldier, one of many teachers hired from the Fort during war years. 2. Dan entered the U of Mo. at age 16 and played varsity ball that year, the youngest in the Big 6 conference.  3. George Edwards was coach,  followed buy Coach Sparky Stalcup. 4. Dan is  in the Missouri Basketball hall of fame in Springfield. Tkotc (talk) 22:47, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The Peoria team Dan played for was NOT the Peoria Cats, but rather the Caterpillar Diesels. They changed ther name to the Caterpillar Cats because of some obscure Olympic rule
 * I'm pretty sure Dan's death was by suicide. >>>> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.94.59 (talk) 04:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
