 * I believe that the head coach of the NCAA teams meet the WP:Notable criteria. TheBigJagielka (talk) 20:34, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't. That is no different to the head coach of any other non-professional football team.-- Club Oranje T 10:58, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Has Avery actually played professionally
"During a four-year span, he enjoyed stints with Real Santa Barbara and Askims (Sweden). He also served as a player-coach for the Indiana Invaders." Full of weasel words and doesn't cut it for me. He may have played for their third team, reserves or Sunday social side for all that tells me. Every other player that has played professionally has stats quoted on numerous sites. Every other player under AfD that casually claims to have played professionally for a club gets deleted unless there is evidence they actually took the field for a competitive match. This reference does not verify that. If he had actually played it would be relatively easy to prove, but no-one seems to be able to provide that proof.-- Club Oranje T 11:04, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Aside from the college bios, I can't find any evidence of him playing for Real Santa Barbara or Askims and only a passing reference to him at the Invaders website. The difficulty is that the majority of his career is pre-website era, meaning that potentially valuable evidence may be more difficult to find. Your observation on the availability of reliable statistical information may be true of other leagues but the discontinuity of US soccer competitions in the 80s and 90s makes finding information a particular challenge.
