Talk:Tyler Hansbrough

Self-Discrepancy
Which is correct? The article says he was born in Colombia, while the sidebox says he was born in Poplar Bluff. Brian Ryans 16:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Notable Incident
In hindsight, the 'notable incident' with Geral Henderson, Jr. seems rather trite. It's a slippery slope to start logging fouls, flagrant or otherwise, unless observable patterns or serious injury occurs. I can think of several 'notable incidents' with a number of players but they aren't detailed in their bios. Pepto gecko 18:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Tyler's Brother Ben
I just read that Tyler's little brother Ben played for Miss St. but transferred to Notre Dame before the 2008-2009 season I didn't see anything in this article about that, and didn't see a section that would apply to, and didn't want to create a section just for that little tid-bit.72.205.45.100 (talk) 18:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I didnt know that his real name was Andrew. Why do they call him Tyler then?

Full Name Incorrect
His name is Andrew Tyler Hansbrough, not Tyler Andrew Hansbrough. I couldn't figure out how to correct this on the semi-protected page. Tarheel482 (talk) 02:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right about his name. I've made the correction. Rreagan007 (talk) 14:57, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

After his death
It looks like he died after getting drafted by the Pacers. A lot of interesting things happened during his rookie season - but you wouldn't know it from this pathetic article. I dropped by to see any there ever was any official explanation for his continued vertigo problems - problems which started halfway through his rookie season and continue to this day. You know, the sort of thing that could end a career. See Nick Esasky if you don't believe me. Of course he had a bad rookie season, right? Err.. he averaged 10.8 points a game in November once he started getting regular playing time. This included games where he scored 13, 19, 21, 14, & 19. He also averaged 5.7 rebounds a game in November too. All that in 22 minutes a game. So, yeah. Two sentences on one line pretty much seems about right.

Why don't I add the information? Well, I have a pet peeve about doing a bunch of work on something like this only to have some wiki-asshole delete it because I did not dot an "i" or cross a "t". You know, like delete a couple hours of work because I did not include sources - all of which were EASILY verified. And before you knee-jerk regurgitate WP:SOURCE; read this part: "It has always been good practice to make reasonable efforts to find sources oneself that support such material, and cite them." Long-time revert-nazi's seem to be unable to retain that tidbit; which is probably because if heeded it would ruin some of the enjoyment they get over having their thumb on someone.


 * Thanks for the soapbox. For as much time you spent ranting, you could have added a paragraph on his rookie season w/actual references. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Needs more sources
The article needs more sources. I have added some and have tagged some areas that either lack sources or have problematic sources. SunCrow (talk) 11:13, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Needs expansion
The section on his NBA career needs expansion. SunCrow (talk) 03:43, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
