 * Symbol confirmed.svg Wow, first college basketball program to hire a statistician, and it's 2013? Created in mainspace, large enough and sufficiently sourced. The hook source says "Cannon is considered to be the first pure statistics-based hire on a college basketball staff" (emphasis mine, obviously). So I don't know that we can say he's the first without any sort of qualification. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:10, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * ALT1 ... that Drew Cannon is believed to be the first person hired by a college basketball team to perform statistical analysis?


 * I agree that ALT1 is more precise. Thanks for the review. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
