IHSA online record book

Note that the IHSA online record book presents 36 points as the single-game record for the IHSA playoffs (only counting elite eight, final four, championship and consolation games for most years but not elite eight for others) and 48 points as the single season final four total points record as of April 14, 2014. I am pretty sure Brunson is also close to the career tournament final four points record of 97. I spoke with Jackie at the IHSA offices and she said the online record book is not necessarily the highest priority.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:53, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just one thing to fix: "Rick Brunson was hired as an on-bench assistant coach by Temple": he wasn't hired; it was expected, but it fell through. I think this should be rephrased.

Other than that this is a GA. Images are fine, writing is good enough, no MoS problems, and the sources are good. I checked a couple for close paraphrasing and found no issues. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:13, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New main image

I am considering a new main image. Please select from, left to right, choices 1, 2, and 3 or retain current. I may see Brunson play twice more (the IHSA championships and the McDonald's All-American game). Feel free to suggest retaining the current in anticipation of a better image in the next few weeks. Also, feel free to suggest another image from Commons:Category:Jalen Brunson.

My preferences in order: present, 2, 3, 1 -- I think the current one is as good as any of the new ones. Go Phightins! 04:07, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My preference would be to keep the present image and I would rank these new images in the order 3, 2, 1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:54, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with the others that the current image is the best one. If I had to choose one of these images, I would go with the second one. Temple of the Mousy (talk) 12:46, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Although I will be attending the Closed Practice, Media Day, Closed Scrimmage and actual 2015 McDonald's All-American Boys Games, and expect more pictures soon, this is the last time this year that Brunson will be my primary photographic subject. I would like to add two of these to the article. Your feedback is welcome. Please vote for your top 3 and state if any of these should bump the current lead. The top image will end up in the recruit section of 2015–16 Villanova Wildcats men's basketball team.

(copied from User talk:TonyTheTiger) Hello there! I appreciate you coming to me for a response, it means a lot. First of all, you took excellent photos of Jalen Brunson. I can tell you are a very talented photographer. Anyway, I really like image #3 a lot. It is the brightest image of Jalen, and it is a great action shot of him. Until the McDonald's All-American Game, I would use #3 as your primary photo. Thanks again for asking for my feedback! --NJ Jurrjens (talk) 04:36, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New image

Ok so I feel like it is really unfitting to have such a great player still having a picture from their college career. I think we should update it to a more current picture of him either on the Knicks or even Dallas at this point SocialistFootballer (talk) 20:41, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5-game 30+ streak

Tonight Brunson's 5-game streak of 30+ ended. It seems this was the first by a Knick since Carmelo Anthony in 2012-13. Anthony had 7 games then and none since. Neither Kristaps Porziņģis nor Julius Randle has done it so I doubt anyone since Anthony has done it as a Knick. He had four in a row. Then in the fifth game, he and Randle both had 30, which got the press. Second time I noticed something interesting that points back to Anthony (earlier this year he went 5-5 on threes in a quarter, which also seemed not to have been done since Anthony) and was ignored by Knicks press.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated lede

Don't think the lede should dedicate whole paragraphs to his high school and Villanova career when he's broken so many records for the Knicks this year.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Neverilluminated (talk • contribs) 16:06, 5 May 2024 (UTC) -TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:38, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
