Could we find a better hook? It is one quote from one person, and somewhat negative blp commentary. --Soman (talk) 08:25, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

ALT1: "... that Tank Collins' mother forced him to play basketball as a child and would often play him in games of one-on-one?" Jrcla2 (talk) 18:12, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

All looks good. Perhaps I would go with:

ALT2: ... that "Tank" Collins was forced by his mother to play basketball to get over the death of his father and went on to become the American South Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year?

Sources check out, spot checks are fine, and the referencing is good. The hook (ALT1 or ALT2) is ready to go onto the Main Page. GTG. violet/riga _^[talk] 23:20, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
