A fact from Lester Rowe appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 May 2023 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that it once took two days to determine whether a
slam dunk by Lester Rowe at the buzzer counted?

Some copy cleanup, but the most direly needed fixes are to the uncited statements.
Thebiguglyalien passed this for DYK with those included, which surprises me. But they are not going to be able to stand at GAN without citations.

Copy changes
Lead
As an assistant coach, his teams have earned 2017 Big 12 women's tournament and the 2013–14 Big 12 women's regular season championships. Move the "the" before "2017"
Remove the duplicate West Virginia men's link in paragraph 2. I think you can just say that he played four seasons for West Virginia; it'd sound a lot better and less redundant.
Delink Eastern Athletic Association, which goes to an unrelated article, and consider a footnote at the end of that sentence on the conference's renaming. A reference like this one[1] would be workable too.
There are two citation needed templates that must be resolved. Partial sourcing is available in newspapers to fill this gap.[2][3] Note that the team is not mentioned in the former and particularly that the latter suggests he did not play for Savannah after November 1987. (Side note: this went to DYK with two citation needed templates, which is astoundingly bad.)
In 2013, he was reprimanded by Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby for his involvement in a post-game melee at the Bank of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Classic at the Stan Sheriff Center on November 17, 2013. In 2013, on November 17, 2013—one of those should stay, one should go.
@
TonyTheTiger The main problem left is that the new sources do not include the Shell team or the "5 games" specifically with Savannah. My guess is that there is not a lot of available online sourcing for the PBA from the 1980s, though I did find
a story in Rappler which mentions that Shell signed Rowe. His WVU profile indicates he played in several other countries: Argentina, the Philippines, Venezuela, France, Germany and the United States.

As of March 18, 2013 his daughters were aged 21 and 19, respectively. There has to be a better way to say this, something like "born 1991/92" and "born 1993/94", that doesn't age so poorly.
Ref [15] (Chicago Tribune): The correct page number is section 4, page 3. The Tribune had numbered sections back then, and it is easy to miss that, especially with ProQuest where it might not be so apparent. I usually write this as 4:3.
Consider cleaning up all the [Final Edition] etc. in the ProQuest titles.
4: This NewsBank link gives me fits, but I found the original 1981 naming too.[4]Y
8: With a 12.6 average, Maurice Martin of St. Joseph's was the No. 2 scorer for the Atlantic 10 basketball all-stars who toured Spain. Martin, a 6-6 sophomore, scored his tour-high 24 points vs. Panama. Leading scorer for the A-10s (3-5 record) was Lester Rowe of West Virginia with a 19.9 averageY
12: The preseason all- conference team includes George Washington's 6-foot, 10-inch, 260-pound Michael Brown, a sure NBA first-round pick; St. Joseph's guard Maurice Martin, who made it to the Olympic team's final 20 players, and Rutgers scoring machine John Battle, whom Boston Celtics general manager Red Auerbach likened to former all-pro guard Dave Bing. Temple's Granger Hall and West Virginia leaper Lester Rowe round out the coaches' first-team choices.Y
17: That was back when current WVU assistant coach Lester Rowe was in uniform, throwing down thunderous dunks on the Coliseum floor.Y
22: YOUNGSTOWN (IBA) - Signed Clinton Ransey, Clyde Vaughan, Lester Rowe and Ray Hall, guards.Y
