... that the Korean War allowed Don Bragg to set a UCLA basketball record for most rebounds by a varsity freshman that stood for almost 40 years?
Source: "Because so many college students around the country had left school to serve in the Korean War, the NCAA had temporarily permitted freshmen to play varsity sports." (Wooden: A Coach's Life—offline) "MacLean now has 191 rebounds, setting a school record for varsity freshmen The old mark was 186 by Don Bragg in 1952." (The Camarillo Daily News)
Overall: Looks good. My only suggestion would be that the hook might be better to specify that he's a basketball player, e.g. 'that the Korean War allowed Don Bragg to set a UCLA basketball record for most rebounds by a varsity freshman that stood for almost 40 years?' Thoughts? Also, the special occasion request is fine. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
I was 50–50 on it before; I went and added "basketball" directly to the pipe.—Bagumba (talk) 03:01, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
