Leon Douglas information removal

Greetings. Why do you keep deleting mentions of Cordova High School from Leon Douglas? That is sourced information and the only referenced part of the article. I was wondering what is going on as I see you have done it twice with previous editors and now twice with me. CalDoesIt (talk) 06:16, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Why do you insist on putting such a negative record. He had a stellar basketball career and an average college coaching career. why are you trying to end his career on such a negative note. Do you see any of the other years when he coached high school basketball in Michigan and in Florida mentioned? Let him go out with some dignity. Coaching in a redneck back woods Alabama town is nothing to brag about. He didn't want anyone to even know he was there. The media got wind of it and had a field day, now you're trying to make 5 months as if it was his entire career. He's worked at many different places that are documented but not mentioned. Let it be.

Thank you for the response. Listing high school coaching stints is typical in basketball articles and there is no such anti-shaming policy that would warrant its exclusion. I have no ulterior motives in adding the stint to the article except for that it happened and he coached there. Douglas himself was complimentary of the experience during this media interview I had referenced. I agree in not attaching the team record as he was only there for a season but I will add his stint at the school back. I would include the other high school stints if I could find a reference for them and encourage you to add sourced information about his dissatisfaction if it exists.
