Did you know... that Nick Kerbawy did not receive his college tennis championship trophy until 14 years after winning it?

... that Nick Kerbawy did not receive his college tennis championship trophy until 14 years after winning it? Source: "A Slight Delay" by UPI, May 17, 1949 ("In 1935, Nick Kerbawy won the Michigan normal tennis championship. Apparently there was some delay in delivery of the trophy. It didn't show up until yesterday.")
ALT1 ... that Nick Kerbawy served as a general manager in both the NFL and NBA? Source: [1]
Article is new enough (created 9/7) and long enough. Appears policy compliant, reads well, thoroughly cited, and Earwig detects nothing nefarious. Hook is short enough and cited in-line. The hook relates to a campus tennis championship and is OK (the 14-year delay gives it some oomph). If the creator wants to craft an alt hook drawing on Kerbawy's diverse background as a general manager in both the NFL and NBA might be better, I'd be willing to come back and check it out. (Has anyone else in history ever been a GM in both NBA and NFL?) The only thing preventing a green tick is the QPQ which needs to be done. Cbl62 (talk) 00:42, 16 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

He also attended Michigan Normal College (now known as Eastern Michigan University), and played tennis there, winning the 1935 championship, although he did not receive the trophy until 1949. -> He also attended Michigan Normal College (now known as Eastern Michigan University) where he won the 1935 tennis championship, although he did not receive the trophy until 1949.
In c. June 1948 if it actually happened in June 1948, you don't need the circa. If it was around that time, I would recommend rewording to something more general, like "In the middle of 1948"
After McMillin was fired in the 1951 season -> during the 1951 season
best teams in the 1950s: no need for the colon, just end with a period and start the new sentence.
championship in 17 years, and the second time overall. no comma needed
However, Kerbawy helped build the Lions back up in the next season, and helped them win nine games and place second in their conference, narrowly missing the playoffs by a half-game the repetition of "help" is clunky. Maybe next season; the team won nine games and placed second in their conference?
Kerbawy was fired from his positions after just three seasons, in January 1961. -> Kerbawy was fired from his positions in January 1961 after just three seasons

Both hooks approved. Let the promoter choose which is best. Cbl62 (talk) 18:05, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
