- Comment - @BeanieFan11: you really like your "first" hooks, don't you?! 🤦 I suppose this one is probably true, it's hard to find a counterexample although it's also hard to prove unless you can list all head coaches in all UD's sports through history. I suppose the fact that the college says so is reasonably powerful though, presumably they know... — Amakuru (talk) 21:55, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think I nominate that many 'first' hooks. This is the only 'first' hook out of my last 30 noms (I do nominate a lot of articles). Also, I'm pretty sure the school would know, given that they have decent records of their history, and other sources have noted the fact as well, e.g. this.

Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. No copyright violation detected. Hook fact is interesting and verified to the website of the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame whose bio on Laura LeRoy Travis (an inductee) has this fact clearly stated. QPQ was done. This hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 18:31, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
