GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
I would advocate for the use of Template:Infobox college coach for her instead of basketball biography, as she is currently serving in that position.
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 

Could you make it clearer in the lead that she is actively serving as assistant coach? Right now it reads as she had previously served.

Is the Street & Smith mentioned in the high school career section this one? Don't want to be wrong but if we have even a redirect it would be nice to link it.
I think it's the same as Street & Smith. Linked. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:29, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
What is the Blue Star Index? I'm not certain if women's basketball is any different, but I imagine more reputable recruitment rankings are out there, like ESPN?
This source from around then (2003) says it's "a national recruiting service". It looks like it is still around because there are some recent articles mentioning it too. As for ESPN, I looked around the Web Archive from ESPN.com in 2004 but haven't been able to locate any women's basketball recruiting rankings. This 2004 article from Newspapers.com about Notre Dame women's basketball players mentioned Allen was a top-100 recruit on the Blue Star Index too. Don't see anything in Newspapers.com about Allen and ESPN. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:54, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
I question the need for the last tidbit about Caitlin Clark, given it is a seemingly non-notable independent newspaper, we are never given her total high school point total, and because it seems a little thrown in at its current state.
Removed. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:55, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
Any idea where she was a skill development trainer?
I didn't see anything. I don't think it's with any specific team. I think it's just a personal trainer type job. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:29, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
a (reference section):  b (inline citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism): 

Well-cited, with the links I checked (1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10; basically the most referred to ones) matching the info, however there are lots of instances of WP:REPCITE throughout the article that need to be cut down.
WP:REPCITE says "Material that is repeated multiple times in an article does not require an inline citation for every mention. If you say an elephant is a mammal more than once, provide one only at the first instance." I don't see anything that is repeated twice like that? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:34, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
@WikiOriginal-9: Should've clarified, I meant the "overkill" portion with consecutive sentences supported by the same refs. Jordano53 14:41, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
Covers all that needs to be covered
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 
Neutral
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 
None to be seen.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 
N/A. Would be nice if someone at Notre Dame could snag a photo.
Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
Overall, very solid article! Just a few fixes and this article will meet the criteria. Thanks for your quality work! Jordano53 04:02, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
