I can tell you poured hours into this project. How frequently are you planning on updating player stats for the upcoming season?

Re: Curtis Rowe, it looks like the current state of college stats on the site is as follows: --College stats for all players from the 1998-99 season on. --Before that, college stats for players who went on the play in the NBA, who were active in the NBA during or after the 1979-80 season. --Before that, college stats for some All-Time Greats. Rowe's stats aren't failing to appear due to some malfunction. They aren't up on the site at all (at least not yet) because he was no longer active in the NBA during or after 1979-80, and he isn't considered an All-Time Great. I'm guessing that the pre-1998 stats were sourced from the NBA Register, because it began publishing college stats with the 1980-81 edition (covering players who played during the 1979-80 season), and it includes an All-Time Greats section. As much as this represents the "low hanging fruit", this still must have been a massive data entry project....

I see many players having extensive playing career history in both NBA and college have gone missing from the team and player views. Use Curtis Rowe (UCLA 1969-1971) to debug whatever extract procedure or view is being performed.
