There are two photos on the article - one with Tark as a young player in college and one with him chewing a towel on the sideline as a coach. I just switched them, but then saw there has been some back and forth on these so I thought I'd start a discussion. It feels to me like Tark's main image should show him as he was when he was in the public eye - as a coach. There was some concern that he is chewing a towel and therefore that picture isn't appropriate. I disagree. It'd be different if this was Rick Pitino, but Tark chewing a towel is one of the iconic images of the guy. And you can still see his face quite plainly. There also seems to be a concern that the towel picture is not free while the college picture is. If true, then the towel pic should just go altogether, but if it's good enough to use on the article at all it feels like it should be the main picture. Tark the college player is not an image anyone remembers. Just my rationale, feel free to discuss further. Rikster2 ( talk) 13:39, 14 February 2015 (UTC) reply
