Terry Coner
American basketball player (born 1964)
Terry Bernard Coner (born November 7, 1964) is an American basketball coach and former professional player. He was named Alabama Mr. Basketball while attending Phillips High School in Birmingham, Alabama. Coner played college basketball for the Alabama Crimson Tide for four seasons.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Terry Coner” as american basketball player (born 1964). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as american basketball player (born 1964). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60729167. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1964, 1987, 2015 and 2020.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
