• Years in the lead should either all be linked or none should be linked.

• "The franchise won their only NBA championship in the 1971 NBA Finals while coached by the franchise's first coach, Larry Costello." → I suggest instead "The franchise won its only NBA championship under the leadership of its first coach, Larry Costello." to fix some of the redundancy issues that sentence has.

• Desperately needs an image. Use the arena if you can't find anything more appropriate, but check Flickr too.

The arena image looks terrible, and I don't know how to request Flickr photos or which ones are copyrighted. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 20:03, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

• If you are going to lead with the sentence "There have been 16 head coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks franchise," then "head coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks" needs to be bold and unlinked. I would suggest leading the article thus:

"The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, playing in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team has played their home games at the Bradley Center since 1988.[1] The Bucks are currently owned by Herb Kohl, with John Hammond as their general manager. Since the team was formed in 1968, there have been 16 head coaches for the franchise."

Just copied your version onto the article. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 20:03, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 18:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I added the arena image for the time being; hopefully a better one can be found eventually, but it works for now. Support from KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, playing in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). - link to basketball?
• Don Nelson is the franchise's all-time leader in regular season games coached, regular season games won, playoff games coached, and playoff games won. - How about you give us the exact statistics?--S_RX 02:27, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

DONE ALL -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 02:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• Don Nelson is the franchise's all-time leader in regular season games coached, regular season games won, playoff games coached, and playoff games won, with 884, 540, 88, and 42 respectively. - this would be better worded with the statistics in parenthesis next to the statistic.S_RX 03:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
