NBA Coach of the Year Award[edit]

I am nominating this article with Chrishomingtang because we think this article does deserve to be promoted into a featured list. Annoyomous24 20:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There are some names with asterisks, but without the yellow background.--Crzycheetah 21:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Forget to remove when I remove the color. Now fixed.—Chris! ct 22:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Annoyomous, by making this edit, you didn't improve this list, you made it worse! I strongly suggest you revert that edit.--Crzycheetah 22:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • how did I make it worst? this article is about coaches, not about players or buliders/contributors. Annoyomous24 23:39, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • You removed the {{sortname}} template from the "Names" column, so the names are sorted by their first names now.--Crzycheetah 23:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • OR just add back the {{sortname}} template at least.--Crzycheetah 22:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, Annoyomous24 made a correct edit by removing color and symbol of non coach hall of famer. It is just that he also remove the {{sortname}} template. I restore the template. So everything is good now.—Chris! ct 01:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok—Chris! ct 19:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • "top coach" not really - the coach who was voted as the best (or something similar).
Will change it once I thought of something better.—Chris! ct 18:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "legendary head coach" - legendary = peacock term.
Fixed—Chris! ct 18:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "1964–65 season, won the Coach of the Year Award that year." - that season perhaps? You've mentioned two years - 1964 and 1965.
Fixed—Chris! ct 18:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Consider an image for the lead, e.g. Pat Riley or similar, as he's won it three times? The Phil Jackson image is weak so you could lose it and make some space for the lead image.
Removed the Phil Jackson image. I don't like the Pat Riley image because it is too blurry. I will see what I can do.—Chris! ct 18:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Mike D'Antoni is the only winner to have a dual citizenship from the United States and Italy. - Is such a specific detail really worth mentioning?
Removed.—Chris! ct 06:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Zagalejo^^^ 06:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Shouldn't the nationality column be to the right of the coaches' names? Zagalejo^^^ 06:17, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is fine to have nationality column left of the name. All the award pages are like this. I don't think this is an issue.—Chris! ct 06:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any advantage to having it that way? The coach's name is definitely more important than the coach's nationality, so it should be the first thing people see when reading from left to right. Zagalejo^^^ 06:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I will have to modify all the award pages.—Chris! ct 18:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll help you out. Zagalejo^^^ 19:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks for your help.—Chris! ct 19:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I'm leaning toward support, although the article still looks a little bare-bones to me, with that big white space left of the pictures. Would it be possible to add win-loss records? Zagalejo^^^ 19:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that is a good idea. But I will need some help, though.—Chris! ct 19:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try to pitch in later tonight. Zagalejo^^^ 19:51, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done! Annoyomous24 21:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Do you think we need refs for those? The information is only one click away from this page, so we could probably do without the refs, but I'm wondering what others think. Zagalejo^^^ 23:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
