List of Denver Nuggets head coaches

Worked on this article in my sandbox then moved it. Added image for one of the coaches, though, he only coached the team for less than a year. followed the format for List of San Antonio Spurs head coaches which I had created a few months ago. --Gman124 ^talk 23:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

• "The name Nuggets won, their new logo was a miner discovering an ABA ball." Two choices: either the comma needs to be changed to a semicolon, or remove the comment about the logo and merge the beginning into the previous sentence. The logo is trivial to the article anyway.

• "In 1976, the ABA folded, and the NBA decided to admit four ABA teams into the league, with the Nuggets being one of them, along with the San Antonio Spurs, the Indiana Pacers and the New York Nets."→"In 1976, the ABA folded, and the NBA decided to admit four ABA teams into the league, including the Nuggets, the San Antonio Spurs, the Indiana Pacers and the New York Nets."

• Since this team originally starts with a different name, it should be made very clear in the lead that you are referring to the history of the franchise, not just this incarnation of the team. Examples: "There have been 19 head coaches for the Nuggets franchise."

• "In 1976 Brown coached the Nuggets to the team's only ABA championship game." - comma after 1976.

• "Brown, Issel, Hanzlik, and Evans have played and coached for the Celtics." - completely irrelevant to the article. Remove.

• "As of June 2008 the current coach of the Nuggets is George Karl." - comma after 2008.

• Footnote 1: "Thus" should be followed by a comma.

• Use consistent formatting. Either use "W-L%" without a space or "W-L %" with a space; I prefer the former.

• References should be to "Basketball Reference" as the publisher, not to "basketball-reference.com". Also, "National Basketball Association," not NBA.com.

Y --Gman124 ^talk 16:56, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

• Change the reference titles so they match the actual titles of the webpages they link to. Example: "Doug Moe's Coaching Record" links to "Doug Moe Coaching Record."

• No reason for the Spurs coaches template at the bottom of this article.

  • Could expand the first paragraph.
  • Bernie Bickerstaff coached from 1995–97, and then Dick Motta coached from 1996–97. If Bickerstaff coached till 1997, shouldn't Motta's term start at 1997, not 1996? You need more of an explaination, I'll tell you.

I fixed the error.—Chris! _ct 22:38, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
