Nominator(s): --K.Annoyomous (talk) 03:36, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while since I've nominated an FLC! More than two years! It's great to finally be able to edit again. Anyways, back to the process. I am nominating this list because it first off meets the WIAFL, and is consistent with other NBA head coaches lists. I am also nominating this for FL because I need to finish what I started, and actually complete the NBA head coaches topic so that I can nominate that for FT. If there has been changes to the process or if there is anything I need to be updated on, please let me know. Thanks in advance! --K.Annoyomous (talk) 03:36, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tables must comply with WP:ACCESS. See MOS:DTT for help with this. Head coaches table are missing row scopes. Neither table has a caption (I imagine it easy to believe captions are unneccessary in this case, however the policy does not leave room for exceptions). Rejectwater (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply] Fixed. --K.Annoyomous (talk)* 22:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply] Image alts. See WP:ALT, especially the Bush/Blair and Queen Elizabeth examples. Alts are vastly improved, however I find it hard to believe the image of Flip Saunders was chosen due to it showing him biting his pen. Rejectwater (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply] Fixed. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply] None of the playoffs columns sort properly due to most cells use ndash to signify n/a. Replace ndash with ((sort dash)) to correct this. Ndash, does not apply, is not in key table. Regards, Rejectwater (talk) 00:44, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply] Fixed all the ones without replies. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 10:59, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin McHale is listed twice, once for each term. Negates the usefulness of a sortable table.
- I used the MLB managers lists format and created a separate section just for head coaches with multiple tenures. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 10:59, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't understand why you did that. It's redundant and unneccessary. Why not just list McHale in the main table on one line? Rejectwater (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - That will inhibit the readers to clearly see the chronology of the position. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The opening paragraph of the lead reads like a list of trivia. Should focus on the topic at hand.
- I rewrote some of the lead. Sorry to be a bummer, but there really isn't much I can add onto the lead. I made the lead look less trivial, but other than that, nothing much has changed. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 10:59, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - The size of the lead is appropriate to the article (I wouldn't object to it being longer, and believe it could be, but I think it is adequate in size). The content of much of the first paragraph, however, is outside the scope. Delete everything from "The team was one of two..." through "David Kahn is their general manager." Replace it with a description of what a Minnesota Timberwolves coach is and what they are responsible for. See WP:LEAD: "The lead should define the topic and summarize the body of the article with appropriate weight." Rejectwater (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I couldn't find a suitable definition of a head coach for the article. The description of the position varies across mediums. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
