Only a collegiate head coach, thus fails WP:NHOOPS after satisfying none of the other requirements. Also fails to satisfy WP:NCOLLATH. PROD removed with no reason given. GauchoDude (talk) 23:12, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - College basketball head coaches actually do meet WP:NCOLLATH, which reads: "College athletes and coaches are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics, mentions in game summaries, or other WP:ROUTINE coverage. Examples would include head coaches, well-known assistant coaches, or players who: 1) Have won a national award (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport), or established a major Division I (NCAA) record, 2)Were inducted into the hall of fame in their sport (for example, the College Football Hall of Fame), or 3) Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team."

• Keep per NCOLLATH. Jrcla2 (talk) 01:46, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I read the phrase "Examples would include head coaches, well-known assistant coaches, or players who: ..." as using a serial comma, meaning the entire phrase is subject to the list following for which the subject does not meet. In any case, GNG supersedes which has yet to be shown outside of WP:ROUTINE coverage. GauchoDude (talk) 13:07, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - you are not reading it correctly. It is saying that head coaches, well known assistants and players who (with list). The clue is the third item which reads "not just a player for a notable team." It doesn't say "player or coach for a notable team. Rikster2 (talk) 13:17, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
