List of Boston Celtics head coaches
I think this list does meet featured list criteria. If you guys have any questions or comments, I would try to answer them. Gman 124 talk 17:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC) The Rambling Man (talk) 17:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - I originally created this, and then improved it a little after Gman nominated it. I think it meets the criteria. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  17:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * "while the 1959-to-1966 domination of the NBA Championship" - not keep on the wikilinking here - perhaps "the domination of NBA championship from 1959 to 1966..."?
 * 1959–1966 - I think 1959–66 is better.
 * "The current coach ..." - "As of June 2008, the coach of the ...." - provides a milestone.
 * Games Coached - Games coached.

 * "while the domination of NBA championship from 1959–66, with eight straight titles" and "The franchise won eight consecutive NBA championships from 1959–1966" - a little repetitive.
 * Can you make the GC, W, L, W-L%, etc columns the same width? Would be aesthetically improved.
 * Auerbach's image caption should be Celtics, not celtics.
 * Heinsohn's image caption should take en-dash, not hyphen.
 * Fitch caption should link to Fitch, use an en-dash and have a period.
 * Did all comments -- Gman 124 talk 18:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Although I haven't seen it on other head coach lists, is there a reason why Playoffs doesn't have a W–L% col?
 * Added W–L% col for Playoffs. -- Gman 124 talk 18:25, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Auerbach caption should have a comma after Celtics.✅
 * Fitch's caption needs a "the" between "won" and "1981" and needs to have "year" capitalised.✅
 * Auerbach's Coach of the Year years in the table need an en-dash, not a hyphen.✅
 * You have single and double daggers in the key but not in the table.✅


 * Support This looks pretty good now after Rambling Man's issues were resolved. Gary  K ing ( talk ) 18:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This page is orphaned. There are no links to any article in the mainspace. I think you should add a link in the main article at least.--Crzycheetah 18:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
