List of San Antonio Spurs head coaches
Worked on this article in my sandbox then moved it. There aren't any pictures for the coaches becauseI could not find any images uploaded on Wikimedia. -- Gman 124 talk 16:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments from
 * Confusing with Dallas Chapparels mentioned first - mention Spurs first and say something along the lines of "...and former franchise incarnation..." (or similar)✅
 * "of the original version of the " - reads odd to me. Why not something like "...who played in the ..."?✅
 * "...in Dallas. In fact, ..." a little chatty. Drop the "In fact" and merge the sentences.✅
 * Order citations numerically if possible.
 * They are ordered like that automatically. -- Gman 124 talk 13:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, you can reorder the ref names. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Expand, link and then place (NBA) after the first use of National Basketball Association.✅
 * The lead contains virtually nothing about the head coaches (except Popovich). It needs to focus on the men, not the franchise.✅
 * Surely "Loses" should be "Losses"?✅
 * "Regular Season" can just be "Regular season" and the W &ndash L should lose the spaces in the table.✅
 * No-one elected to the BHOF so axe it from the key.✅
 * 2002-03 needs en-dash (in the coach of the year).✅
 * present doesn't need to be in italics.✅

 * All the refs links at the end of the lead look a bit odd, could they be placed anywhere else?
 * They are for the last sentence, so I don't know where you would want me to move those. -- Gman124 ( talk ) 23:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Couldn't the years in the "Term" column be linked?
 * Do you mean like link to the season pages, because all season pages for Spurs don't exist yet, I will once they do. -- Gman124 ( talk ) 23:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅  Gman 124 talk 18:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "San Antonio Spurs National Basketball Association" is there a word missing here?✅
 * No image.
 * as far as I know, there isn't any free images for use on Wikimedia projects. -- Gman124  ( talk ) 23:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 *  Oppose 
 * Basketball-reference is your only source. You need at least one more general reference. We can't rely on just one reference.✅
 * That nba page is one loooong page, can't you find another shorter source?--<font style="background:orange;">Crzycheetah 22:53, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What do the refs in the "references" column give to this list? All the info in the table is provided by the general reference, so why are there individual references from the same website? At least provide refs from a different website.
 * added one ref for Larry Brown and one for Popovich --<font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 22:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Why did you add more? I was actually saying to remove the older ones because they don't give more info than the general reference.--<font style="background:orange;">Crzycheetah 22:53, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ --<font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 14:01, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ref#13 should be note [a]. ✅
 * I think the term years should be pipe-linked to the seasons because some people believe that 1996, for instance, is the 1995-96 season while in reality, it is the 1996-97 season. The links are needed to avoid this confusion.--<font style="background:orange;">Crzycheetah 07:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ added links to terms. --<font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 16:53, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

 * You should find a picture somewhere to put up on the list.
 * ✅ <font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 00:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "The franchise won their first NBA championship as the in the 1999 NBA Finals coached by Gregg Popovich." should be "The franchise won their first NBA championship in the 1999 NBA Finals while being coached by Gregg Popovich."✅
 * In the sentence, "He is the franchise's all-time leader in both regular season and playoff games coached and wins.", I think "He" should be "Popovich".✅
 * You should link "2002–03 season".✅
 * In the sentence, " Larry Brown is the only member of the franchise that has been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as coach.", the last words should be "as a coach."✅
 * In the sentence, "Cliff Hagan, Max Williams, Bill Blakely, Dave Brown, Morris McHone, Jerry Tarkanian and Popovich spent their entire coaching career with the Spurs.", the last words should be "spent their entire coaching careers with the Spurs."✅
 * "Games Coached" should be "Games coached".✅
 * If all is finished, I'll support.✅
