 * Nominator(s): Dabomb87 (talk), 

Co-nom with. We hope that this will be the first successful nom of a future featured topic on the Basketball Hall of Fame. Thanks in advance for your comments. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:45, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support- I cleaned it up a bit, fixing the starting position of the chart and de-sorting the reference column, but now it has my full support. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Very well-referenced list. Excellent work. --Carioca (talk) 19:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment -- Excellent list, the only thing I have to say is why not actually mention who the first 3 coaches to be inducted were? In addition, do the 2009 inductees not have achievements?-- T ru  c o   503 22:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They have achievements, obviously. But since we use achievements that are listed on the hall's official entry online and the formal induction doesn't come until September (and they don't update the site very often), the entries are emptied. As for the first 3 coaches, I will add that shortly.— Chris!  c t 23:41, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support -- Meets WP:WIAFL.-- T ru  c o   503 22:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Comments from --  SRE.K.A.L. 24 [c]
 * I'm planning to help out with the BHOF FT drive, just so you guys know.
 * Great! Dabomb87 (talk) 13:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't this be (coaches) instead of (head coaches)? The term head coach probably came after the inception of the BHOF. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  06:30, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point, and the HOF website agrees with you. I'll move it. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Don Haskins was also part of the 1966 Texas Western champions, just so you know, since you guys didn't include that into the article.
 * So what about this one? --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  20:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you're saying here, but his entry in the table says "NCAA championship (Texas Western, 1966)". Dabomb87 (talk) 21:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm saying that he was also inducted with the Texas Western team, and should be included in the lead. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  21:35, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that statement is inaccurate. The team is inducted as a whole, but the induction doesn't extend to each individual within the team. That is why Haskins was inducted separately.— Chris!  c t 21:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. See this LA Times article, which makes no mention of his being inducted with the team. I did add a sentence that he was head coach of the team. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:01, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No lead picture?
 * We have a lot of them in the article right now; which would you suggest? Or do you think we should use another picture of something besides a player? Dabomb87 (talk) 20:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I would suggest Auerbach, Daly, Krzyzewski, Jackson, or Riley, since those are probably the most notable coaches with images. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  20:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done, but I put Wooden up there. I daresay he's well known among anyone who knows basketball well. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I barely follow college basketball, so sorry if not listing Wooden on my suggestions bothered you in any way. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  21:35, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * "...seventy-nine more have been inducted since." --> "...a total of eighty-two coached have been inducted."
 * Done, though I worded it differently. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * "Three coaches have also been inducted as players: John Wooden in 1960, Bill Sharman in 1976, and Lenny Wilkens in 1989." - So are the years their player induction years, or their coach induction years? --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  19:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's pretty clear from the context that those are player induction years, and you can easily look at the table if you can't tell. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to know if it could be clarified more. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  20:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Not really. I think it's clear enough, and adding more info might actually confuse the reader more. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * "...led his teams to NBA-record 25 consecutive postseason victories (1996–2003)" - "postseason victories" --> "postseason series victories". --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  20:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Good catch, done. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There's probably more on the table that needs clarification, so it would be nice if you could check some of them. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  21:35, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I couldn't catch anything else along those lines that needed fixing, although I made a couple other minor fixes. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:01, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Though I would suggest you list achievements for the 2009 coaches, even if they don't have a BHOF website yet. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:20, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Handpicking which achievements to include involves with NPOV issue, that's why I preferred not to do so.— Chris!  c t 23:43, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Definitely agree. I'll probably be helping with the BHOF awards, just so you know. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  23:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support – Easily meets and exceeds FL standards. I did a review on the article's talk page before it came to FLC, and a second look turned up nothing of concern.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 22:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support thanks for addressing my concerns. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Well done, Rambo's Revenge (talk)  22:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
