List of New York Knicks head coaches[edit]
I am nominating this list because I think it fulfills the FL criteria. This is part of the WP:FLCon.—Chris! ct 02:56, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You could also tell the readers that the Knicks have been coached by four of then Top 10 Coaches in History. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 03:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "Four coaches have been named to the list of the top 10 coaches in NBA history." Couldn't you just name them out? -- SRE.K.A

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There have been 24 head coaches for the New York Knickerbockers franchise. The Knicks are an American professional basketball team based in New York City, playing in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). - The intro sentence should be the second one not the first one. The first one should go at the end somewhere of the prose as it is standard for FL's to have the overall count of something to be at the end.
- They currently play their home games at the Madison Square Garden. - remove "the" before MSG no need for it.
- The team is currently owned by the Madison Square Garden, L.P. and coached by Mike D'Antoni, with Donnie Walsh as the general manager. - again remove the "the" before MSG, also link to General Manager?
- The second paragraph should explain who the current one is, and at the end of it you should place that sentence mentioned above.--SRX 00:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- No need to refer to the team as Knickerbockers more than once, and no need to link New York Knickerbockers to the Knicks page. Just says New York Knicks, unlinked.
- "Top 10 Coaches" should be "top 10 coaches".
- Rick Pitino should be linked in the image caption.
- "Holzman was the franchise's first Coach of the Year winner and its all-time leader in regular season games coached"→"and is its all-time leader"
- Since the asterisk and dagger never occur bolded in the table, they should not be boldface in the key.
- I would shorten the name of the "Reference" column to "Ref" to save space.
- Change Sports Reference to Sports Reference LLC in your refs.
Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
These items were not completed as above:
- "Besides Holzman, Pat Riley, Lenny Wilkens, and Larry Brown have all been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach."→"as coaches."
- "Four coaches have been selected as the Top 10 Coaches in NBA history."→"Four coaches have been named to the list of the top 10 coaches in NBA history."
Well done. Support from KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
