I am renominating this for featured list because I feel it still meets all of the FLC. I've based this list off of WP:FL List of North Carolina Tar Heels men's head basketball coaches and FL List of Oklahoma Sooners head basketball coaches.

Comments
  • Not failing the criteria necessarily, but the big red link is a pretty ugly opening.
  • Worth linking head coach (since that's what the list is about).
  • "three year" hyphenate.
  • You abbreviate SWC but then don't use it on the next opportunity.
  • Replaced that following Southwest Conference with SWC NThomas (talk) 21:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "ranked #8" MOS doesn't like # (MOS:HASH)
  • Where are Bob Knight's awards referenced?

  • Higginbotham to Matadors makes for slightly odd reading. I understand it's chronological but it still seems a little strange.
  • Any suggestions? I know it reads strange, but I don't know how else to convey the information in the same style. NThomas (talk) 21:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not convinced the nickname is particularly relevant to this list of head coaches... The Rambling Man (talk) 15:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the List of Oklahoma State Cowboys head football coaches FLC, I had suggested adding the original team moniker since most of those coaches (6 of 13 coaches in this list) did not coach the team under its current moniker. Even though the current moniker has been used longer than the original (Matadors: 11 years; Red Raiders: 74 years), I think not including it would show WP:Recentism in the article. I've rewritten the the begining of the second paragraph. I think it "flows" much better now. Here's the edit NThomas (talk) 18:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm certain we don't need to link "bid" to Wiktionary.
  • The only reason I linked it to wikitionary was because of your comments on this FLC. Seemed like the right thing to do and carry over the link to here too. NThomas (talk) 21:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ahah. I think it was just the turn of phrase that confused me there "received their bid". In BritEng, that'd be more like "they made their first postseason bid"... either way, if it's consistent and no-one else makes a fuss then why should I?! The Rambling Man (talk) 15:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sounds good to me! If I had known that Wiktionary had an entry for bid in that original FLC, I would have linked it for clarity. I'm glad you caught it. NThomas (talk) 18:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Supported last time around, I see no reason not to do it again.—NMajdan•talk 16:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Support – There would appear to be a typo in here: "started and lead the program until Victor Payne replaced him after two seasons." "lead" → "led". Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:13, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments
  • Refs 6 and 7 lead to the same document.
Oops. Replaced with intended reference. NThomas (talk) 02:29, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "a three-year conference champion winning streak." Championship, perhaps?
I might have more later, but I'm not seeing anything else now. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 22:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review! NThomas (talk) 02:29, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
