A little short, but I still think it fulfills the FL criteria.—Chris! ct 23:57, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- In the image caption of Rudy Tom, it says, "Rudy Tomjanovich is statistically the Rockets' most successful coach." Can you make it more specific more the readers? How bout, "Rudy Tomjanovich has the most wins as a Rockets' coach." or something similar. It shouldn't be most successful since he doesn't have the highest winning percentage.
- Key to 100%.

Resolved comments from SRX
Oppose/Review by SRX
- However, after four losing seasons,[2] the team was sold to a group of investors based in Houston.[1] - it's not grammatically correct to start a sentence with "However."
- I reviewed a list like this before, main reason I oppose; something about the coaches history should be added, like who was the first one, which one led the Rockets to a NBA title? It should also be explained how GMs are different from Coaches, and what they do, and their history.SRX 21:10, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- With regard to your second point, why do I have to talk about the GMs since this list is about coaches? Also, none of the other coach list talk about the GMs, why should I do that with this list? I don't understand your oppose at all since everything else is easy fix.—Chris! ct 21:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fix point 1 and add some words about first coach and the coach who led the Rockets to NBA titles.—Chris! ct 21:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops, I confused this with a baseball managers article, sorry. But, if you are going to mention the GM in the lead, it should be in the list itself, if it's not, it should be removed.SRX 22:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done, I remove the GM bits.—Chris! ct 22:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Well, what should I do? Should I replace it?—Chris! ct 05:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Contact User:Eversman, the uploader and ask him to provide information. Alternatively, here is a replacement image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cunni_doing/361065351/. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:49, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I contacted the uploader. Also, the flickr image says All rights reserved, are you sure I can upload it?—Chris! ct 03:33, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the delay, and I did not look at the license before, so I did not see the "all rights reserved". No, the image cannot be used. If there is no free alternative, I guess we have to wait for the uploader to add in information or go without an image. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:06, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, if no free alternative is available, I'll used a picture of the team arena just like other head coach lists. Thanks—Chris! ct 03:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've replaced the image with another that has proper source info. A bot removed the previous one.—Chris! ct 21:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
