• charter member -> member

charter member means that you came from that league. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 20:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• The table should have a separator (I mean, colspan) between season in ABA and those in NBA

It isn't necessary. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 20:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

It is because it is clearer. Because people won't know when the team is in ABA or NBA. Also people won't know why some of the years aren't linked—Chris! _ct 20:29, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

DONE I also forgot that the Pacers won 3 championships in the ABA, so yeah... -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 21:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• "1980–81 NBA Coach of the Year" missing ref
• link George Irvine

This is not a sortable table, so there should be no overlinking. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 20:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, table are exception to WP:OVERLINK. But this is not a big deal, so I guess I'll drop this.—Chris! _ct 20:32, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• The Larry Bird note is unnecessary since this list is about coaches

Sure, but at first, I thought that readers may wonder why Larry Bird wasn't elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 20:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

DONE all without comments

• Support - This was on my to-do list, you beat me to it. Looks almost identical to the other NBA Head Coaches lists that are FL. Very well done. HoosierState^Talk 21:08, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• Larry Bird, who coached three seasons with the Pacers, is the Pacers' all-time leader for the highest winning percentage with .687. - comm before with.
• Bird is also the only coach to win an NBA Eastern Conference championship with the Pacers, in the 2000 NBA Playoffs, but lost in the 2000 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. - sounds confusing. How about, ..with the Pacers, winning the 2000 NBA Playoffs, but losing the 2000 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.
• Remove the extra space between the lead and the first section, as it is causing a break with the Table of Contents.
• Coaches: The note 3 championships (1970, 1972, 1973)[4] - like in your other list, should be 3 ABA Championships (1970, 1972, 1973)--TRU_CO 22:28, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

DONE all. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 00:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
