• Support; All other basketball players/coaches with ambiguous names have just (basketball) to differentiate them from other similarly named articles (except in rare circumstances such as Mike Brown (the player)/(the coach) and Jerry Reynolds (the player)/(the coach)). The coach identifier, I believe, in this case at least, is describing that he's a coach of non-descript association (e.g. football, volleyball, basketball)? He was also a former professional player. As he is notable in this context as being both a player and a coach in the basketball world, cutting it down to just basketball only would be the consensus decision that could be agreed upon.

(And before someone plumbs the depths of stupidity and protests ungloriously with "But he's not an orange bouncy sphere!" will get an equally stupid response: "He's not an American-invented indoor winter team sport, either.")--Downwards 05:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• Support convention in Category:American basketball coaches; more descriptive. –Pomte 06:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. What's wrong with Tony Bennett (basketball coach), which doesn't have either of those problems? I know I've tried to express the thought before at Talk:Grant Hill (basketball), but I still don't understand the theory. There are many people with "basketball coach" as the parenthetical in the category Pomte noted. Dekimasuよ! 07:40, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
