Hello, there are former long-term basketball players and coaches who later in their basketball careers became high-ranking NBA executives (e.g. Jerry West, Pat Riley, Danny Ainge, Joe Dumars, Sean Marks, Larry Bird, Artūras Karnišovas, Elgin Baylor, etc.), however currently this infobox template do not have parameters to describe their careers periods as executives. Consequently, I suggest to add new parameters to this infobox template about executive careers (e.g. |eyears1=X–X |eteam1=X etc.). Since this RfC may attract a large number of participants and may affect many articles, I ask to start your statements by expressing whether you support or oppose the suggestion to include executive careers parameters to this infobox template and this way hopefully a clear WP:CONS will be reached about this suggestion. Thank you. -- Pofka (talk) 20:23, 6 April 2026 (UTC) |
