Talk:Bill Bowerman

message: I just pruned the "Athletes coached by Bowerman include:" list by two names, using a very simple algorithm: I looked up the names in the index of the Kenny Moore biography, and if they weren't in the index, I deleted them.
I don't think this is intended to be a complete list of athletes coached by Bowerman. In the incidence of this partial list, I think being mentioned by Moore is actually a pretty low bar for inclusion. Opinions? --Pjmorse 13:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Or whatever they are called. Seems like the wiki page on Bill Bowerman should have reference to his fight against the Rajneesh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.117.164.28 (talk) 23:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I realize this is a very old discussion, but I agree, there should be some mention of the Rajneesh battle.  Properly sourced and kept trim, of course.--Surv1v4l1st ▌Talk|Contribs▌ 20:11, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Rajneesh

message: In the movie Without Limits, Bowerman insists that Prefontaine only calls him by his first name, Bill, due to the fact that the meanest person Bowerman ever met insisted that he call him coach. Do we have any idea who that might have been? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.128.113.204 (talk) 02:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Call Me Bill

message: Does anyone have a free photo of Bowerman that we can use on this article? The one we do have is fair use, but I really think we can obtain a free use one. Metros (talk) 14:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo 

message: Several sources list the birthplace for Bill Bowerman as being Fossil, Oregon. However, Kenny Moore's book "Bowerman and the Men of Oregon" (page 20) states that Bowerman and his twin brother were born in Portland, Oregon, and later moved to Fossil following the divorce of Bowerman's parents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammitch (talk • contribs) 17:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bowerman's Birthplace 

message: I am about to revert the addition of the note on Barbara Bowerman's death. I found some sources, such as this, but I don't know if her sad passing, about a decade after Bowerman died, is relevant to his article. This page seems under-watched, but I'd be interested in some other thoughts, and possibly a link to policy / guidelines. Bigger digger (talk) 16:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death of Bowerman's wife 

message: The Good Conduct Medal is strictly an award for enlisted men, and as an officer, Bowerman would not have been eligible. Officers are held to a higher standard, and are not rewarded for good conduct. Unless someone has a good cite for it, we need to remove the mention of this medal. --rogerd (talk) 21:12, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
