Michael Malone was fired by the Sacramento Kings so please change the article to indicate that he is the "former" head coach of the Sacramento Kings.

See:

Not done for now: USA Today says "... two people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.", while ESPN writes "... sources told ESPN.com Sunday night." Given that a formal announcement would usually be forthcoming, we generally wait the extra day or two for something more definititve. See WP:SPORTSTRANS for more details.—Bagumba (talk) 21:29, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Malone (basketball) → Michael Malone – Imagine this gets contested, and I think that is worthwhile. But, the basketball coach over the last month has averaged 1683 pageviews daily and over 52,000 total. Its median is 1431 views. Of all the pages with "Michael Malone", the basketball coach accounts for 97.9% of all pageviews. Since 5/4/23, he accounts for 97.2% of all pageviews. This, despite seven other pages. As a result, I do believe the basketball coach should have the base, non-disambiguated named for "Michael Malone".
