Which would be fine. I'm thinking of simming 20 years and seeing what happens, then diving in.



It depends on my ratings and the other assistant ratings. I could be recruiting (Making calls, watching film), Running Practice (setting minute allocation each practice), Scouting (only done this once so don't remember the full details but I know the coach asks you questions about your opponent before a game, so you have to know things like where the team ranks in certain categories, info about their players, etc, its pretty deep. )

I do second calculation to determine how many years I HAVE to stay an assistant coach. This is weighted by my age, so the younger I am the longer I have to wait. For example, if I start at 25 and then get 7 as my years as an assistant then I won't allow myself to become a coach until 32. I can hold any assistant role during that time but can't apply for a job as HC until after my 7th year. Now, this gets a little tricky because I reduce the wait time by 1 year if I am an assistant on a team that makes the elite 8 or final four and if we win a national title then I remove the restriction altogether. The elite 8 has happened once and the national title once in all of the careers I have run. Then when I can apply for my first HC job I set a Prestige limit on myself. the highest prestige school I can coach at for my first job is determined by a goofy formula I made up. It's as follows ((Conf Prestige/3) + (School Presitge/3) + # of Wins) / 2, so for example say my Conf Prestige is 75, School is 60, and we won 12 games. It would be ((75/3)+(60/3)+12) /2 or (25 + 20 + 12) / 2, putting me at a school between 0 and 29 (rounding up). I take all schools who are in that range hiring a HC, put them a list randomizer and then randomize the list. I will randomize it based on the number of loses I had on the year, so if we lost 15 games I would hit randomize 15 times and the team on top is who I go to.


You Sir are CRAZY!! But I like it.

Thanks, that sounds like a road to take sooner rather than later.
