Going to mirror Mickyster on this one. However, I will add that it will always be a hit and miss when it comes to mentoring. I have, over the last few seasons bbmailed a few managers regarding their players when I come across a player not getting trained like the situation you mentioned, coach.

A rebuttal? I contacted (on Wednesday) a manager in my team who was new to BB but scored an 18yol HOF. I made contact staright away to see what he was thinking and if he wanted any help. He has accepted my help and I will endeavour to guide him. So, yes, sometimes we can help, sometimes we can't...

...as Mickyster said, "you can bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

:-)

Well there are lots of managers like this. I remember one famously prickly manager who I contacted about the training of his 19 year old. He was in division II but said he refused to cooperate with us in any way as it was his secret business and he wasn't going to give away any advantage by revealing his players stats. We already had his stats from just two weeks earlier but I guess that extra pop on a 19 year old was really going to change the balance in division II.

To tell the truth the name is just on the tip of my tongue and I just can't get it out. But it is better to keep identities secret I think for the integrity of the process.

Nice guess but he is actually the opposite, he is a total slurry and posts the stats of all of his players everywhere. About the quality of his players I suspect he would disagree.

I think what would be great is if we had a list of good managers and their training plans/needs we could let know if a player suiting their purpose comes along. Like a dating side for managers and trainees. But no chinese brides......

Not a bad idea, Mickyster, but the obvious flaw is other managers in your league knowing your training plans can predict your tactics a little easier imo...

...especially when managers are playing say their stud guards in big positions or vice versa...
