Looking back I kind of wish I read the manual and help threads when I started. I decided to figure out the game as I go, which I did for the most part, through trial and error, and I ended up loosing quite a bit.
Here are some of the dumb things from the beginning of my first season:
- kept my full roster for a few games to see what they were made off
- on my first week I actually thought training was on a daily bases, so i changed it a few times
- hired a lvl.6 trainer off the bat and trained 24 & 25 yo; also hired lvl.6 doctor and PR manager
- purchased old and useless players because they had HOF potential
- played my games with normal enthusiasm

Haha serve me right ain't it few season ago, not known what BB is made of that moment, and not expose enough to the true and fair game environment.

Now I got my trainee Firdaus and hes looking good ^^, together with Ghani, Faris, and Zakaria is progressing nicely :)

Okay I also made way too many mistakes starting out haha.

Some of them are listed below:
1. I bought more than 6 trainees under 21 because I didn't realise you could only train 6 players on 2 position training.
2. I thought that the suggested position was used for training. So I bought lots of PGs and tried to train pressure for PG only and didn't realise that the players had to play minutes.
3. I didn't pay attention to height on my trainees so I was training guards and centers at the same time and randomly training different things.
4. I didn't realise training took place on friday so changed the training after every game.
5. Didn't realise CT halved enthusiasm.

Any many others hahaha

I thought having a thread like this would help me as well as the many other new players. To the BB veterans, what is the one thing you wish you had known when you first started that you ended up finding out (possibly the hard way) as you played the game more and more?

That the BBs were going to add potentials to players after I was already addicted.

There are not many things I wish I knew, since I read the manual about 10 times when I started playing and also kept reading the forum. :p

but still..
- I wish I didn't switch training between guards and inside players each week (in my first season).
- I wish I had raised my arena prices earlier and not lose extra income

I wish I knew that there's no height advantage in games. So a 6'6 guard won't have any advantage over a 5'11 guard in their match up. That's the most unrealistic thing at BB by far!

So is Kevin Durant a bad SG?
Was Magic Johnson a bad PG?
Was Ben Wallace a bad C?

I think there are exceptions to the normal heights, although obviously a 5'11" C is silly.
