:) is that cta card still available? ;)

boy, this is a fun thread to read...Ü i'm not implying anything... it's just that it's rare to see this number of posts in just a short span of time... giving me an idea on how to make my future threads appealing to all posters... haha!

can i use this thread for another topic which uses the same thread title?

(not off-topic anymore...)

i read from the rules that the coach rating is used in the early leagues... and some uses matchup rating (like me...) in later seasons...

does this coach rating still used today?

I think this one has to be closed...

No, it's fine as it is right now.

maybe you are right.... this one is most active thread... but also most funny one (:

In American sports vernacular, a trainer is not someone who helps the coach teach skills. At best he might train stamina and conditioning, but that person is probably called a strength and conditioning coach. At the junior level, the trainer hands out towels and carries the clipboard for the coach.

Whether the Celtics win the NBA Championship is probably not resting on Ed Lacerte's shoulders.

The function that is being performed by the "trainer" would probably be called an assistant coach, especially if the head coach is someone like Doug Moe who sits in his office handicapping greyhound races while the assistant coach runs the practice.

But then it would naturally occur to people playing a game like BB that there might be something like a head coach function, someone who does a better or worse job at motivating players and making substitutions.

The use of "trainer" is kind of like the word "practice" - it doesn't mean much to people, or means something entirely different. It helped changing "practice" to "game shape". It would make sense to change "trainer" to "assistant coach".

Then when people ask about the "head coach", it can be explained that they are the head coach (and GM and President)
