Better assistant coaches?

[LouisvilleDerk]

I'm on my 9th season (5 seasons with Charleston Southern, 4 seasons with Temple), and every year my selection of assistant coaches is pretty weak. I never see assistant coaches with overall ratings higher than a B-. I wonder if my head coach's recruiting or scouting ability affects the choice of assistant coaches I get. Right now my coach is an overall A (A+ offense, A+ defense, A+ teaching, B+ recruiting, C- scouting), and my current assistant coaches are both B-'s (one has B's in offense/defense/teaching, one has B's in recruiting and scouting).

If my head coach's recruiting/scouting doesn't affect the choice of coaches I get, what does? Could it be loyalty to coaches (for example I have to keep my assistant coaches for 5+ years before I get a better selection), or possibly just as time progresses (maybe after season 10 or 15 I'll get better coaches), or maybe even what conference I'm in (though Temple is in the A10, and I was getting B-'s with Charleston Southern in the Big South).

I noticed my asst. coaching pools getting better as my team did better and I got more accomplishments, maybe those are the main factors.

Think about it. The Asst Coach rating scale is the same as Head coaches If Asst Coach was ranked higher than a B- would he realistically be an Asst Coach for anyone?

So your asst coach pool is always going to be at least a letter grade below your head coach rating.

I think this is a nice touch of realism in the game that if you have a good year or several good years, you're bound to lose an assistant or two.

I haven't noticed that the assistants' ratings go up, but I guess its possible.

Also, I noticed that AMB (Ambition) rating has a lot to do with how long an Asst remains an assistant.
