UNSIGNED COACHES & Coach Rules

COACHES

*TEAMS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A COACH SIGNED ON THEIR ROSTER AT ALL TIMES*

There will be a list kept of ALL UNSIGNED COACHES & ALL CURRENT COACHES

**GMs will be able to send Player Rep offers ANYTIME for ANY UNSIGNED COACHES**

There will be a COACH CAP set at 2.000M that will NOT EFFECT TEAMS SALARY CAP

*The MIN SALARY that can be offered is 0.500M*

*The MAX SALARY that can be offered is 1.500M*

*The MIN TERM that can be offered is 1 YEAR*

*The MAX TERM that can be offered is 3 YEARS*

*TEAMS CAN ONLY MAKE 3 COACHING CHANGERS PER SEASON*



COACH FIRING

GMs MUST post on the FIRED COACHES thread if they wish to release a signed COACH from his contract

*IF COACHES ARE FIRED DURING THE SIMMING SEASON, THEIR CAP HIT WILL STILL COUNT TOWARD THAT TEAMS COACH CAP (2.000M) FOR THE REST OF WHATEVER SEASON THEY ARE FIRED*

Example,

HC Cool Guy (99) - GENERALIST (A) - 1.5M UC 2025

Lets say Cool Guy (CG*) if FIRED in 2023.

CG* hit carries 1.5M -> 2025 according to his COACH INFO (1.5M UC 2025...means he is 'U'nsigned 'C'oach in 2025)

Since CG* is FIRED in 2023, his hit will still be 1.5M until the end of 2023 ONLY*

[^THAT MEANS THE GM ONLY HAS 0.500M LEFT (COACH CAP IS 2.00M) TO OFFER ANOTHER COACH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THAT SEASON]

*COACHES CAP HIT WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD TEAMS CAP IF FIRED IN THE OFFSEASON*


COACH TYPES

*COACH TYPES REFLECT THE STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED W/ EACH COACH

DEFENSEMEN

COACH DEVELOPMENT

Just like players, COACHES will be REWARDED for their success and PENALIZED for their failures


The COACH GRADE SYSTEM is as follows:

ALL (+/-) WILL ONLY EFFECT THE COACHES 'GRADE' (A,B,C,D,E,F)

EACH GRADE HAS 3 TIERS (+/NEUTRAL/-) - EX. (A+/A/A-)


UPGRADES

COACH MAKES PLAYOFFS -> REWARDED (+1)

COACH MAKES CONFERENCE FINALS -> REWARDED (+2)

COACH WINS PRESIDENTS TROPHY -> REWARDED (+2)

COACH WINS STANLEY CUP -> REWARDED (+3)


Example,

HC Cool Guy (99) - GENERALIST (B) - 1.5M UC 2025

-> Makes PLAYOFFS (+1) & CONFERENCE FINALS (+2)

-> HC Cool Guy gets (+3) added to his (B) GRADE

[B+, A-, A] -> (A)

Therefore HC Cool Guy will be an (A) come next season.

***ONCE A COACH REACHES (80 years old) HE WILL NO LONGER BE APART OF THIS LEAGUE***


DOWNGRADES

COACH MISSES PLAYOFFS -> PENALIZED (-1)

COACH IS FIRED -> PENALIZED (-2)

COACH END SEASON W/ BOTTOM 3 TEAM IN STANDINGS -> PENALIZED (-3)


Example,

HC Cool Guy (99) - GENERALIST (B) - 1.5M UC 2025

-> Misses PLAYOFFS (-1) & is FIRED (-2)

-> HC Cool Guy gets (-3) subtracted to his (B) GRADE

[B-, C+, C] -> (C)

Therefore HC Cool Guy will be a (C) come next season

***ONCE A COACH REACHES GRADE (F) HE WILL NO LONGER BE APART OF THIS LEAGUE***
