Priority TC Focuses
Assign these first — high staff effectiveness AND high College Win Value importance.
-
1. Playmaking
(14.3/20 effective)
PRIORITIZE — Staff blended 14.3/20 for this focus. High win value impact (Ball Discipline, First Step). Assign to players needing these skills.
-
2. Shooting
(13.8/20 effective)
PRIORITIZE — Staff blended 13.8/20 for this focus. High win value impact (Outside Shooting). Assign to players needing these skills.
Caution Focuses
Staff effectiveness is low BUT these skills matter for wins. Use sparingly — don't rely on coaching to maximize development here.
No high-risk gaps identified. Staff adequately covers all high-importance Win Value focus areas.
Player-Level Guidance
Specific staff effectiveness per skill category for slot assignment decisions:
- Shooting development: Staff blended offense 15.8/20 + patience 11.8/20 = strong. Good slot for guards/wings needing 3PT or finishing.
- Defense development: Staff blended defense 13.8/20 + discipline 10.4/20 = solid. Good slot for perimeter or post defenders.
- Playmaking/IQ development: Tactics 10.0/20 is a staff gap. Offensive Execution (BBIQ) and Tendency Work are weakened by this. Don't over-assign these expecting big gains.
- Positional coaching: Guards (12.8/20) outpaces Forwards (8.8/20) — Allen's guard focus favors PG/SG development.
- Freshmen (0 XP): Set development vector via focus choice, not result. With 0 XP they develop less — use focus to establish habits for future seasons.
