Jasper,

Similar struggles in many leagues it seems. As the new commissioner in the DFW league this year, I see several traits common to how successful or how committed a coach may be, but bottom line it appears to be ACTION:

* How quickly did they pay their dues?
* How quickly are they putting their team together?
* How quickly are they making acquisitions?
* Are they asking advice?
* Are they interseted in watching scrimmages?
* Has someone adopted them to encourage and guide them?

If we have to drag someone to the water, rarely will they drink. You can only only hype it so much, the rest is up to them. Since this a hobby, your heart is either in it, or it's somewhere else. Barry "Commish" Stephenson
