Coaches that sit on the fence

I know that I didn't want to play in the MidOhio with just one of my Fab5 teams and a generic board... I had to have a team that was on par with everybody else.

Maybe, social anxiety?;incompatible personalities?

We had a coach that gave a existing coach a board , high dollar bases for his entire team and the coach was instantly competitive , even beat Frank Jacobs , but then the coach just stopped showing up and was never heard from again.

I hope a new coach does not feel he can't bring out a stock team and board and join our league.
It costs big bucks for a team of all custom players at $10 apiece and 40 players = $400 plus a custom board @ $ 500 and then bases , decals, facemasks, a coach can easily be over $1200 . That is alot of cash to put out for anything !
So I say bring what you have and a good league will help the new coaches out , because as a league , you are only as strong as your weakest player.
