Had a random Idea and am curious wondering if anyone else feels this would be a cool addtion. I understand also this addition would require ALOT of work when hoops dynasty already is recieving alot of improvements.

The idea is to add another tier above Division one and if you are following me, this tier would be the NBA. Only the most elite coaches go to this tier and are signed on actual contracts and can be fired for poor performance during or at the end of their contract. How would the season look though?

Potential issues -
College schedule -26 games
NBA -82
How do we combat this? The NBA tier would have 3 games per day for 1 Game a day worlds and 4 games per day for 2 games a day worlds. Currently a 1 game a day season runs 29 days so 3 games a day would make 87 games if ALL slots were played so an 82 game schedule is possible with this type of adjustment. Simply we would add a game at lunch time, so 1 game in the AM 1 at lunch and 1 at PM.

The draft/Combine/free agency period would happen during the recruitment period and exhibition games period for the college dynasty time. 

Resign period would happen during the Draft/combine and unsigned players would move to free agency after the draft is finished. 

Playoffs would run alongside the college playoffs and could easily spot the same best of 7 series so that they also take time during the conference tournaments.

What would be the requirements to become an NBA coach?
Well from reading requested lowering of the requirement to be a D1 coach very simply we can copy over the high current requirements for D1 to the NBA and then lower the D1 requirements.

What would this add?
As a real life High school coach some of my favorite memories aren't even when my guys are on the court, I love hearing the success stories when they go off to college and perform well. Coaches would be able to follow players on thier NBA careers and say "I coached that guy." or "My PG from my championship season won the NBA title today." This would also add a new competition level that singled out the ELITE of the ELITE and also open up some big time D1 coaching jobs that alot of coaches want a chance to go after.

THIS WAS A SPUR OF THE MOMENT IDEA AND ANY FEEDBACK IS WELCOME.

I also understand that Hoops dynasty as a whole needs alot of work but I'm just curious if anyone else would find this to potentially be a future idea.

Thank you everyone for reading!

First off, you are welcome for reading :)  I think it would be fun, especially the idea of watching "your kids" at the next level.  The draft would be difficult to do to get all 30 coaches on at one time I would feel.

Three games a day is a ton to be able to game plan, that would be an issue.  But... you can't lengthen the college offseason to compensate for the NBA season.

But, if it happened I think it would be really neat!

The tricky part is, of course, making sure the colleges and NBA end at the same time.  Would it be a problem if an NBA playoff lasted 7 games instead of 4?

They'd also need to decide how long an NBA career will last. They can't play forever. Will their skills decrease as they age?

I doubt this thing would ever happen, but I love al's idea, and it's already programmed in: potential!

Young players would have positive potential, and as they aged it would max out and turn to the 4th (so-far-unseen) level: yellow, or negative potential. You could devote all of your bench guys' practice to skills, since their STA wouldn't matter. Or not, and try to run people out of the gym. 

I definitly think it would require alot of work but could really add a lot of benefits to the game. It also becomes a very optional top tier, the NBA is not for all coaches. Its grueling and a completly different mindset of coaching, your not longer developing but instead trying to mesh together the best 12 guys you can find to make a championship team.

This would be awesome

IF it did happen, the firing system would have to be a lot better off... all levels (it needs to be anyway)

Love the idea but...it took you this long to think of it? :-P

I'm picturing a world with D-Leagues and International leagues, etc, where you can go from pro to college and back as a coach, etc.

I really would like sir seble to see this! I want to coach my Detroit Pistons !!

Thinking of how to do the draft, it could be done on a 1 pick per hour thing, where starting at 9am pick 1 then continue for 64 hours and coaches could rank their picks on a pre-board to properly pick when their time comes

If a coach was pick 30 they wouldn't have to be on for the first day of the draft unless they were looking for a trade

I guarantee you that the HD guys have at least thought of and eventual NBA-like league, if that makes you feel better!

Montepaschi Siena!

They have the model for the game, Hardball Dynasty.  That game has a draft, domestic and international players, minor leagues, coaches with strengths, scouts, potential, and other things I am sure.

When they released HD it really hurt the baseball SIM as tons of owners switched over.    Just sayin' 

I think the desire for an NBA that goes along with HD is high as many have expressed interest before. I like the concept as I would love to follow my players. I just think it would be such a significant change that would require a lot of time and effort and it will never happen.

I dnt think this would happen but I really hope it does it would be sick
