Let's see if we can get 24 teams for season 2.

NBA76005

The following coaches are banned for season 2. These 11 teams all won 48 or more games. The other 13 coaches can be used again by the same owner or by a different owner. Most all of the top teams had modern coaches who were and still are active in this century. Let's see if we can get some more old time coaches in season 2.

J.B. Bickerstaff
Mike Budenholzer
Mike D’Antoni
Billy Donovan
Phil Jackson
Steve Kerr
Jason Kidd
Ty Lue
Doc Rivers
Quin Snyder
Erik Spoelstra

Same rules as season 1 - You pick a head coach and you can only use players who played for him in that season. You pick an arena he coached in, and you must pick at least one player for each franchise that he coached. Players can be on more than one team if they qualify for that coach. This is only for head coaches. Assistant coaches do not count at all.

Salary Cap - $52M
No clones, no waivers, no rookies, no trades
Auto draft
NO DUPLICATE COACHES IN THE LEAGUE! Once a coach is taken no other team can have him for that season.

I am going with Bill Sharman so far. Might take a second team.

Don't forget, you need at least one player from each franchise he coached at. He's got 10 I think.

Correct, I even took it one step further and made sure I had an ABA nugget, and NBA nugget.

Thank you for the reminder as this is easy to overlook.
