Chad :

It dépends on your goal. Do you want to move up at D1? If so, go to DII asap. Choose a program where you know you can recruit and, if it is possible, get one that was human owned. At DII, you will need to win consistently so be prepared to remain there 6 to 10 seasons before making the jump to D1.

If you do not care about D1, I suggest you remain at D3 until you get some winning seasons. But you can learn from D3 or D2, not a big difference. D3 is more location oriented, D2 is more about getting the right mix of players in and having a team philosophy.
I want to move up to division 1 but I want to build Chowan to a winning program. Also get my Loyality to a A+ home court to a C+ and perstige A+ not realistic I looked at the history and it says B+ was the highest it ever got. Also I might put in this as one of my goals. Be the longest tenured at Chowan in Allen world 6. If I accomplish all that will I be a favorite for a division 1 job?
Right now I see a long road to making Chowan a winning program, you are in a tough conference and the freshman and sophomores that you have are not on the level that will allow you to compete with them, Mickenly is the one young player I see that looks solid, but that's depending on how much his passing and BH will improve. In order to have a chance of getting a winning season you need to schedule 10 easy wins in non conf. Home Court is not something to focus on, I don't even pay attention to that, playing at home gives you a slight advantage. I'm not even sure there is anything more than a small decimal improvement between like a C- and a C. Playing a lot of home games also hurts your RPI, so you should be scheduling 10 easy road non conf games against sims that are in easy conferences that have a chance to get 20+ wins to help your RPI. In order to be the longest tenured coach you would have to stay like 15 seasons, that will be brutal if you spend those 15 seasons in a monster conference without fully understanding how to play the game. I have heard you say you have a mentor multiple times, ask him to help walk you through recruiting, to help you find good players that will help you succeed, if he isn't up to that site mail me and I will help you. I know what it's like to be a new player in a tough conference, my Rutgers at Newark team in wooden is in a tough NJAC conference, I have made some mistakes recruiting there but generally I feel I just get outcoached. I have seen posts in the coaches corner saying they forgot to recruit, or they started recruiting with 10 mins left in the period, but then they beat me in the season, and I end up with a low seed in the NT and lose in the first round.

Your goals should be 1. Get good players, if you need a discription of that just ask. 2. Try not to recruit players that are so bad you have to cut them, that hurts your reputation and makes it more seasons until you can move up to D2, also try not to break promises, it kills a player. 3. Get 10 wins in non conf consistantly 4. Beat all of the sims in your conference all of the time. 5. Scrounge up a win or two against a human in conference. 6. Get to the PI. 7. After you have done all of what's stated previously you should have a shot at getting to the NT. 7. Win games in the NT.

Im currently working on step 7 ;)

It's extremely easy to get any DIII team to A+ prestige. It's borderline impossible to get any DIII team to C+ home court. Don't even make that a goal.
How many seasons would you expect me to get the perstige goal done (C-)? Is there any info on how long home court takes? I am at (D-) right now. I generally have a stronger home stand than I do away. What about being the longest tenured coach at Chowan in Allen 6? I am thinking about making that a goal?!?
That depends on how good you get at the game, you need to consistantly do well in the NT, first step to doing that is to make the NT.

DONT FOCUS ON HOME COURT!!!!!

looks like that would be about 15 seasons, all you have to do is spend your money to achieve that goal, doesn't really mean anything. All you have to do to see how long that would take is count the seasons a coach was at a school in the history section of your team profile, my counting skills are shaky but I think it's 15

In my opinion, D2 takes more focus to master, because there's more battling and more recruiting options (that is, there are more than three internationals that might actually consider you). I actually think D2 takes more involvement than D1 throughout recruiting. In D1, at least high D1, by six hours after signings, there is nobody worth going after. In D2, there are players to be had late in recruiting. In both D1 and D3, you can build good teams while only checking in for a couple days during recruiting. In D2, I find that my teams really suffer if I'm not focused for 3-4 days. It's fun, but it takes a lot more investment.

No offense bud I am not taking any advice from you! You question my life works my life itself when I have proof that I am 21 and am a youtuber partnered with freedom sponsored by noscopeglasses.... That right there makes me not want to read your advice sorry.
Ok go ahead just trying to help, proof of that would be I spent like 20-30 minutes writing that, but keep on doing what your doing and losing! For the record I questioned your age and your stories I did not question whether you were a youtuber, you seem just like that kind of person. With the age I think it was your terrible writing that confused me, an example of bad writing is "You question my life works my life itself" is not clear and I don't really understand what your saying. Your sexual adventures with the people are super confusing and unbelievable, like coach K's daughter while coach K was watching, when his youngest daughter is like 30 something and married.

I appreciate all the information about the differences between D2 and D3. I think that I am going to try to stay in D3 for a while then, but am looking into switching into a conference with at least some human opponents. Thank you.

Monster is giving you you good advice, whether you like him or not the advice he's wrote is helpful. That said, I'd hate for you to continue thinking homecourt is important (very minimal significance), Focus on building a better team and winning games and your homecourt will improve without you even noticing.

And probably shouldn't tell brand new people to focus on building homecourt advantage first.

I think a big problem that I still have is that I focus a lot on D3 so when I play D2 I'm like holy crap what a stud, when in reality he's a stud D3 player and just an average D2 player. a great D2 teams looks like a midmajor D1 team and at least for me it's hard to differientiate between an elite D3 player and a great D2 player.

As well as in recruiting it seems you have to be really good and somewhat lucky in being able to pulldown or get dropdown from the D1 pool that become elite D2 players.

I don't think its important but I would like to build it up as well as perstige. I don't post on the forums alot I tend to keep it between myself and my mentor darnoc29099. He just messaged me saying do you trust me in the information I am giving you? Absolutley yes I do darnoc29099! Monster made it very personal with me and shouldn't have went there!

I'm not really sure what your referencing me going personal about, one thing to note about that is if you hadn't been sharing personal information I couldn't make things personal. I apologize for whatever I said that you are finding offensive, mostly I think I am just showing my confusion about what you are writing. If everything you have been saying about your life stories are true then bravo to you young man, sounds like you have had a life full of excitement and sexual adventures, it's so amazing that I couldn't believe it to be true.

I personally enjoy DII a lot more, so when you feel you are ready to make the move to a mostly-full DII conference, it's a fun move to make. DIII is dull in my opinion but is a very good training ground for new coaches. I'm glad that you are sticking with the game and enjoying it! You will always struggle your first few seasons, but once you learn the game's nuances, you will be addicted.

In addition, Chad, you can shoot me sitemails if you have any questions or need advice with your team. Good luck!

It's very hard (not impossible) to jump from DIII to DI. Yes, if you got the team up to an A+ prestige, you should be there.
moving from d3 to d1 takes more than getting a team to an a+. its very challenging and really only for coaches who are looking to stay in d3 long term because they want to, and then when they go to move up, they just happen to be d1-eligible. its not really a valid strategy for moving up quickly, unless you are a top d3 coach already.

coachward - just wanted to let you know that c+ at d3 is basically impossible, so don't make that a goal. the game just doesn't let it get that high.

whoever asked, there is no baseline difference in d2/d3, that only exists in d1.

I am currently qualified for Big 6 jobs on my Castleton State (15 seasons) and Linfield (29 seasons) although Linfield has been qualified for a few seasons now. It is not impossible, but it does takes long term consistency.
