In general, people should definitely be suspicious of teams - especially D2 and D3 teams - routinely pulling in long distance D1 recruits. It’s not evidence of cheating, but it’s worth watching and reporting.

Anyway, expecting WifS to monitor and control the use of multiple IDs is laughable. I discovered an alias in one of my HBD worlds a few weeks ago. Once I was 100% certain, dude was leaving footprints over multiple worlds that would frighten a Sasquatch, I went to the commish. Commish went to WifS, presented the evidence and WifS came back with "There seems to be a link between the two users but we cannot be 100% certain". WifS left it at that so the commish went to the user(s). He closed up shop that day.

Point being, WifS isn't going to do anything.

Anyone familiar with the Tigerpark debacle in GD knows WIS is more willing to deal with drone/mothership accounts now than they used to be.

But unless it's just enforcing the 1000 mile rule, it still takes a lot of evidence of actual harm to get management to intervene.

Perhaps. But the alias I discovered in HBD was the most obvious I've ever seen. Trades every season in every world they shared. League transactions for both teams one right after the other finished. Same worlds every season. Check-in times minutes apart for weeks. But WifS couldn't be 100% certain and wouldn't act. The season was in the playoffs. All WifS had to do was say "OK, we will remove them if they renew." Nope.

A bad coach will never win the NC with a NC caliber team. Anyone that is talking smack against AB is a full on idiot.<-----------------That is a period.

never is a long time, tex.
i feel like there are probably a few cases of bad coaches winning NC.


also,, you kinda lost me in your first sentence .. could a bad coach win an NC with a team that is not NC caliber? just wasnt sure what you meant here

in fact, without splitting hairs..
there is one coach who everyone knows. and i dont think anyone (even mikey) would dispute this coach is bad... as in, awful at game strategy, awful at recruiting,
He may not be the worst HD coach of all time, but i think he can see the back of the line from where he is.

he won an NC.

no its not Jim Boeheim

just kidding, i actually love jimmy and am big cuse fan.

Jimmy B was just one Keith Smart baseline jumper away from 2 titles.

i only said it to beat the jimmyhaters to the punch.
not sayin hes perfect.
but he wins,
and i think his teams are fun to watch (some folks dont like the low scoring games, but i like the zone and low scoring often means close exciting games. and, i like when we win, and i dont mind when we lose cause i know jimmy will not disappoint in the post game presser.
and jeeeez, how can you not give props to a guy who has been that successful over that many years? at a minimum, you gotta respect that.

but back to the worst coach in HD. who has won NT... any guesses?
you really wont dispute it once you hear the answer.

If I lose my recruit that I’m battling with ab90 aka 0nly, I’ll write a support ticket crying collusion or some “fair play” bullshit because I don’t like it. Then I’ll stop buying seasons and just ride out on credits for the next year or so because I’m sick of the crap game.

Since you have an "open" alias, should we believe you?

Since benis has half a dozen brothers playing, including one with 30 teams under 3 different usernames, should we believe him?

You can believe me BFFF. I'd never lie to you.

I bet you won't. And if you do, nobody cares.
