So my conference in Phelan sucks.  Once again no humans joined, and in fact heading into recruiting this year I have the 6 best players in the league, 8 of the top 13, and 10 of the top 25....and thats assuming I don't pick up a transfer with my scholarship.

So since my RPI will once again plunge when I enter non-conference play I need some ideas to keep myself amused.  HD themed drinking games, weird stats to keep, I am open to pretty much anything, especially since next season is likely to be as bad or worse than this season.

You'll need creative promotions to draw a crowd to your games.  One that I used , "Viagra Night", was a disaster. Everyone left at halftime and went to the motel next door.  

Another, "Javelin Night" was OK. My team has never been more attentive!! But it took me two days to resand the gym floor.

For better or worse I want to make a run at the NC which I think we are in position to do over the next two seasons.  After that I might evaluate making a move, but for now I want to try and see this through.  It's just unfortunate that we have lost all the human coaches over the last few seasons...not that we ever had a ton but at one time I think we had 4 or 5 maybe

Don't you have custodians at your school?  What kind of low budget operation are you running over there?

That is possible...

I was thinking I'd try to get a 50 point scorer for a single game

With the exception of pep band director, I think you just described my first girls' basketball coaching job to a T there al.

Lead the conference in every category, with a different player - one for points, a different one for rebounds, a third for assists, a 4th for steals, a 5th for blocks. Take it as far as you want, though having more than the 5 starters lead in something would be pretty tough I think.

Foul out enough players on the other team so that you are playing 5 on 4. I nearly made it in OOC, but came up just short.

they'll just reinsert a player with 5 fouls if they run out of active players to field a 5 man team...

100% of distro to your best player and you'll have it, easy.

The most fouls I have seen for one player in a game was eight.  See if you can beat that.
