Is there an easy way to see how many coaches in each world have been in that particular world for every season from the start?

It would be nice to track that measure from season to season to gauge interest among veterans.

There is no need to discourage people from building Div III dynasty programs. Anyone who stops playing HD because they don't win in their first two or three seasons probably wasn't going to play long-term regardless of success. I think it is real simple, either you enjoy the game and have the time to play it or you don't. It is not for everyone and many people are going to sign up and then not enjoy the game and stop playing.

The real issue is how does WIS increase the number of new users who try the game. Some are going to stick their head in and then hit the road, some are going to stay for a couple of beers and then some are going to get belligerent drunk and start yelling, "Where is that Plumpy guy I keep hearing about"

Define Irony

dont check in that often, but just seeing that hurts. I havent been past the sweet sixteen since my last loss in the title game many seasons ago.

However, if I didnt have my DIII "dynasty" im not sure I would still be playing HD at all. I dont put in the time that I used to with gameplanning and went several days without checking in on my D1 teams last season, because its not as much fun. I will probably dump one of my D1 teams soon, just because of apathy.. I like the Nasmith world becaues of the common oppents each season and rivalries within the conference. To me this is what HD should be about...if you do it in D1 or DIII it shoudnt matter.

Personally I like competition, and couldnt care less about competing with experianced coaches, it just gives you more of an opportunity to learn what works and what doesnt...also if a new coach wants to walk into a good situation they can as I did in Crum and also did in DII Tark making a lateral world...in Naismith I took over a team that has made two NT appearances in 20 seasons...and wont leave until they return...the point is that there are differant options available to all new coaches if they want to walk into a good situation, they are there and if the want to build a program those opportunities are there as well...

To your statistical chart above...as I said I dont care if 100% of the NT is filled with coached who are new or old, but your chart is not practical as it does not tell the whole story...for example you have there that 9 coaches had 15 or more year experiance and those 9 only made up whatever percentage of the field...You stats fail to include whether those nine teams eat up the top 8 seeds, whether they dominate the tournament and what percentage of teams with 15 or more years made the tournament meaning if their are only 9 teams being coached by coaches with 15 or more experiance then 100% of coaches who fall into that category would have made the NT...no offense but the chart is worthless in that it doesnt prove or disprove anything...

Bottom line is the reason people dont sign up for HD is no one knows about it...I signed up in November simply because a buddy of mine told me about it...since I have joined I have referred 7 new coaches all of who would have signed up years ago (myself included) had we heard about it...They need to advertise on fantasy sites and Im sure volume would increase tremendously as I am sure 80% or more of HD users are involved in some sort of fantasy league.
