I'm in a battle with another school for a recruit that has a "late" signing preference". At the end of phase 1, I was VH priority for the recruit, and the opposing school had the recruit as H priority.

In between phase 1 and phase 2, the school I was competing with became a "SIM AI" school (they were human coached during the battle). All of a sudden, that school is up to VH after the first round of phase 2.

I'm wondering.....does SIM AI get extra recruiting money/power just for being SIM AI if my opponent had ran out of cash? I had reason to believe that my opponent was maxed out (because of the amount of other battles). I was fairly sure that the other school was either maxed out or broke by the end of phase 1, though I can't be 100% on that.

I've also wondered about coaches that do not renew for the next season. Does the new coach or SIMAI get allocated new funds when they take over for phase 2 of recruiting?

New coaches get the full cash, not sure if SIM does.

OK - now suppose the previous coach spent all 20 HV's and a CV on a recruit, does the new coach get to have more HV's and CV's??
I'm just confused by how this situation is handled, and find it unusual that the recruit went up to VH after the sim took over.

1, I don't think a new coach can send more.
2. Did the teams prestige go up? Did the preferences change?

Wasn't there a semi-recent post where human coaches were basically experiencing the opposite effect? They'd take over a team where simmy had spent 20 HVs on a kid and gotten to H or VH then when the human coach came in they dropped to moderate or low but couldn't send any more HVs because simmy had maxed them out?

yes

part of the apparent array of "features" in 3.0 designed to make being the new coach of a team awful
