don't give up!
your team is good enough to make the postseason this year on paper, but scheduling never gave you a chance, as i wrote in our conf chat. I agree mostly with the0nly on scheduling but I think it's fine to schedule a handful of major conf teams you think you have a shot at beating just because our conference is so bad, and you don't have any opportunities for good wins there. with this conf, you should be winning at least 14 games in conf, and if you manage your non-conf well you'll get at least 20 wins and a postseason berth with that.
the0nly's run-on sentence of gameplanning advice sounds good to me. for example I don't usually let players shoot any 3s in D1 if they are under 70 per or so. i play 0 def against almost all sims. this alone probably would have saved you a couple conf losses.
recruiting wise, your team is pretty good...a little short on RB and team passing. I think your approach to HD3 recruiting is solid. BUT i think the0nly is right about fastbreak (haven't seen it work often at D1), and I think HD3 is making to recruit teams that go 11 or 12 deep, so I wouldn't go fastbreak/press now. if you're contemplating a change, I would not do that, personally.
