Lots of old names here! Hope someone else from my days in DII will promote soon. The Wombats did really well in season 28 and I nearly promoted to the EBBL. We need more DIII.2 going up!
In addition to what Gully said, I also strongly encourage any new manager to ask for a mentor, for help or just suggestions, if you feel like you need it. Advice is usually helpful to avoid common mistakes. There is a global thread here

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr..., see the centre-left sidebar.
Also, if you follow your games online on the viewer, you could also log in into the chat in the lower part of the page. The NT, U21 manager or other veteran managers are often online for league games and you could ask questions or simply enjoy the banter.
Good luck everyone for the upcoming season!
