Hi all !

Thanks Coach Snuffy for the warm welcome. Glad to see you managed to stay in DII !

My club will obviously face one of the hardest challenge in its history: trying to stick around a bit in this league and not being relegated at the end of season. Tough work, especially when you have the lowest payroll in the entire league, and not to mention I've never been to DII before.

Wish you all a good season ! (and sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native speaker)

I hope the standings update soon. This will be my only chance to see my name in first place this year.


Won't be today 😞 Best case is late, late tonight.....most likely they'll be updated by the morning.

Howdy everyone! After barely surviving the Great 8 gauntlet I'm back in a season that will determine if I aim for playoffs with my current core or switch to rebuild mode as my starters approach 30 years old.

Welcome to the new teams and thanks to everyone who've been so active in the forums, I love the analysis the regulars have offered.

Good luck!

This league is more competitive than I thought
Training is always a pain
I might need to unload my vets soon

Has anyone discovered the secret to stopping your players from fouling so often? I have 3 players averaging over 4 fouls a game. The team is averaging 21.5 per game and my last opponent attempted 40 free throws. I will gladly trade my next 3rd round draft pick to anyone who has the answer.


The simple answer is don't buy foulers. You have to look at their track record...you also have to consider where that player has played....if you are a DIV team buying a player that was not a fouler in D2, you are probably pretty safe with him....but if you see a guy that you are interested in playing for a D3 team, and he's not major fouler, but gives cause for concern...it might be worse if you buy him and play him in a D2 league.

Some players have the "fouler" gene, some don't.

Total agreement with the fouling gene - it's like comparing Okafor and KAT in this coming draft. The only other thing I'd add is that playing players outside their natural position has been listed in the past as a reason for excessive fouling, so if you have a SF with great inside defense that you line up as a Center that could result in some mismatches that create more fouls. Hope that helps!
