This is a basketball management game, not a coaching game. You ought to be able to let your coach do his job. Besides, there's a clear trade-off: blank and your team plays well, or set a depth chart and you can get training minutes where you need them. There's nothing wrong with blanking.

Walkover is a bit harsh, but I wouldn't mind seeing a player skills penalty in blank lineup LCD's for the "Lack of organisation".

A general manager for a basketball team can mean lots of different things, depending on how you want to run the organization. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_manager_(basketball)) I'm not saying that we shouldn't be able to control a lot of the coaching. I'm just saying that the game ought to preserve the option to let the coach make gametime decisions. And I don't understand the difference you're making between team management and franchise running. I think there's a continuum of responsibilities between head coach and franchise owner that this game simulates. And I think it's good for the game that we can choose to operate more as a coach or more as a owner (or somewhere in between).

All that said, I think it makes no sense to have a "Let Coach Decide" option if there is no Coach staff person. There ought to be a fourth staff slot for coaches. That way, if you want to play LCD, you have to invest in a good coach to get good results.

Even though the coach is usually an idiot, but whenever someone blanks their team, they suddenly become the best tactician in the world.

Any proof, match data about it ?
When I began the game, I tried this option during the first seasons and was really not happy with it.

Maybe on the TL search there could be an option to search for players on NTs?

It would also make it easier for people who are looking for the merch bonus associated with having a NT or U21 player.
