I'll probably coach him on IS, ID, Rebounding, one v one (forwards) and OD. Any thoughts? e.g. What should i coach this season? how long do i coach a skill until I rotate to the next one? etc

It depends what you want to turn him into. If you have the patence you could make him a very reasonable SF quite easily. Perhaps start with the inside skills as that is what you have indicated. I would try to get IS and ID to prominent this season and not train rebounding except in two game weeks. Then next season you will have to just slam the OD for a long time to get it at least prominent.

I will actually disagree with yoda on this one, as big and brave as I am. (and lets watch the rebuttles fly! hehe)

id give him OD training. It just makes it a bit easier to play him in the guard positions in league games moving forward - once his OD gets good enough, it makes his minutes easier to manage at the guard position for training, which in my opinion, you will be doing more of.

Also, i believe his ID is acceptable for Div IV, as most teams will play a more outside based player at SF. And even if you wanted to train him in other big skills (ie: IS) then his ID is high enough that he wont get creamed playing at C (its div IV remembre peoples!) This again makes managing training minutes a little bit easier.

The other potential issue with training inside skills first, is that he may turn into a PF, and salary wise, might go up more. WHich is fine, its going to go up regardless, but then you are left with a higher-salaried PF that you will need to play at the guard positions in order to train later down the track. This makes it a bit harder to manage salary/minutes of other players as well, and that star guard you may have just bought is suddenly not playing full time minutes....
Itss very dependant upon your current roster, which I have to admit, i havent looked it. It might actually make sense to train him as a forward to begin with if you are light on in that department.

food for thought anyways.

I'm on Regan's side:

- train his OD while you have easy games, it's gonna be painful to train that once you promote!
- keep his wages as low as possible, I doubt you can afford to train a 20k PF out of position in d4.

... of course, if you're intended to turn him into a SF (which I'd strongly recommend to a low division team for some salaries reasons again).

If you want him to become a PF, then you could start training his primaries a little bit.
