The biggest trouble with that is that a big chunk of the work, scouting, can only be done by the coach. I've done that several times, scouting all canadian players available (and I mean all!). I takes a good week, but I still have spreadsheets from way back.
After the scouting bit, yes a trio of managers will definitely work, discussing game strategies, coming up with training plans and following up with managers... It helps having more than one set of eyes and different game experiences or ways of thinking. But that's not the most time-consuming part of the job. I don't think Canada ever had a "formal" coach team for either NT with clearly assigned roles, but I've been pretty involved in strategies and training discussions with the past 2 U21 coaches, so this teaming up naturally happens even though it's not visible or official

Yeah, the choice will be tricky, but with current manager dropping the ball, I am excited to see what someone else can do!

Among the candidates, who would be willing to be part of the team, even if elections don't go your way?

I know its difficult to keep 3 players with 200K salary but 2 is fairly easy with D1 income and its beneficial to the manager but its just take times. But my point is we actually dont need new managers to come in. Just few committed managers who are willing to train the NT players with right training method can change the dynamic.

well I'm already doing that, so keep counting me in

Edit: that's 2 seasons in a row with a real election debate, that's great!

I would argue you want both new managers and more committed managers. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

It terms of a scouting workaround, you can screenshot and dump the images, then the entire staff can upload them to a database.

Like I said, I am willing to put in work, win or lose.

If I can't escape to Canada, the least I can do is help their imaginary basketball team.
