I'd like someone to explain why managing the NT and winning D1 titles is not easier than just manage a top division team. I've already argued that people should be removed (not added) points in the discussion for best manager if they were managing the NT when they won D1 or B3 titles, as managing the NT does give a substantial advantages compared to the rest of the field.
Wait, what? I don't see the correlation. What are you suggesting, that NT managers just put their own guys on the team? And they purposely screw other D1 members out of merchandise money? Cause I can see how that would give a small benefit, but I also don't see how that manager lasts for more than 2 seasons. And I can't see how that argument affects any NT manager that won world's gold. Rwystyrk should be penalized for winning a D1 title because he also won a worlds gold as a NT manager?
