Ok here is my concern. I am not able to win on the road in the league against
teams that have less talent than I do. I coach Tenn St in the OVC and my
current laegue record is 6-5 (5-0 at home and 1-5 on the road). If I wasn't
the most talented team in the league I would understand but here are the league
talent ratings:
Ohio Valley (tier 2)
Overall C PF SF SG PG

Tennessee St 92 51 166 50 27 56 97 48 148 47 99 54

Tennessee Tc 235 45 214 47 173 47 227 42 261 42 258 45
Jacksnvlle St 240 45 230 47 197 45 225 42 216 44 267 45
Here are my league games:
Tennessee St 78, at Morehead St 73
at Tennessee St 70, E Illinois 69
at Tennessee St 77, SE Missri St 61
at Austin Peay 73, Tennessee St 47
at Tennessee St 72, Jacksnvlle St 52
at Samford 75, Tennessee St 73
at Tennessee St 81, Tennessee Tc 61
at E Kentucky 66, Tennessee St 53
at Murray St 67, Tennessee St 65
at Tennessee St 64, E Kentucky 54
at E Illinois 74, Tennessee St 64
So my question is why can't I win more than 1 game on the road? Am I screwing
this team up taht bad with my coaching? Are my expectations that unrealastic?
The thing is that these are bob coached teams for the most part!?!
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Just a few observations. First of all in fact it IS harder to win on the road.
The sim reflects that and the real game of college basketball reflects that
also. Your League is very competitive. You lost to two ranked teams on the
road...St. Louis and Houston. You beat a pretty good Morehead St team on the
road. The Samford game was only decided by 2 points. Eastern Kentucky is a
.500 team. You only lost by 2 pts to a good Murray St team. Eastern Illinois
is another good team.
My point is although I understand your frustration, you are not that far from
being a very good team. You just need to keep tweaking a bit here and there on
your road games. But like I said they are tough...and should be.
