Extra assistants will help to an extent. In most cases, the two top-rated assistants in a given area and the head coach will contribute to that type of development. Depending on the player being checked, though, the coach's ability to coach a specific position and/or work with young players may affect his contribution. And in most cases, assistants will be good at more than one thing, so it'd be redundant (and expensive) to have, say, a ten-man coaching staff. In the example above, Rissmiller is probably still contributing to offensive development, and he's also good with physical skills as well, so he's probably helping there, too.
