If you really scour the available personnel there tend to be a lot of gems, especially guys who were ex ML players. I sort by experience and look at a lot of the ones with 0 experience and try to hire the ones with the best ratings. Not sure how much impact it has compared to advancing the players properly.
That's hard to say really. I will say this. a player will do better with a better coach. how much better i don't think anyone really knows. I do know that I try to have the best coaches I can get and I usually have success. But I can't really know how much of that is from coaches
