question about turning coaches off

[Smellyface]

I started a fictional league and played the first season with the coaching and scouting systems in place. After the first season, I turned coaches and scouts off. Since then I have played six seasons and just noticed something. If I go to my manager options, then click on "American" next to my manager's nationality, there is a nation profile. There's also a tab up top that says "coaches from the United States." When I click on this, there are managers, pitching/hitting coaches, and scouts listed. They are all assigned to teams at the major and minor league levels. I believe they're assigned to the teams they were with during the first season. However, when I go to a team's page and then click on the personnel tab, it looks like no coaces are assigned.

So here's my question: Are these coaches having an effect on their teams? For instance, are minor league systems with good pitching coaches assigned to them getting an advantage on developing pitching prospects? Is there a way to truly get rid of coaches and scouts?

I've always thought the same thing. Coaches are still "there" even when you turn them off and affecting how players develop.

I agree that the are still there, lurking in the background, reappearing whenever you turn coaching on again. However, their affecting how players develop when coaching is turned off would seem counterproductive to having the option of doing so.

Coaches are not affecting anything when turned off. But the remain in the database in case the user turns them back on again.

Alright! An answer straight from the source. Thanks Markus. It's good to know that this option is working exactly like I would hope.
