- Proposed Change: Instead of one team getting an extra pick for subbing - via the lottery, every team who subs at least one game gets an extra pick. It would be in the '8th round'.
The order would be: 1) most times subbing 2) current draft order (already based on record)
- Explanation: This would incentive more owners to sub every year. League preferences for subbing would remain (try not to sub for someone in your division, etc)
2019 was an unusual season for the amount of substitute coaches needed because one member took a leave of absence early in the season. As a result, substitute coaches were needed for 15 games. In prior seasons it was significantly less than that: 2019 - 15 2018 - 7 2017 - 9 2016 - 0
I am more motivated by having the chance at a 5th round pick (121st player picked) vs. being guaranteed a 8th (169th player picked), but that is just me.
I think there should be a codicil added that the person has to have played a certain percentage of their own games.... before being rewarded for playing someone else's....
