Coaches - When did you take over a team?
Posted by Allan Sellers on Wednesday, Jun. 7th, 2023 at 10:52 PM

I'm working on some website updates to show more on competition info, series records (between two teams; both before and after a match), and other things.

To do some of the above I had to create a table and populate it like in United which has taken me down several rabbit holes it seems.

I haven't tracked the coach_id on every TMVL match.  But that's something I want to have in these stats and collect it going forward (which I just added code to do).

BUT, now I need to go backwards and update earlier seasons with coach_ids for given seasons/matches.

If you started in season 1 and are still playing you don't need to do anything.

If you were an "expansion" team and started in season 5 and are still playing you don't need to do anything.

However, if you took on a team that already existed can you please help me with two things:

1) Post here any recollections you have on when you started (season/time of season)

2) Email me if you have any original startup emails from me and that may help me research and pinpoint a time when you "owned" the results for your current team.  

Thank you!

I started in Season 2

Steve Turner on Thursday, Jun. 8th, 2023 at 6:02 AM
 

Start of Season 6. Can I choose not to own my results until Season 10 or 11 please? 🙏🏼 

Roger Mendonça on Thursday, Jun. 8th, 2023 at 7:16 AM
 

I'm seeing a email regarding an early recruitment question from august 22

Matthew Fowler on Thursday, Jun. 8th, 2023 at 8:17 AM
 

I also see a question I asked in the forum from 18th July 22. Not sure what season that is

Matthew Fowler on Thursday, Jun. 8th, 2023 at 8:19 AM
 

From my electronic mail:

Kevin took over New Orleans in season 2, and Matt White took over San Diego in season 2.

Mike Halpin took over Baton Rouge in session 4 of I believe season 1

Prathan Patel took over the Normal Ninjas in session 5 of I think season 3

And the Wayback Machine archived the site on August 2020, the following managers were online:

STC    Max    15:23    6m
MM    Josh    14:57    32m
ABQ    Micki    14:45    44m
QRM    Allan    14:36    53m
CC    Phil    14:15      --
BB    Aires    6:17      --
SCC    Joel    4:23      --
CFC    Henry    1:42      --
NOS    Harry    0:11      --
AA    Rob    21:04      --

Surprised I haven't been mentioned yet.

Bit disrespectful really

Craig Bucknall on Thursday, Jun. 8th, 2023 at 10:36 AM
 

Thanks guys, I will be working through this.

Steve and Matt: Thank you.  

Roger: Ha! Nice try.  Why don't we just pick your best season and let an old manager be responsible for all others?  😎

John: Thank you for the details!

CB: At what point do we start calling you "Phil #2"?  The sarcastic/snarky random comments for every thread I have are both rarely related to the topic and also funny.  😎  🤔  👀

Allan Sellers on Thursday, Jun. 8th, 2023 at 9:14 PM
 

I'm nobody's number 2 Al, you definitely know this.

The Hat Man and I are like chalk and cheese. I'm doing really well and he's, well, not.

I also don't believe in karma which is a very good thing because if I did I wouldn't win a single game for the rest of the season.

But I don't, so all is good, my 'Best Ever' tag is safe.

Craig Bucknall on Thursday, Jun. 8th, 2023 at 9:27 PM
 

CB:  Thank you.  

Steve: do you remember when you went from the "Fighting Crabs" (I think) to the Crazy Tomatoes?

Allan Sellers on Friday, Jun. 9th, 2023 at 9:26 PM
 

Okay, this is what I have for coaching changes that I will use.  I can tweak this.  Please let me know if you see a discrepancy.  I'm trying to have coaches be "full season" though I know there may have been some takeover early or late in a season.

I will be adding this near the top of the Teams page -> History tab.

Looking back at my email, I joined in Session 7 of Season 5.

Jason Halpin on Saturday, Jun. 10th, 2023 at 1:21 AM
 

Looking back at my Team news it was between season's 4 and 5.

Steve Turner on Saturday, Jun. 10th, 2023 at 7:28 AM
 

Al, in your notes above you put Pierre became coach of New Orleans rather than Mendon.

Steve Turner on Saturday, Jun. 10th, 2023 at 7:31 AM
 

I got my team on Day 1 but don't feel like I have gained total control as of yet.

Phil McIntosh on Saturday, Jun. 10th, 2023 at 3:35 PM
 

Normal Ninjas? Does that mean there's a place in the US named Normal?  That must have an interesting backstory.

Roger Mendonça on Saturday, Jun. 10th, 2023 at 7:45 PM
 

From Wikipedia

The town was laid out with the name North Bloomington on June 7, 1854, by Joseph Parkinson.

The town was renamed Normal in February 1865 and officially incorporated on February 25, 1867. The name was taken from Illinois State Normal University, a normal school (teacher-training institution) located there.

Steve Turner on Sunday, Jun. 11th, 2023 at 7:42 AM
 

Jason: Thanks

Steve: Thanks for the season and spotting my error

Phil: (Al shakes head)

Roger: Yes, as Steve noted Normal and Bloomington are "sister cities" in Illinois right next to each other.  I have often heard of them called "Bloomington-Normal" when referring to the area or as individual towns when appropriate.  You can ask our friend Dave Dohm for more as he went to college at Illinois State in "Normal, Illinois".  

Allan Sellers on Sunday, Jun. 11th, 2023 at 4:32 PM
 

I started last season, so in the beginning of season 8. 

Pierre van Rossum on Sunday, Jun. 11th, 2023 at 7:00 PM
 

Confirming what you have for me, Al. Took over starting at the outset of season 2 and changed the team to the Swamp Rats at that time.

Kevin Martin on Monday, Jun. 12th, 2023 at 3:46 PM
 

Yesterday, i.e. IX/5.

Eduard Habermann on Monday, Jun. 26th, 2023 at 2:50 PM
 

If we are talking longevity purposes I mean.... 3 National Championships in 8 seasons. Enough said.
