Help:Coaches
Coaches can be assigned to a school for a tenure (i.e., Don Garland was coach at Thomas County Central from 1978 to 1980) or just a single game (i.e., Will Roy Cooley coached Thomas County Central for one game in 1978 although Don Garland was the head coach for that season).
Coaches assigned for a tenure get credit for all the games during that tenure that do not have a coach assigned for that specific game (i.e., Don Garland gets credit for all Thomas County Central games from 1978 to 1980 except the one coached by Will Roy Cooley). A coach assigned to a single game gets credit for that game.
Before coaches can be assigned to either a tenure or a game, they must exist in the database.
