Coach ratings
 

are the coach ratings designed to be a continuum? for example:
Favor Defense--- teal bar ---Favor Offense could mean that the coach favors Defense highly, as indicated by the teal color tending towards the "high end" of the bar, or it could mean that he favors offense as the bar tends towards that side of the continuum. I dont know how to add screenshots here, otherwise i would.

I see what you're saying (I think!).

The coach favours the item that the bar is closest to. So a bright blue bar would heavily favour the thing on the right (offense, in this case), whereas a red bar would heavily favour the thing on the left (defence, obvs).
