I've been playing OOTP since 8 I think this is something I have never been quite sure about and have not been able to find any other threads on. I am curious as to what the coaches effects on players. I ask because I have gone through a few seasons in 12 and my pitching staff has struggled each year regardless of who's there.

I am curious as to whether a coaching staff only effects player development or whether they effect performance as well (i.e. would a decent pitcher pitch poorly because of a lack of pitching help on the coaching staff?).

I also was curious as to what exactly each of the coaches effect. I have always worked off the rule that the manager and bench coach effected each player's overall development and that only "teach veteran/rookie/players" was relevant to them, and that "teach hitting" and "teach pitching" were the only relevant ratings to hitting and pitching coaches respectively.

Anyways, anyone that could shed some light on my confusion would be greatly appreciated.
