CAREER LEGACY
Coach Recap
Have you fulfilled your schools hopes and achieved the goals set
out for you? This screen is your report card for the past season.
Job Offers
If you coach well, and your team consistently exceeds expecta-
tions, then, after a few seasons, you may receive offers to
coach for other schools. However, coach poorly, and other teams
will lose interest, and you may even be fired. If you do receive
offers you will be given the option to view them on the Job
Offers Screen.
Open Legacy: If you are playing in Open Legacy Mode, you are free
to switch to any team you choose once the offseason arrives.
Should you choose to change teams, you will select your team and
coach attributes on the Legacy Setup Screen and the Coach
Attributes Screen (see Legacy page 19 for more information
on these screens). If you do elect to switch schools, you will take
over that team during the offseason and your first job as the new
head coach is recruiting for your new team (see recruiting
section below).

At the end of the college basketball season after the NCAA
Tournament, you’re job as a head coach is just beginning. Your
main tasks during the offseason is to recruit and replace your
graduating players, and you also have to consider any job offers
made to you over the summer.
Players Leaving
The first screen you’ll see after the NCAA Tournament is the Players
Leaving Screen. On this screen you can view the player name,
position, rating, and the reason for leaving. There are three reasons
a player may leave:
1. Graduation:These are senior year players who have used up all
four years of their college eligibility.
2. Not enough playing time: Up-and-coming players who don’t get
enough playing time may choose to transfer from your school to
another university where playing time is more plentiful.
3. Going Pro: Undergraduate players who still have eligibility
remaining but who have chosen to leave school early to
play professionally.
Saving Players for Export to NBA 2K3
After exiting from the Players Leaving Screen, you will be asked if
you want to save your graduating seniors for export to NBA 2K3.
Select No to proceed to the next screen or Yes to go to the Save
Menu. Note that a PlayStation®2 Memory Card (8MB) is required
in order to save graduating seniors for export to NBA 2K3.

the NBA draft and maybe one day become NBA superstars.
