THE COACH IMPACT RATING™
CIR is CoachConnect AI's transparent, deterministic 0-100 score for every lacrosse coach on the platform. No black-box magic — eight components, fixed weights, fully explainable. Programs use CIR to filter candidates instantly; coaches use it to see exactly what's missing from their pedigree.
NINE COMPONENTS · 100 POINTS TOTAL
Your playing résumé from HS through pro. Heavily boosted if you developed in a recognized lacrosse hotbed, played for an elite HS club program, or learned the game under a HOF HS or club coach. College All-American, college HOF, top-25 national position rank and pro experience also count.
Years coached, weighted by the division you coached at (D1 = 1.0, NAIA = 0.80, D2 = 0.75, D3 = 0.65 ...) and your role (Head Coach > Coordinator > Assistant > GA / Volunteer).
Your career W-L record, but division-weighted. A 12-2 D1 season counts much more than a 14-0 club season.
National championships > Final / Division finals > Conference titles > State / tournament titles. The tier you actually won matters.
Coach of the Year awards, accolades, national-ranking of your teams (Top-5 / Top-25 finishes), HOF memberships (USILA, NILCA, IMLCA, IWLCA, etc.).
Who you learned the game from. HOF mentors carry 3× weight; national-champion mentors stack another 2× on top. Direct assistant-under-the-HC stints get an additional 1.5× multiplier. Coaching for an 'Elite' program adds further. Up to 10 mentors counted.
Championships and wins you earned while serving as an assistant or coordinator. Tier-weighted (national > division > conference).
Bachelor's degree + GPA, and Master's degree. Caps at 5.
Coaches you've played for or worked with vouch for you. HOF endorsers carry 4 pts each; national-champion endorsers 2 pts; standard peers 0.5 pts. Capped at 6 to keep the score grounded in evidence, not popularity.
