I always assign max points.
I realize I lose the points that way, but anecdotally without ever racking it I think there is a higher hit % that way.

I suspect the back end code looks like this.

[Coach skill adds 5% chance to insta commit]
Hidden player school rating = 3,000
Players chance to commit to school is equal to X * [committ %]

So in theory if at 2,000 points you had an 80% chance at 2,700 you would have an 83% chance then you add your 5% bonus on either.

Again strictly anecdotal but thats my thoughts.

I also move them up to #1 on my board, then offer. I did track that in SP once for 10 seasons. Players ranked #1 on my board committed at a significantly higher rate. Although the sample size was naturally too small to be significant.
