LEGACY

Here is your chance to take a school’s destiny into your hands and
lead them to a national championship.  You're in control of every
aspect of your team. Scout out the talented high school players,
recruit them to your school, call the plays on the court, take the big
shots, and win national titles as you create your own Legacy that
will be talked about for generations to come.

The options that are specific to Legacy Mode on the Game Modes
Screen are:

Mode: You have the option of choosing an Open Legacy Mode or
Career Legacy Mode. Open Legacy allows you to select any team
and change teams every year if you wish.  In Career Legacy, you’ll
start off at a small school and must work your way up the national
coaching ranks before you attain the coaching position at an 
elite school.
