<h3>Which leagues are covered?</h3><p>The dataset covers head coaching changes in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and Premier League. Coordinator hires, assistant coaching changes, and changes in other leagues are not included.</p><h3>Are interim appointments included?</h3><p>Yes, provided the team formally confirms an interim head coach following a dismissal or departure. Interim appointments are flagged as such in the record.</p><h3>Are mutual separations treated the same as firings?</h3><p>Both are included. The record notes the type of departure (firing, resignation, mutual separation) where the team or league officially characterises it.</p><h3>How often is this dataset updated?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month. You can create your own dataset that updates as frequently as every one hour on <a href="https://platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall">platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall</a></p>
