I use the coaches board also. I use dry erase marker and hardly the magnets. Magnets are strong if you prefer them just drop in its own bag once game is over.

+1 for the Coaches Board, I don't know what I or our team would do without it. Magnets are strong! I have a small rope to tie it to the fence and enough rope to bring the rope down and secure the bottom in place. I have only lost magnets in my bag not while using. Slide the tile with the 1st up in the next inning over 1/2" and players know what to do without asking. Great!!
I love the Coaches Board, but I will disagree about the magnets being strong. A good bump or a drop will launch the magnets. Most times I can find them, but not always. I keep extra magnets in my bag, and a labeling machine in my car. It's probably time to re-stock my extra magnets, actually.

I have never purchased from this store but try this one. Looks just like the one you have.

Our 3rd season using this and no problems to date. Magnets stay on board and easy to make position changes during games.
Just got mine, quality appears to be really solid. I'm going to buy a label maker tomorrow to get the names/#'s on there. The carabiner is disappointing, very small and weak, and my bigger ones won't fit the hole, but I can work around that.
I just print names on card stock using any printer and then use sticky tape to keep the names in the magnets. This has always worked well for me and allows easy reuse of the magnets.
Which is sad when I think about it since my wife owns several label makers and I never once thought to use them for this.
I make multiple magnets for each player at the beginning of the season and keep them with me. I bought 100 extra magnets when I got the board. Yes, they do get lost. Foul balls against the fence where the board is hung will scatter your magnet team to the four winds. But they stick pretty well and keeping the board in its bag between games reduces the chance of losing them.
End of the day, the convenience is worth it.

I was thinking about the extra magnets, I'll probably wait until I lose mine to buy more because I'm a cheap bastard lol!
