I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for a 2nd term as NT coach.

I think we made some solid strides forward over the past two seasons. From a roster point of view, this has been especially true in getting our backcourt players up to the world-class level we want, as well as continuing to find, scout and help train the best of the new draftees. For those who read the offsite, I've tried to provide detailed game plans in advance of each match with the (often successful) goal of generating good discussion of the matches, and bouncing around tactics and ideas that have hopefully been interesting even to those who just read them. I think we've also had success in upping the interest in the NT, in part with the prediction contest, but also with the match and other discussions offsite.

Ultimately, we fell short of the goal of making the semi-finals, but we were in it until the final day and ended up missing by point differential. To have our only 4 losses this season be to the teams currently ranked #1-4 in the world means both that we did well to finish where we did, but also that we're not that far from breaking into the top group.

I would be honored to have a chance to lead the NT into another World Cup race, to try to improve upon our finish this past season and to continue growing the USA BB community.

I'll register just for the fun of it. I do not expect to beat Wozzvt by any means but we'll never know how bad I'll lose if I don't try.

This is entering my 3rd season in buzzerbeater. I know my resume isn't entirely impressive, but if elected the best players, and Lundy, will get a chance at this national stage. Tactics wise I think is my bright spot. I believe in the versatility of a great SF is what makes the difference between #1, and our current ranking of #6. A great SF can allow us to switch between guard oriented offenses, and big men oriented offenses. Much like how Germany and their god like SF Kienbink ran all the way to Semi's. I don't want you to think I'm just for SF as the continued development of our other stars, present and future, is just as important. Anyway, while making a decision think "If not Wozzvt than oriolekid".
