Any questions?

2 days left of election and no questions...

Easy
1) Use GDP guesses on Chile.
2) More more more communication with managers. Never enough.

Are you in Whitby? I go to GP Bikes there all the time for my equipment.

If, I'm elected then, I will pay more attention to the team.
I will check the team multiple times to see if anything is wrong.
I will also try to get people more active by posting consistently on the forums.
I will always have the door open for suggestions.

Any questions?

How's grade five going?

Kidding kidding kidding. Congrats on Naismith last season.
Communicating with hundreds of managers about trainees is different than running your own team however and in this respect I believe I am the better choice to raise the overall depth in our NT farm system.

I am in High School now.
What have you accomplished in the 4 seasons that you have been the U21 manager that proves that you're any better than anybody else.
It's all about results and you and I are just about equal.
I actually did more with less talent.

Unless you have exact TSP, enthusiasm, and GS numbers, this is a probably a very biased opinion.

Now, if you'd like data on the TSP numbers of 19 and 20 year olds the year I took over vs. the TSP numbers now, I would be glad to share. Hint: we're on the upswing.

I have full confidence you'd do a fantastic job in terms of W/L, but as I said, the position in my eyes is longer term and growing our trainees by making our managers training them better. This is the long run helps both our U21 and NT, and it takes time and dedication. And it takes more than a single term.

I sent 127 BBmails this week and that's just the first batch. I have two days off work after today and there will be 114 more to do. Individually checking in on every single 18-21 year old we have.

Did you do that / are you ready to do that?

I'm from Hong Kong but also the manager of a Canadian U21 point guard Guo Zhongkai, so while I don't get to vote and it may be inappropriate for me to comment on another country's election, I would just like to get my 2 cents in.

I want to mention that I've never had as much support from any U21 coach as I did from Cletus. At the start of every season Cletus gave me a very detailed training plan for Zhongkai, and followed up on Zhongkai's progress for 2 seasons (since Zhongkai was 19 years old). Had I not received that kind of quality advice from Cletus, Zhongkai certainly wouldn't be as good today and Canada may have hence lost a U21 player.

Cletus certainly showed commitment and patience in raising the quality of Canadian youngsters' pipeline and I wouldn't mind training another Canadian prospect because of that kind of quality support.

So, a big thanks to Cletus for helping me develop my franchise player.
