So my season has come to an end…
I finished 4th in the blue conference with a 12-10 record.
The initial ambition was to avoid direct relegation and end at #6 or #7 so I could battle it out during the PD’s.
So obviously I’m very happy with the results
In the first round I started very well: I could win my home games en even won an away game.
I could keep my momentum going during the inter-conference games and was even ranked #2 for awhile.
But then my game-shape took a hit and because of that I played very poor during the third round with only 2 wins in 7 games.
The reason for that was a bad injury (3weeks) of one of my starting guards. I had 1 very good guard, two fairly decent guards and 1 trainee.
Because of the injury my good guard started picking up more minutes and lost form.
Meanwhile I have signed a third decent guard so I should be able to avoid such problems in the future.
On the short-term I even trained gameshape for one week… only to notice he didn’t gain form :D
So a bit of bad luck caused a bad stretch of games.
And because of the very special season in the blue conference it remained very close till the end.
I didn’t like that for one bit … damm that excitement! ;)
So what does the future hold?
My ambition was to avoid relegation and I did that. What could be my next ambition?
Cup? Title?
In order to achieve those goals I have to seriously change the way I manage my team and that will take several seasons in which relegation(s) can’t be avoided.
At the moment I still have to plan that new strategy, but I’m unsure when I want to execute that plan. Question I have to ask myself: now that I’m in BBBL and have proven I can stay in BBBL, should I try to fight to stay in BBBL or should I change strategy, drop to division III and come back in 5 or 6 seasons?
Unsure for now… the choice can depend on how the beginning of the next season goes.
Thank you all for a very exciting season.
Good luck to everyone still in the PO’s and PD’s and for all the others: good luck in the next season,
Rgds,
