I'm not trying to rile you up...
I'd have no problem with what you're saying if it were "I think that...". But it's not: it's "You have to..." and "You're wrong..."
Dude, he's the NT guy. Not you.

At the end of the day, Swoosh can take whatever's written here - by you, me or anyone else - and implement it... or not.
It's his call. I'm a bit shocked that you're being no less opinionated and anti-current-NT-manager as you were when BB King was running the show.

The main thing i am trying to do with the NT team is transition from the age of one one dimensional players you unger better overall trained players.

The "win at any cost" NT strategy is a bit of the problem so far.

The NT mins are a "reward" for having one of the best 12 trained players with good game shape.

Our team is lacking in areas. This is no surprise.

as for our team being better than the results, we could continue running 32 year olds with holes and then take a beating when their skills start droping by running with our young players...

...or we could start running our younger players now.

To me its an easy choice. Run the younger guys. We have a hiccup this season, so be it. But it will pay off. The idea of running 32/33 year olds while we have 25/26 year olds taking training is not in accordance to my ideals.

The best way to help the NT team is to pick up a high potential kid in the draft and train him, or pick up a high potential guy from the been and finish him off.

As for Kyoto Shogun, i can understand his position. He has solid bigs that played well last NT season. But i then even he realizes that the shelf life of those guys is near the end.


Ill put it this way. Not making the 2nd round wouldnt be the end all be all for every thing. But i can guareentee that the job of the next NT coach (if it is not me) will be easier because of the decisions i made this season. Our core young players from this year are clearly more well rounded. And with the use of a new game engine coming, this can only be a benefit.

So, i suppose this is how i handle the "heat" of being the NT coach. I will say this much. There is no manager in Japan carry as much Japan NT salary as I am. So all I can say for those with issues, put your money where your mouth is.

Having a Japanese NT player is a bargain compared to other countries. We should be mindful of this and look to correct this problem...cause Japan aint gonna touch Taiwan, Hong Kong, or China being cheap.

Allow me to... RETORT
Mr Cymru NT.

Who told you this or did you make it up? I disagree completely.

I am telling you that I am EXTREMELY confident tha tyou are completely wrong on this point.

As a matter of fact...what is the point of positions at all if all the stats across positoin were/are exactly equivalent

most teams you will find out there are actually just running without SFs. Hence the complete lack of understanding about what the SF does.

I get the feeling our NT is being run based on what you would do.
Your theory on RB rains supreme. Your theory on blanks reins supreme. Are you really the best manager in BB history?

I get the feeling this is about it being the only opinion that matters

I am just seeing a team losing and telling you what I think is wrong.

Dude... it's not about what you think. On a consistent basis, the NT manager (and not just *this* one) has told you "ok-but-I-disagree"... let it go.
It's one thing to present opinion, it's another to attempt to ram it down someone's throat.
I think you sometimes miss the distinction.

As I said you are doing a great job that will benefit us long term even if I disagree with some decisions now.

Err... say what?

All *I* have said is that NO-ONE should be telling the NT manager "this is what you have to do"... because at the end of the day his decisions are, and should be, his own.

He gets the final say & nothing we can do about it no matter if we say "please" or "do it now bitch" but some discussion about his decisions is healthy.

To a point. But if you choose to follow the more aggressive line of presentation, then all you do is make your own opinion less likely to be considered... regardless of what you have to say.

You are both getting at it again ?

Dang, Wolph and Malice have their own referee.

Like WWE style.

All i know is, i have made the commitment to train an elite NT player.

That of course means i will be carrying 175k plus in salary next year.

However, we get 7 managers to make the same commitment...maybe be can kick some behind in a season or two.

Going cheap is not going to get us anywhere.
