Was just wondering what are the requirements of becoming a U21 manager?

Cos I'm really interested in running for it this season. Just asking to see the general consensus.

I guess you need to demonstrate the following:

1. You are a active member not just for your team but also for the Australian BB community as well such as participation in national forums be it here or the offsite forum.

2. You know what you are doing as a manager. You need to show and demonstrate you understand what each different tactic does and how it will affect the team and when it is best to use different tactics. Also need to demonstrate that you understand what type of player is best suited for each tactic.

3. You need to be successful. I am going to go out there and say their team must at least be doing very well in div III or higher. (How can you manage a national team if you can't even manage your club team properly?)

With out wanting to have a crack at you Koop the fact that you don't know what is required suggest to me you shouldn't be running for the job. Your best bet would be to jump on the offsite forum and get involved there and pick the brains of the guys involved there so you can get a full understanding of what is needed.

Head here and sign up if you haven't already

hehe im on there too and so by association i feel like i was complimented as coachnoodles suggested he pick my brain :)

anyway, i am incredibly busy now but regardless of the i wouldnt run for the position as i don't feel im experienced enough.

In my personal opinion i think our best people running for it are mllama and aussie dude.

I'd also like to see more participation by the better ranked teams in the offsite forum if possible, a lot of people joined recently so i really think we could get a good and active community this season.

thanks guys and hopefully we can do better this season. (not that we didnt do well its just always good to do better)

Reading over some of the things said in this forum, I think I better clear up something that people might have missed on guides or in the forums.

Height is NOT taken into account in the BuzzerBeater Game Engine. Height only matters for training (a small but noticeable increase in speed for SFs)

A Small Forward, in terms of on the court benefit, should not be judged on how tall they are.

This according to the BB creators this just means that a single skill already takes height into account.

For example
A 7'5" player with strong rebounding has the same chance as a 6'1" player with strong rebounding because the 6'1" makes up for his lack of height to equal the taller player in skill level.

--

Yes, it is a bit of a stretch but that is just the way it is. And you can trust me since I have been here since season 1, I know these things. Pretty sure the Game Engine changes have not included the introduction of height (unless the BBs are being particularly sneaky and not telling the GMs)

Just to add to that example:

Player A is 7'5" with a rebound rating of strong
Player B is 6'1" with a rebound rating of strong

Both players will have the same rebounding effectiveness during a game but Player A will show quicker improvement in rebound training because of his height so that's how it all evens out.

What about a player with 6'9" height? Will that train fast in Rebounding? i.e. Will that height make a decent center?

i would say 6'9 is a good height for a PF. It will train fast in rebounding but not as fast as a 7'0 guy.

ah okay. I've got a decent draftee (Perennial Allstar, 18 years old, 6k+ salary) that I want to make into a guy for the Under 21 team, but was just wondering if the height was good, so hopefully it trains well :)
