I DONT KNOW( imagine i said that with the same tone of Brick from Anchor man when he was asked where he got that hand grenade)...lol I just figured I'd start today off with some very serious grilling questions so we as attentive voters can accurately choice the guy we have to put up with for two more seasons

We have a lot of great outside shooters. Unfortunately, we play all our games indoors.

6. (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/8495746/boxscore.aspx) I beat a great team and manager, I defiantly would lose to them today!

Doesn't that just show further proof of your lack of experience in developing a winning ballclub. Or as you put it being average...

I know you were jfarb's assistant last year and scouted opponents tactics and players. Are you going to continue to do this if you are elected NT coach or will you give this job to someone else?

No I would certainly hand this off to someone else. I'd be taking applicants for the job. Jason would be a good candidate since he has the enthusiasm but not the experience for the job, and this would certainly help.

OR, if we want a truly seemless transition, you can just stay on in role as assistant coach :-)

To all Candidates:

One of the biggest issues I've seen is trying to keep potential NT players on US soil. The best example I can give is last year right after I started, there were two U21 quality players in my draft, my own top draftee and another player Norman Sloane.
(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/19242529/overview.aspx)

He got trained for only 4 or 5 weeks last year after being bought by a Finnish team and is now doing nothing but sitting there.

My question is, do you have any plans on how to get the USA community more involved in keeping our young prospects on home soil?

I referenced this in an earlier answer here: (191253.114) (last paragraph). Yes it's a big problem that our talent is being shipped off to Siberia and being shackled in a cage with no room for improvement. We need to work with the American managers and talk to them and give them different options with what to do with their players. If they're becoming too expensive for their team, I can give them training advice for getting useful, but not salary-spiking, pops. If they absolutely have to sell them, I would tell them to let me know so I can broadcast it on the offsite so lots of interested American teams can get an opportunity to grab him off the TL and keep training him correctly. We can't let these prospects fly under the radar and out of the NT.

To namssor and Jason- we both know you are qualified, and that you could both handle this job well. My question is besides experience at the NT level or in federations where everyone knows everything about BB, what quality sets you apart from the other? Please no mudslinging. And also, what role would you put the other candidate in should you win?

Individually- Namssor: You have used box and 1 in league games occasionally. Would this be an option ahead of a zone in gameplanning? (which no one answered right. It's the weekends, so that the GS update takes place and you can assess your options. Most would pick Medrano in 9 GS over Bronson in 7 GS. GS is critical at this level)

Jason- What countries do the managers in your "network" hail from, and how involved would they be in gameplanning? Secondly, would gameplanning take place in your little federation forums where only high-profile managers can see, or on the offsite so people can input? Lastly, please stop calling him Joel. We get it. You know his first name. People don't know his name is actually Joel, so it may seem confusing to some.

My passion for the game, competitie drive set me apart. That's fueled me to make it to the League finals in every season I have played. I would run the NT the same way. Passion, intensitity, and being prepared. I have climbed the ranks in BB in my time in this game, as fast, or faster than anyone else. I hope to have similar success as the NT coach.

My Private League has 105 members currently, with roughly 75% American coaches, and the rest from all over the world. No, I would not be discussing tactics or game planning of any kind in the Federation. That is what the offsite forum is for.

Never knew calling a guy by their name was a bad thing. I am sure Joel doesn't mind :-)

Man, just think. If Buckeye could rally EVERY D5 manager, or close to it, he would win in a landslide!
