Good pick up Moo, he looks very trainable indeed. He's got respectable JR and ok passing and OD which is pretty darn important with young big trainees, as I've found out they're the 3 things you can't ever train - not that any of the 3 are *that* important, but it'd suck to have a fully trained PF on $50k+ and have him be atrocious at any/all of them.

Good post from Wiggy, I agree with the sentiment that it'd be fantastic if the other nominees stuck around after the voting, win or lose. It'd be nice to have some new people join our little community.

ok I have just had a quick glance at the U21 teams we will be up against. captfalafel has been scouting and for fun send me loads off players with there salaries etc. The average is about 15-20k, with 2 or 3 above that. One is 60k.

Now have a look at the squads our oppents have. just have for fun a look at the finnish, bosnian, swedish and even the andorran squad... They only have 24 active users, but I was already scared off them since basketball is such a big sport in Spain. Oooh and dont forget to have a peek at the germans. are you convinced we can beat them?? Not even to mention the dutch who are currently ranked in the top 10, havent picked their players yet. If we can win 2 or 3 games we did great. So if you guys expect more from me, than I suggest you place your votes on someone else. I have taken 1 young guy on board and will sacrifice my own team performances for him, but he wont be ready for another 3 seasons. We definatelly need 10 more players to be trained, so I do hope there will be more players to take one or two english youngsters on board and train them. I cant expect this from you, because I am fully aware this would hurt peoples team performances. But asking people to do so, doesnt harm anyon. So dont expect me to achieve miracles with the current crop off players and the draw we got.

Since the debate has been stopped for more than a day, I'd like to make a few questions to you:

1st: How will you divide your staff teams ( by functions)?

2nd: You said you would select 12-14 players in the begining. How many of each position will you select( aproximately)?




PS: Are you still going to use the 18 year old players? Because with them, it would be almost impossible to win 3 games

I'd really like to know your answers. Since you will be the NT coach ( at least everyone here said that would vote for you), you shouldn't be afraid of answering this. These are only easy questions for a NT coach. If you can't answer this, then it's because you are not ready for this. So I would like to know what would you answer to the questions I made

HI everybody!

I'd just want to know a thing: what's the last date for candidatures for NT elections?

Thank you for the info.

on the website it says the 12th... for some reason it looks like this hasnt been sorted yet, also the people with lowest amount off votes should be eliminated on this day and it looks to me this hasnt happened either...

Even if you become a candidate now, you wouldn't deserve to win. Someone who'd care about this would have made the apply before.


@Astragoth: Still waiting for the answers

i have a different opinion to our portugese friends, the best candidate should win. So if you feel you are the best candidate, I would say, write a speech, post it and show everyone you are the best coach. If you can show this, I am sure you will win the voting...

I'm, too, have the opinion that the best should win. But the best should be an interested candidate. And an interested candidate should have prepared this candidature long ago. That's why I said that

PS: A good candidate would also answer every question asked to him. I'm sick of the "I'll only answer questions asked by the english comunity". In my opinion, that's xenophobism
