Yea, that part is what I meant. I mean interaction and communication with the managers on these new player builds have dramatically decreased. I think we can both agree on that part. So I ask what batch of players or builds are you gonna try and pursue?

Well, I have been in contact with several managers already about their players. I continue to get information and have a tracking document. I am also doing further scouting tonight. As far as the pipeline, it is definitely weaker than past seasons. With all of these current NT players turning 31,32,and 33 we will have to really focus on these players in their early 20s. Previously, the majority of scouting and emails were done by the NT manager for players over 22 years old. There were a couple other that helped, I believe, but I feel we are definitely at a time where we need to have more of a joint effort with quite a few scouts, similar to the U21, if we want to keep this NT ball rolling. We do have some decent young players which are good all around, but nothing like previous seasons. Hopefully I can win this election, and then my efforts will be focused on putting together a NT that can compete for World Gold again in 4 seasons.

Sounds all good, but the best way to return the pipeline is by bringing in fresh blood, we need bodies, I will go out full to find them if you give me the keys to our little kingdom. I know all about promotion, I understand patriotism, I will find the outlets we need to grow organically.

We need existing players to get fired up about our NT, I will work to make that happen. I am all about shaking hands and kissing babies. I will go around to the leagues, remind people the NT not just exists but that we need a concerted effort to make us more competitive. I will work to find those who are trying to build well from within, see tetrahydro in my league, guy has four quality guys in their early 20's, primo stuff. Unlike the suspect schwag my training produces.


In regards to my coaching acumen I know what works and what doesn't. I am a very competitive team in my league. working with the BB equivalent of duct tape and chicken wire to hold it together. Imagine what I can do with what will be seen from my eyes as a proverbially buffet of quality players. And imagine if we all work together to come up with the best course of action we can strategically. This is an ensemble effort.

To me, there is isn't a even a remotely close second place runner on this list. It's a no brainer to vote for Isaiah.

1. He's more than demonstrated his love for and commitment to the NT program.
2. He is as involved and known by the USA community as anyone in the country, whether they are running or not.
3. He has a strong track record as a BB coach, and has clearly demonstrated his understanding of the game and tactics in forum discussions.
4. He filled in admirably after the last coach disappeared and went bot.
5. Not a big fan of saying anyone "deserves" anything to be handed to them, because in the end, if you don't get it or win it, then clearly you didn't "deserve" it....That said, if anyone deserves to have a chance to run the NT program, it's Isiah. He's wanted this for a long time, put in the time an effort, and after filling in this past season on interim basis to get us through the season...Let's give him a chance to finish what he started and see how he does.

I don't have any questions for you Isiah; I just want to wish you good luck!

I changed my vote to Isaiah dont want anybody new running screwing up our national team.

on friday the 13th the US is at 1313 members.... spooky.


Dropping from the race, throwing support to the current administration, which is the right path to stay on.

Vote for Isaiah, but not because he is a good coach, I want Isaiah to be distracted from our league.

If he's not a good coach, why would you want him distracted? *Sexy Wink-y face*
