Here is the crazy thing....I think it was planned for like a month.....he even asked the community what they thought of W/Os? I hate them...in fact England gave Hong Kong a W/O in the conso cup opening round last game that screwed Germany and Japan out of a top 32 placing. We both bitched on the NT coach only thread and the GM's said tough luck...it's allowed..

I can tell you this...I will never give a W/O...I will leave it on the floor with the players hearts...25-0's shouldn't be a tactic.

If you know this is how he plays and you don't want him next time the election is up, definitely don't vote for him. Would be nice if while running the team he actually listened to our opinion. He asked what we felt of a walkover, I thought everyone responded to him they didn't really like the idea but he did it anyway.
.

1) I rather get to the world cup than have my guy get 10 mins in a hopeless game.

2) The guys owning the big money starters like Furuzawa have, buy salary obligations, 3-4 times more input than us guys training reserves.

I stand by what he did if infact we are a world cup team. Hey, we have been here with A) look inside renting players and C) Blank lineups.

If 3 are ok, what is wrong with throwing a game for positioning?

"The game is the game. Either you play or you get played." Omar.

Don't get me wrong...I wasn't crying then and I'm not crying now. I brought it up and you guys shut it down so I left it alone...

Its just the way the game is played...and the bottom line is success. If he runs again after getting Japan to the World cup he has my vote...in fact, ill campain for the guy.

Yasujiro getting world cup mins? Heck yes.

Absolutely. There are people who have already made their mind up on BB King, and refuse to budge. Whatever. I'm in the same camp as Swoosh.
Ball for you on this.

I thought that was actually pretty funny.


And you're wrong wolph. If you take the time to BBmail him, he responds very quickly. Matter o' fact, I'd say that I get a response from him quicker than any other previous coach I've worked with, in any program (I believe my involvement with the Nippon NT is my... 4th or 5th team I've had a player on).

On dumping of players: isn't it true that this won't impact anyone as the merchandise is only affected when players have a game?

You feel he's pushing your buttons: you put your buttons out there in a very large, very easy to access manner. Point? Stop being so easily upset.

.Seriously though....Taiyo and our community of trainers got us where we are.

To me the NT coaching job is a priveledge and responsibility, not a chance to prove yourself. There is nothing to prove, its luck of the draw and players that other people train for you.

As far as im concerned, Taiyo is the worst coach in the history of BB Japan to be cheating while NT coach.

He had a hot start his first season, but he faded, so pretty much the norm.

As for the successes being because of the community, i would say that if our community was so devoted to the NT, someone would have long since ponied up and bought Furuzawa.

Wolph, i dont want to fight with you, but to contrast Taiyo with BB King as the best and worst coaches ever for the NT team is nearly comical. Taiyo was running a 35 year old all star at center. 35.

I know you want your guy to play, but at some point we should be happy if infact the team in successful, no?

He is the guy cleaning up the mess that Taiyo made...and to great him with this forum is rather unfortunate in my opinion.

He got stuck with the roster he had and almost used it to get us to the world cup. I cant find fault with that, honestly.

I really think you overestimate the "benefit" Taiyo brought to NT japan. My guys werent playing, but we were losing last season, so i had rights to be disallusioned with his complaining about my guys needing more is/driving training.

This season we did reasonably well. what else could possibly be the issue?
