Yeah nice win again Calvin.

One thing though why did you go with 3-2 rather than 2-3? we knew they would focus on the inside with the team they had.

I'm not sure why he did it, but I can tell you - 2-3 Zone is quite broken, does not work the way it shouldand should only be used in exceptional circumstances.

I concur, although ironically, this might have been one of the circumstances when it would be effective (they literally have no guards of any value). It doesn't matter though, still a great win!

I was planning to use 2-3 zone but just before the game the only player who could have successfully played as a Small Forward in such a system got injured.

Then I decided that there is no use forcing an outside-based Small Forward to play close to the basket so I decided to weaken their already fragile guards even more by placing the Small Forward outside - forcing more turnovers, poor passes and so on from their guards.

I also had faith in our big guys Mayes and Kennedy and believed that they could handle South Korea's front line in such a system and I'm satisfied with their performance - the most important thing is that they didn't foul out too soon.

we always use normal in our U21 because of the fact that our coach is not always active.. we are right now regretting that we pick our GM to be our U21 coach.. Good coaching you got there in your U21 team and i gained some interest in coaching your U21 team but only 50%. I can teach you a better system of guiding and training the youths. If you would let me run in your U21 election next season i would take you as assistant and build a coaching staff. ;)

TBH I think Calvin and his team are doing a spot-on job at the moment. They're keeping great track of the eligible players and keeping communication lines open with the coaches. I guess we'll see if he wants to continue next season, but I would expect him to have the full support of the community if he does.

Why would he go from U21 coach to assistant coach? ;)

For him to learn i think? ;)

I would respect if Calvin would like to continue coaching.. I am just opening my door if he would like to be an assistant coach if he would not run for the elections.

I am just saying this to give this community some ideas not to make them noobs but to make this community better and stronger.


Just lending my hand for a better future. ;)
