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?

Now he dumps Tsunami before the update, to tax someone (me) Over personal grievance...dumps the rest of the team MOnday, which is fine, he scouted, no issue wtih that right? Scouting is scouting and you need to dump some players to do it.

Now our team flag is a pirate and he has put Tsunami (and only Tsunami) back on the team in some sort of petulant childish gesture. He doesn't see ANY need to make us a banner or emblem. He doesn't see any need to post communications on teh team page (same as Samuraj)...YOks use to give us regular updates. Now when he finally uses the communicate features available for him to talk to the community...

He posts this madness~

Which I am sure someone thinks is funny.

Actually, to me it is a bit comical, but not for the reason that you might think.

When i click on the NT roster and only your guy is on it, that makes me giggle. Cause obviously his beef isnt with "US" as much as it is with "YOU".

And his post on the NT page is kinda funny as well.

Think of it like this. If you were in his shoes and came to a country to take care of a team because of the previous manager cheating, would you want help or criticism from the first day.

The guy is going to be the NT coach next season. its best to make piece with that and train your player.

If your guy doesnt have prodigious ID with prolific od, i guarantee you he wont see any pf mins in front of yasujiro. So that leaves your guy fighting for mins at SF with like 8 other guys.

If your guy is/was helping him win, im sure all things considered your guy would play.

I think you need to relax a little. No need to be so abusive & angry.

And I agree with Wolph, doing a deliberate walkover is playing dirty, I do not approve of that.

Dude, I am completely chill, not a single time have I lost my temper. I'd suggest that people throwing tantrums come across as "abusive & angry".
Honestly? When it happens I find it hard to take them seriously, and can't resist poking fun at them.

There have been more than a few instances of foot-stamping and dummy spitting this season. My apologies for being embarrassed by that.

@Wolph, so... is the sky falling or not?
