I think I have a Guard that has potential to be on the U21 team and possibly the NT in a few season. I am looking for some help training him and all that good stuff. So if you would like to give nme week by week advice with this just bbmail me

You can't be serious.

There is no other way for people to get to know me, have confidence in me, than showing my successes as a BB team owner.

I'm not sure this requires a response.

In part 2 of your post, you even ask my opinion, of my old league mate USA Elite...So even you recognize that my worthiness, or lack of is largely about my team and whats its done.

That is not what I was implying and only further strengthens my points. This is not about your club team. USA-Elite deploys a unique strategy that has shown tremendous success (something you were nice enough to point out to me when I asked). I was asking you to comment on it and discuss if it is practical on a larger scale.

Long story short, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you as a manager. However, your arguments haven't been able to bridge the gap between talking about your experience and talking about applying your experience to the NT. I think you know how to build a great team but I'm not sure you know what specific gaps we have in our team and what specific challenges we are going to face in a typical week. At least I don't think you've shown it.

And now we Have a SF!

Thank you for your vote.

He could take part in the NT efforts prior to running for NT coach?

To all Candidates...

Give me an strong analysis of our NT... including our players... their strengths...their weaknesses? tactics they'd be good for? Are there any roster changes you think should take place once you are elected? as well as what problems you expect to face with our NT(socially-wise, scouting-wise, players-wise) and how you plan to solve them?

What of team is our NT tactic wise? Do we have the skills to be anything else? How would you like or how should our team to be tactically? How do you intend to get our team there?

How do you intend to increase manager awareness or knowledgeability to help facilitate making the NT better? How will you get even more people to the off-site and specifically more involved in the NT?

What kind of prospects do you see coming to the NT in your term? What are some issues being faced with the current NT talent? How will you solve those issues? How do you intend to work with prospect owners in order to better the NT prospects? How do you envision yourself working with the U21 NT?

Well, it's not a "clique", so to speak, but i find it really hard to vote for someone that i don't know his tactics or personality like i do with people that are on the offsite, so I'm much more likely to vote for an offsite member, and i think others feel this way too. And i don't really have anything else against Jason, so that's the biggest issue.

On the contrary, I could care less if he was on the off-site prior to this election. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt BECAUSE he could bring a fresh perspective.

Another option would be to have researched our team prior to this election and understood our strengths and weaknesses and come with specific ideas on what he could bring to the table. Basically there has been too much talk about what someone did in the past and not enough talk about what they plan on doing. That's my opinion at least.

Okay that makes sense...I have answered the questions as they come, however, I have researched the team, and have ideas. My plan all along was to use the pesonal thread I get after the field of candidates is reduced to 5 tonight to outline my thoughts on that.

That will be my conclusion in this Election to give my take on the team, what it has, what it needs, and what we can do to make it better.
