First of all, congrats RIP. I wish you well in your post.

I would love to help out but with a new baby time is hard to find. I could take on contacting teams in a few divisions, though. But I wouldn't be able to shoulder the whole country.

Send me an email if that would be helpful.

From a Naismith perspective, I'm glad to hear Aubert and Laviolette are getting training, because there's no way traning players of that age is optimal for benefitting the clubs. Great for the NT, though.

As much as I approve of the amount of communications from the new NT manager, I'm not sure I like seeing my training intentions displayed in the forum like that, I don't mind sharing it with the NT manager (even if it had been a fellow Naismith rival), but there are some things best left out of public eyes IMO.

I will acknowledge that just a little bit of scouting would have told any of my Naismith rivals what I was training.

Anyways, best of luck to the new coach, can't wait to see your game approach.

if the training was indicated to be outside defense training, you cannot blame him for getting excited ...

LOL, at least it's not outside shooting! And he's not that bad in OD anymore! :P

you could have left it anyways, like I said, any manager with half a brain could have figured out who I was training, and those who know Laviolette know what he needs anyways!

Thanks for all the scouting. It should help both you and Paulo immensely.

I've got all the NT players, potential NT players and I've got a list of the top 51 eighteen year olds.


I hope you mean that you have a top 51, but you're also tracking many more. If history repeats itself, very few of those will get enough training to make the U21. Although, your effort will hopefully reverse that trend.

I'd be surprised if he's tracking many more - the USA is only tracking 60.
