Call ups are one of the biggest managerial decisions for the U21 managers. The callup has to be able to play the tactic you would like to play that week, but you also need to consider the GS and minutes history especially early on in the tournament. You don't want to call up a 9 GS guy to play in the first round only to have him be in 7 GS the rest of the tournament.
This is an amazing point. In both my terms during the Worlds seasons, I practically wasted a call-up spot and it was never mentioned as the USA won the Gold medal both Worlds, but it was bad on my part. The two guys I am talking about is Wade Perry for s27 (He played a total of 7 minutes for the U21 NT that season) and Juan Downing for s29 (played in only 3 games, twice for just reserve minutes of 5 and 7). In both cases, we had a few other call up options that we could have used, but I did not do a very good job of making a decision off of past minutes and GS. Call up spots are so valuable and to waste them is a big problem. Luckily it didn't bite the USA in the butt either time.
My question is fairly simple:
As the current U21 NT coach until the Election is over, I like to see which managers take an interest in how things are run as the manager and what should be expected as well as how to help out and run the U21 NT. Phyr has certainly reached out to me and asked questions and has constantly been involved with the U21 NT. In my eyes, Phyr is the most qualified and if you are not voting for him, you better have a strong reason as to why.
My question to the Candidates (Phyr does not have to respond) is why should I, and everyone else not vote for Phyr, when has has been the most committed to the U21 NT process up to this point?Murray/Harris/MPJ/Grant/Jokic - 2020 NBA Champs
