In all honesty, when I joined the game, it asked me 3 different names to enter, and 1 of which I entered hggriffin, 1 was Griffin, and 1 was Herman Griffins. The reason behind all of them is the high school I attended at the time, the Herman Green Griffins (hence the hg for herman green). It is pretty stupid now though, as my team name, my manager name, and my login are all basically the same thing lol. At some point, I'll probably be changing the names.

For the guards, I'd have to see everyone's skills, but for sure I'd start out with Picard starting. I would probably bring up Sylvain Milot because he will eventually become a part of the team midseason anyways, but I'd have to check over everyone's skills first. At SG, obviously Issa has his spot, and I'd have to see the progression everyone else has made to see who else should make it. At SF, I'd obviously have Abbott, and to be honest, I'd probably lean toward Essa more than Wendon because they are basically identical, and Essa is still improving.

My plan for guards is to take 2 PG's and 2 SG's( as i mentioned before) p.s you frogot to mention my midterm exams :D

As HPP will confirm I am not one to talk, but let me guess what the mid term is in...Political Science?

Any more info on the guards you care to share??

Although Essa has a very needy manager I tend to agree with you.


LOL :P

for SG's im going to look for Outside/inside shooters and as for PG im looking for Someone who can handle the ball and not cause many turnovers. it would be nice if PG could be good scorer as well

i mean at least post good ASCII art

Two questions for Future NBA...

1) I think that as long as you know what lineups to set how to scout your opponent and how to manage enthusiasm and how to pick players then i think that you should be able to attempt to become NT

Why (be specific please) should managers believe that you know how to scout an opponent, pick players and manage enthusiasm? You not only failed to promote out of Division IV last season but squeaked into the playoffs with a losing record (10-12) and then got demolished in the first round. Some managers are very quick learners, your record suggests that you're not one of these managers please explain why you think that you record is not indicative of your skills as a manager.




Second question: Much of the more specific discussions about player development and u21 and NT tactics happen on the off-site forum so that sensitive information is only available to Canadian managers. Details about opponents and ideas about to approach national team tactical decisions are also posted there. Why have you never bothered to join and read or participate in these crucial national team discussions?

Question for everyone:

What are your specific and realistic goals for the national team during your two season tenure as NT coach?

Considering we will have HCA, my goal would be to advance directly to worlds by reaching the finals of the Americas. To be honest though, I really don't know how realistic this is. There are some teams in the Americas that are much better than us, including World Champions, Chile. However, as my backup goal, I would shoot to advance to the repechage and advance to worlds that way. I think it was a good idea to go to consolations this year, but you can't just do that every season. At some point, you have to risk it and go for it all. The team should be better now than 2 seasons ago as well, so we shouldn't have as much trouble in the Americas tourney as we did 2 seasons ago.

1) I was trying to tank last season as i had found a gem in my draft list. but i did not get him and since i had gotten rid of alll my star players (exept tommy Saint-amand) that othe team a the advantage plus the GS hasnt been all that good either because i didnt really try to manage GS that playoff was more forced on me than not forced on me.
as for believing if i can scout an oponent, pick players and manage enthusiasm it is somethign i cannot really prove.

2)I cannot register for the offsite forum because of some previous affairs

I am not running as a NT manager, but I love a good debate so will also answer some questions while asking other candidates, of course if its not a problem for you guys.

The most intriguing question that I heard so far is about cheerleaders:D, I would test them myself, thats a first. I would also take Futire's approach and pick 10 girls, 2 best at each position:D.

Ok, being serious.

What would you say is your biggest advantage over each candidate?
