as for the activity, make it more exciting, be bolder in statements and trashtalk to the other teams. get all the managers involved. find translators to see what they are posting in the italian forums, etc etc


Although I prefer the more subtle route (as referenced a few times in this debate with a team in South America that used to be relevant), I'm not a prude either:

(76412.1)

find translators to see what they are posting in the italian forums


We do that already, especially in Italy, as our U21 coach is a native Italian speaker.

Any three for me

Thank you for the interesting question? over the past couple of seasons, one thing that affected the outcome of our team were injuries, which unfortunatley happened to our best players. I now have a great understanding of this game, and im pretty positive in what im doing for my team, within a week I'm making extremley big moves that will take my team to the top,and also i beleieve we will be a power house. Also I believe my dedication to this game will take Team USA to the top

You only answered one of my questions. To be a good national team manager you need more than just dedication. Also I looked at your roster and you said you have good players, but the biggest salary was around 6k. That doesn't seem that good for going into your 3rd and a half season. By my first full season I had guys that I trained who were almost 10k salary. You also have no evidence that you should be a power house and as someone else asked, what are the big changes you are going to make?
Thank you
TJ

Question for the candidates...

I've noticed that the stamina values for some NT/U-21 players varying quite a bit. Is it more important to train these players up in basketball skills or maintain high levels of stamina?

How important is stamina to winning at the elite/NT level?

I don't have any experience with this, but I would say as long as they are trainable, train them. After they reach their skill cap they should train their stamina. That is my personal approach, but I don't have NT experience.

I didnt check in there much at all this season, and won't post at all if i lose. If i do lose Juice deserves the chance to defend his ideas.


I understand you wouldn't want to step on Juice's toes but that statement seems to me like you just want the title of Coach. While it would be beneficial to allow him to run the team thats what the forums are for disagreements on P.O.V and with out disagreement to stimulate discussion no change or improvement will ever occur.



Again, Juice was making his plans with a longer term view in plan, so i can truly say "simons shoulda played" or "why did you play harrell, his form sucked that day?" It is possible it was against an opponent who we'd beat anyway, and maybe he wanted to throw a bone to the person who trained him sub-optimally for club but optimally for the NT>

Those kinds of things over a season I just have to give juice a pass on. If he screws up epically where there is no defensible reason, then i will post, but I won't be Juice's biggest antagonist if i lose, that is just bitter. I have different ideas on alot of strategy compared to juice, but thats for you to figure out.
