Even if you failed your main goals, you couldn't do better. The roster is aging, the game shape was a problem all season long (except for Ebene's players) and as you already said we lack high level guards.

Anyway the results don't tell everything you've done this season: you first identified the problems of the NT roster and now you are trying to fix them. I'm really glad to be part of your staff.

without a major boost of young players growth -as soon as drafted- roster will be a problem to all African teams, so fixing it could be a great asset. A LOT of work to do here.

S23 Balance scorecard

As promised, after having taken some time to think, my scorecard for the season (rank 1=horrible, 3=sufficient, 5=very good). Keen on taking your comments and respond to your questions, if any.

RESULTS = 3
My staff knows that the minimum acceptable result was moving to round 2, actual goal was 5th place, stretched goal was any medal. We achieved the minimum goal, that's the reason for the ranking.

Unfortunately, the first round took the wrong way due to the loss against Tounes mots. Yes, a MOTS vs our normal. I couldn't play more than normal having to afford Al Maghrib and Senegal (2W), where Tounes decided to put its second round at risk by spending a lot of TS against us. It is a big pity, as team was in a good GS and better TS, and it was likely to win with same attitude. That L impacted also on second round, although choices couldn't have been different (probably).s I made my all-in against Senegal spending my TS with a MOTS, but bad GS and injury of Galvin affected result with a 78-92 L. Against Tounes I probably made a mistake not using a 3-2 instead of M2M, but I admit that after L against Senegal season was good only for a minimal adjustment in ranking.

A season with some bad luck, only 3W, I cannot be satisfied having thought possible to catch the medal.

TRAINING = 3
Not much satisfied. I will have to adjust this next season. Roster didn't change much, although I can see some impact of what I did in growth of new players. However, scouting system work only partially well. It is a matter of fact that scouting system can work only if well set since youth, so a priority for next season is to improve scouting since draft onwards. I have a big sense of urgency because of deskilling of our aged players, the majority of the roster. THe good news is that young players (a good draftee) could join the team in 3 seasons (my La Vella, 6th in Italian U20 ranking, could be part of this team!). So, draft well, train fast.

A big, special thank to Ebene for his commitment and responsiveness.

RANKING = 4
We gained 81st spot, up 7 compared to beginning of the season. A little, little satisfaction.

GAMEPLAN = 4
Not 5 because of second L against Tounes. We had a LOT of patience to build TS to be spent at the right moment.

Of course a big thank to my staff. Especially to the silent Mummo, my tactic, and to Cek6, my best scout.
