congrats joe ;) I can't say i'm not surprised -I definitely am. i know your GS was far better than mine (believe me or not but i forgot to train my GS), and maybe i didnt make the best choices, but still, i thought there was a bigger gap than this, especially after our PL confrontation. but as often - like the past few seasons- the 'underdog' managed to win the cup...

now i hope there will be 2 teams in b3 next season

Bad news for all of us....the Cowboys are back !!!!(did they ever leave ?)
Game shape killed Arlon....but they will be pleased with the title.

And so there will be two Belgian teams in BBB.

The future for the Dragons is not that clear.
PO or PD ....first division...second division.....?

Gratz! :)

Hats off to the boss! Great win Joe!

Just wanted to say that Im glad I had this experience (and the money) and I will be back soon! Need to rethink my team and try to return next season.

My team was just a bit too short so I decided pretty fast to just take some money and try again next season. I tried not to influence the competition by taking the decision at the end of round 1.

So my season has come to an end…

I finished 4th in the blue conference with a 12-10 record.
The initial ambition was to avoid direct relegation and end at #6 or #7 so I could battle it out during the PD’s.
So obviously I’m very happy with the results 

In the first round I started very well: I could win my home games en even won an away game.
I could keep my momentum going during the inter-conference games and was even ranked #2 for awhile.
But then my game-shape took a hit and because of that I played very poor during the third round with only 2 wins in 7 games.

The reason for that was a bad injury (3weeks) of one of my starting guards. I had 1 very good guard, two fairly decent guards and 1 trainee.
Because of the injury my good guard started picking up more minutes and lost form.
Meanwhile I have signed a third decent guard so I should be able to avoid such problems in the future.
On the short-term I even trained gameshape for one week… only to notice he didn’t gain form :D

So a bit of bad luck caused a bad stretch of games.
And because of the very special season in the blue conference it remained very close till the end.
I didn’t like that for one bit  … damm that excitement! ;)

So what does the future hold?
My ambition was to avoid relegation and I did that. What could be my next ambition?
Cup? Title?
In order to achieve those goals I have to seriously change the way I manage my team and that will take several seasons in which relegation(s) can’t be avoided.
At the moment I still have to plan that new strategy, but I’m unsure when I want to execute that plan. Question I have to ask myself: now that I’m in BBBL and have proven I can stay in BBBL, should I try to fight to stay in BBBL or should I change strategy, drop to division III and come back in 5 or 6 seasons?

Unsure for now… the choice can depend on how the beginning of the next season goes.

Thank you all for a very exciting season.
Good luck to everyone still in the PO’s and PD’s and for all the others: good luck in the next season,

Rgds,
Polle
