I believe you need to rethink the players you’re developing. I saw the NT you coach a few years back when I replaced you for a few weeks and saw all the holes in your team then. I also see how you are asking for players to be developed how the NT will never grow to be one of the top teams as there is no real SF that you will develop.
Maybe it’s me but I believe part of your job is to develop future players for the NT as well. It should not be just about the U21 team willing. Personally I would rather see the U21 team struggle and the right players being developed so the NT can become one of the best team out there.
In my opinion. You need to have your SF be able to score and defend from both sides of the ball. If he had 9 ID/OD and 9 IS/JS with 8 REB is more impressive then a SF who can shoot the ball. Also maybe you missed it but rebounding has become more of a team thing of late, so saying having rebounding is a bonus is a pity. Tell them it should be level four. If they have a 1 or 2 and they are good enough to make the roster then obviously you take them but you need to start opening your eyes to the NT needs in the future and also realize you need some better all around players as well and stop treating it like if they have it fine but we don’t really need it. This is not your team this is the U21 NT. So you should try and develop the best Israeli players for now and the future instead of just trying to win today. Maybe thats just me.
Since you are the one in touch with the coaches you can ask them to train a week here or there to help build the proper players we need. Some coaches will help you and some will not. As I am in touch with the coaches of the NT players who are owned by foreign teams I know that there are coaches who will disregard what is good for us and others are trying to help as much as possible.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
