First of all, I've help people understand there role or job as a basketball player on the court since I was 14. I have some experience with roles and key players that I've help train successfully. I have a lot of time on my hands, so even if I find a job it wont be a problem for under 21.

Heading on the right path so far. Are you?

For all candidates

What makes you fit to run this the national team? Are you a good communicator ? Have you been part of the set up or helped in past seasons?

Lumping this with DJ's Q.

I'm never much involved in gameplanning aside from a couple bits and pieces every season(u21 garnered my attention more). Where I really helped out was in being a scout for several several seasons(guess that can count for good communicator).

Best Fit: I don't think there is a best fit. I think everyone brings more of the same i.e experience, understanding of BB, open to discussion(a must imo, this is an excruciating task). I guess one thing that could seperate me from the rest, how much attention I'll pay(not saying the others won't, I just personally ponder a decision 25/7, is that a good thing? Well you guys are the voters.) Won't include anything related to the club level as NT is a whole different beast.

I mean right now unbiasly I don't see a best fit right now, as the debate grows you guys'll determine based on the responses. tbh right now you can't go wrong with Ram,Isaiah or me. No disrespect to the other candidates, I just know these guys are very knowledgeable and have been around for a while.

Just an FYI, this election is only for the NT, not the U21 NT. if you want to enter that go to the USA election central and add yourself to the list

Can you expand on this? You only have been a manager for two full seasons.

Well, good luck next election. I will say it will be tough because by then you will only have 3 seasons under your belt. But anything is possible, good luck next season in the election.

Long story short, I've worked with the NT as a scout or game planning for several seasons starting with season 15. I've helped those that were new to BB as well as assist those that have played a long time.

I have run for NT manager and U21 manager several times in the passed only to come in second by narrow margins. Looking back at it though, I think I am better prepared to be the NT manager now than I ever was the previous times running because I am more patient and willing to role with our strengths rather than try some new crazy mix up of tactics and guessing. We have a track record of being a dominating force and I'm not going to change something that is working. With all of that said though, I think I am the most fit to be the NT manager because 1) I know and have communicated with approximately 95% of all of those on the offsite 2) have a very good understanding of tactics and the game engine and 3) if I'm not comfortable with the tactics suggested by the community then I have no problem going with my gut instinct and live with the consequences, which is what is needed from a NT coach.
