I took my advice and studied the two best NT coaches in US history. Now I have become one in the same with them.

They were both a little off.

Always a pleasure to hear what you have to say raynovo88. One of my favorite comments on this entire site is "This hurts my retinas" A classic for sure.

To revive this dead discussion.

You know, just because I win every thread I post in shouldn't be an excuse for it to be garbage time already.

So in the interests of actually hitting double digit posts in this thread, a question for all candidates: let us say that a user has found a remarkable prospect that he assures you will lead to the USA U21 winning Gold, but he has a couple of flaws that need to be fixed. In order of importance, which one of these flaws will you recommend training first?

1. 3 passing on a 7'5 center
2. A terrible haircut combined with a freakishly unstylish head
3. The player being 23
4. The player being Canadian

Yes, I realize this is facetious - nobody 7'5" ever makes it as high as 3 passing.


The player being Canadien. This is America and I expect the players to be American(Make them a fake I.D if you have to). If it's assured he's leading us to Worlds Gold who gaves a poop about his looks,age(remember that fake I.D can fix that) and passing,not me.

no. However, I just answered that question honestly and quickly so you should vote for me.

Also I think yeppers did ask me a serious question about the initial statements in my speech which I did answer but other than that, that is the only one. Maybe you could ask myself or fewmit a question about something.

Huge lack of questions here... How can we debate with no questions?

Well with tomorrow being the last day, I think everybody already knows who they are voting for... or already knew who they were voting for before the elections even began.

Yes. Since I have plenty of time on my hands, I was going to volunteer as a scout for whoever needs me and interact much more with the game-planning on the offsite. Whether that is for the U21 team or the NT it doesn't particularly matter, just as long as I am getting more involved and helping out.

I honestly don't follow the goings on of the NT too closely. U21 takes up most of my Buzzerbeater time.

As you know, the main point of interaction between the two programs is the "next-gen" project of starting a few young players on a NT track each season that may make them unuseful to the U21 team (HoF bigs pretty much). While I support the project it's been an issue (at least to me, the main advocate for U21) to not water down the big man talent pool for U21 in World's year age classes. Otherwise the training needs for U21 players that may qualify for the NT eventually don't clash too much. We've discussed this recently, and I suspect if I'm re-elected we will need to discuss it further.

Group hug!
