just a slightly different take, all players should be able to make a pass but you don't necessarily want your scorers to pass the ball to other scoreres - you want them to try and score!

I had to laugh at that. I think you might have exposed my weakness.

I'm astounded at your views on passing, by the way, I always thought 16 PA was the upper limit to balance wage dollars against performance.

I think most people would agree with you. I was extremely frustrated when I was NT coach that my best point guards all has 16 PA. I just never felt it was enough. That's 16 PA going against 20 OD in a lot of cases. I just don't like that.

Expense is an issue though. Just look at where I'm spending most on salary.

I think in an ideal world, I'd want my guards to have 16 PA each, one of my forwards to have 12 PA and my centre to have 9-11PA, with the other guy expected to shoot when he gets the ball, but still with 5 or 6 PA to avoid turnovers (at that level they can usually make a simple pass out if they really have no shot).

Tbh I'd be fairly happy with those figures myself.

What would your ideal U21 player look like at each position (at the start of their age 21 season), obviously it's different for each offence but try to list a reliable starting five. Let's say the guards are drafted at 6/6/6/6/6/6 4/4/4/4, the bigs at 4/4/4/4/4/4 6/6/6/6, and the SF starts with straight 5s.

Sorry for my ignorance in not replying. I started working this out using a simulator but had made an error and had to start again, so I've decided that I'll be using your question next monday so I hope you'll forgive me.

England U21 142 Malta U21 72
This is what happens when a team goes against an opponent with low enthusiasm. Malta had crunched before playing us and so we managed 13 steals, 44 assists, and our shooting percentage for both 2s and 3s were better than for free throws.

Fairly easy to pick the player of the game this week even in a good all round team performance. Ethan Sanderson may only have been a backup but he had a huge performance, racking up 33 pts, 9 assists and even a couple of steals.

Next week sees the start of the much harder games. Our opponents will have much higher salaries and it will be difficult even to make the games interesting.

This week's important lesson should be for me, in how to spell names correctly when creating a database of players. One letter can be the difference between a 20yo Englishman and a 32yo Scotsman.

Bit of a quickie pre game.

I said a few weeks ago that I use height when deciding what position a player should be trained in. So what are the right heights. There's some leeway either side of ideal but these are the heights I look for.

Guards should be 6'4 or less. Small forwards 6'4 to 6'8. Power forwards 6'8 to 6'11 and Centers 6'10 and above.

I don't use this as an absolute, but certainly its easier to train a short player as a guard and a really tall player as a center.

Good game. It was fun and more interesting to watch than other ones before.
Good luck against Hungary and Slovakia.

Thanks man. I knew you had a really good team and just hoped to make it close. To be in front for so long was great but I had a feeling your strength would show in the end. Good game.
