America answers to Americans

In order to combat illegal aliens, all foreign nationals will be banned from entering the country to play basketball. Current foreigners may stay on your team but they will be monitored heavily. This will encourage our American teams to train homegrown players rather than purchasing abroad.. This is what we need to strengthen our national team. Also any new unpatriotic Americans from the draft (potential below Superstar) will be burnt at the stake (fired) so training is not wasted on them.

In terms of foreign policy, we will crush our South American opponents this season. To the point where they will beg for mercy and help but we need to establish our dominance in the world. As a result, American players will not be allowed to transfer abroad. This gives away our talent at home that we need on American soil. As far as BigBrothers, they want our team to fail, look at the inflation in the market. Do you think this is natural? No, this has been a controlled attempt to drive up prices. In order to counter it, again we need to ALL train our homegrown players. We will boycott the world market and let them suffer, we are a self-sustaining country

My question is for Isaiah

How can I vote for you if your team isn't called the smallfries anymore?

Simple! Go to the Election Central and click on Isaiah......


But really....I needed to rebrand. Smallfries just seems so....small. If I want to take my team to the next level (ala NBBA) then we need to be bold. I mean, come on, Blue Collar Gold Swaggers just has NBBA team written all over it. Plus, smallfries had success with the old BB economy. Times have changed and so has how the smallfries, err Blue Collar Gold Swaggers, is run.

Done!

In all seriousness...

I believe you're deserving of another term, but some might not agree since USA didn't win Worlds or maybe go as far as expected. How would you defend your decisions this past term, and what do you have for the naysayers that believe in "Gold or Bust" no matter the talent our team has?

Quite simply, everybody thinks the NT has all the best players to work with and act like GS doesn't matter. GS is one of the most important aspect to the NT along with the team enthusiasm. If the top players in your country aren't in great GS the team will fail. Additionally, the USA players aren't the "cream of the crop" in BB. Several countries have bigs equal to,or even better, than our top bigs and guards with inside skills that blow ours away. Everyone is stuck in the real world while this is a game. You can't compare apples to oranges.

As far as my decisions these last two seasons, I did what was best for the team based on all of the factors mentioned above. I played to our strengths based on GS each week. I'm not about to force a tactic when we don't have the personnel to perform. I have no regrets with my decision makings except for the Spain game, which I have been stuck on since it happened. This will just drive me to be better this next term.

Also, for all the naysayers and guys who like to scrutinize, please joint the USA Offsite and join in on the NT game discussions. I will listen to everyone's ideas so if you don't agree with what I do, then let me know so that we can discuss.

What would you say you would have done differently with the NT these past 2 seasons, and what are the biggest changes you would make in your term if elected?

I get frustrated with that Naysayer sentiment. Usually those are either 12 year olds, or guys who just don't understand. There are so many variables that go into actually winning the Gold.

My thoughts regarding Isaiah is this:

1. Is he passionate about the NT team?
2. Does he have time to run the NT team?
3. Did he do a solid job in the past?
4. Does he have an understanding of ratings and tactics?
5. Has his own team had any success in BB?

I think all of the answers are a resounding yes...so unless a guy like Jfarb throws his hat in the ring, why would we even consider anyone else to run the team? Making a change for the sake of change is rarely beneficial. With Isaiah, you know exactly what you have, and he's stated improvements he'd like to make...Unless you know another candidate is a guaranteed future star, I would rather stick with what we have until he doesn't want to be the coach anymore, or until he screws it up ;)
