that's kinda neat, from my perspective, but gotta remember people achieve what is measured. i wonder what would turn up if there was a measure of "national team players trained" -- i certainly would not be on that list!
i am lucky 'cause many managers don't have the patience with managing decline -- i hope Coach Shnuffy and Bob hold to their word and tank next season! -- and notice i rank low on the trophy list, and none of my teams would be on the all-time greatest list (unlike some KDB or Upsyndrome squads).
indeed, my only goal now is chasing the Bulls, sorta the opposite of Pamplona. i can't see another five seasons in the NBBA to catch KDB.
FWIW, i think the playoffs in the Big 8 should be very competitive. Both the Dogs and Irvine are scary, even if they will be on the road, and they will have a week to prepare after the Cup. HCA is a great thing to have, and Bananahorn's road to the finals looks to be a bit easier, giving him an advantage in ENTH, so it appears Coach Shnuffy is perched in the captain's seat.
