We have been needing a NBBA manager to come back and coach the national team for years. Your following in Brian's footstep we haven't had one like that since the beginning of the National team enshrinement process.

A guy who is also going to be a coach of a youth team in his local community in the fall while putting out the final touches to his first mainstream album on a more private note. The question is will you continue to work the works of Sahand for the national team. Remember Jkaltheway was more liked than Sahand because of nationality issues but his works must continue as I know he put the best product on the floor possible with the limited capped ceiling of the USA player pool.



I’m sorry, but this just made me laugh. Assuming all goes well, Bob has my vote and he knows that, but this was comical. Y’all been bowing down to Sahand despite him doing what others were already doing. Everyone also acts like his training techniques were earth shattering too even though it was the same that everyone knew already. Nothing against Sahand personally, I think it’s more against those that still think he was the best coach this team ever had.

..... I digress.

We need the core back. But I understand what you're saying.

We've pushed unwilling nbba managers to run for NT before with a guy named RamQ. He was a fantastic team manager but the NT manager spot was thrust upon him when he didn't really want it. Long story short he went bot mid season.
What I'm getting at is that NBBA success means nothing for the NT if the manager isn't motivated enough to do all the work that is necessary to enable the future of the NT.
For sure. I mention being in the NBBA since it's indicative of a certain proficiency in game management and planning, but that's just some of the skills needed for coaching a large NT. From what I've seen, the large majority of time is hours put in bbmails, dinking around spreadsheets, and managing the few unruly and surly staff you manage to round up. Skills I've seen IV managers do quite well.

The combination of being around the NT program for a bit, managing a much smaller scale NT program, plus having the tactical experience at higher levels I hope have given me a well rounded enough skill set to meet the challenge.

While I also had some reasonable success with my club, I believe the biggest asset I can bring to this NT job is my experience as NT coach on high level.


You never made it to the World cup! consolation rounds arent high level!


Talking about training, it's really nice to see that you as a community have understood that the main job of a NT coach is not just picking players setting the tactics, but taking care of the "pipeline"


Yeah that is a good thing for you because you tend to chock in important matches!


Like I said in my speech I think I did a pretty good job with that in Germany and I would really love to help you guys fuel the US pipeline over the next couple of seasons.


Fuel it up with diesel so you wont move anywhere

This is why I call it the enshrinement process.
