Yeah, thereโ€™s some truth in that
If the community isnโ€™t as involved as it used to be, then of course a lot more falls on the coach, and over time that can become pretty heavy
But at the same time, I also feel like it works both ways. If managers arenโ€™t really being contacted or involved early on, itโ€™s less likely theyโ€™ll take the initiative themselves
So maybe part of the issue is that things have gradually become a bit too dependent on one person. And if thatโ€™s the case, then itโ€™s understandable if after so many seasons it starts to feel like a lot. Maybe even a bit of burnout creeping in.

Sometimes a short break or a change can actually help reset things and get more people involved again
And just to be clear, Iโ€™m not putting myself forward for the role. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m ready for it and I definitely wouldnโ€™t have the time right now. But maybe thereโ€™s something or someone that could help bring a bit of life back into a community (and a team) that feels like itโ€™s fading a bit

Turkey defeats Aus 81-64
Gave the GDP a swing since I felt we would fall short but missed. We didn't have a great advantage to push against them, they are solid through so positions.

MVPs
3- Curtis 12pts, 4 assists, 2 boards
2- Youren 9pts, 9 boards, and 2 blocks
1- Pollentes 11pts, 4 assists, 4 boards. Took a lot of shots at low %

Hi mate, Azerbaijan U21 coach here.


Let me use an old, classic quote
Ain't gonna be no rematch!







Actually, there will be: (83953)


My prediction: Azerbaijan 58 - Australia 104


See you on Monday!

I never said I have players that are U21/NT ready right now. What I said is that Iโ€™ve got a couple who could potentially get there in 2/3 seasons (u21). Yet Iโ€™ve never once been contacted about their development, not even now, after I mentioned it here, so I assume nobody even bothered to check


That's why you should train players form Azerbaijan.

Let me show you one of our U21 player:

Jump Shot: inept Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: average Handling: proficient
Driving: awful Passing: average
Inside Shot: prolific Inside Def.: prominent
Rebounding: prolific Shot Blocking: strong
Stamina: average Free Throw: awful

F*** me
Thatโ€™s shocking
We actually lost to that?!
Not to these guys: (54443559) or (54443554)?
Far out....

Should I start training Azerbaijan players, will my BB-mails just get ignored like Mr โ€œyou can use is to bbmail the team coach to have the discussion. I'm answering half a dozen each week and those managers are getting the help and feedback they wantโ€ does or would you have the courtesy to answer??

Hi Bill, I sent you an invite just so we get to scrimmage mate. Not a rematch. We have emptied out roster out of u21s and put future players on there, so our enthusiasm is back to 1. Thanks for accepting
