Dear US Basketball Selection Committee,

My name is BNBC. I coach the Bunior neymar Basketball Club, and in my very first season, I led the team to a championship title in the fourth division through the playoffs.

I know what you are thinking. I do not have national team experience. My résumé is shorter than my competitors. But that is exactly the point.

Experience can build comfort. Comfort builds routine. Routine kills ambition.

I bring something different. I bring hunger. I am young, I move fast, and I am not afraid to take risks. Those qualities are not weaknesses. They are the engine behind every underdog story this sport has ever told.

For the U21 program, my approach is clear:
- I will scout widely and pick players on potential, not reputation.
- I will build a culture where young athletes compete without fear.
- I will work closely with the staff and embrace every perspective in the room.

The coaches competing against me have more years. I have more to prove. That difference will show on the court.

Give me this opportunity. I will not waste it.

Respectfully,
BNBC
Head Coach, Buzzer Beater Club

Hello my fellow Americans,
I am manager FeelthePressure, as I did 2 seasons ago I running again to be your U21 manager. I covered my major achievements in my speech last cycle, so I am going to keep it short here. I have trained many players since S47 including a few for the USA U21 team. I have 8 seasons managing the U21 teams of South Africa and Cyprus. I have been in the USA discord and working with the other managers for some time as well. The major difference between 2 seasons ago and now is that I have much more time to focus on the U21 team than before with my team in rebuild mode.

Our U21 development is already one of the best in the worlds. We don’t need a revolution, all we need is someone to continue to build and finish what Antwon started. I feel like I can do that. At the end of the day though, we all have the same goal, getting the Gold back to the USA!
