If I'm not mistaken Kumiko was mentioning that life was getting in the way
perhaps she's got more important things to do
It's also a time of the season where her team is ok on auto pilot
next 2 weeks will tell

It makes sense that Sparky gets the permanent job but I was only talking interim until we find out what happened with Kumiko. Either way, the most important week for U21 is less than 2 weeks away so somebody hands on is definitely needed.

Another thing is she travels a lot. She's casually mentioned places like Japan, China, Italy, New Zealand (I think) in chat and never has a discussion actually been about travel. Once ultimate frisbee, but never travel. Actually, I could almost swear she said she traveled to NZ or Oz specifically for an ultimate frisbee tournament.

So, phones exist and that, but uh, still possible. Spiritual journey in India is my guess. 99% joking. Hopefully nothing sinister.

guys why are you selling players now? Its not like full salaries are being paid, and isnt it worth waiting for a week to get higher TV contract for entire season?

In order to count towards the tv contract then the salaries will have to be paid at least once (8 days from now) so I'm not sure your argument makes a lot of sense.

don't know, buy wouldnt 14 weeks of higher TV contract make up for 1 week of salaries for those guys? Especially since it would move salary cap (that new thing with training exemption) higher and if teams decide to do what GM and Pugs did it would be much cheaper (again, not sure if thats a good thing)

If we argue that the benefit of me keeping a $200K player for an extra week is that I'll make an extra $200k in TV revenue over the course of the season then wouldn't keeping that player for the extra week only be rewarding the other 15 teams in the league with more money while I just break even? ;)

Big difference between what Pugs and GM did.
Frankly not sure what GM's plan is, though probably none of my business,
at least Pug trained 3 guys
GM banked and then spent not to relegate
only to be right back here for another season
Perhaps the draft choice he'll get if he scouted would be the answer, we shall see

Banked money (2-4m more than anyone in our division could) and stayed in the Big 8 (worth many additional millions). Great decision on his part. That's better than the double crown.

I think the Green Machines's plan was pretty obvious, bank money all season and then do whatever it takes not to demote. He's probably set for the draft too. He just realized that he needed to too really load up for relegation series because the Pugs were so strong but probably would have preferred taking on far less salary.

It may not be a strategy that everyone would employ but it's still a strategy nonetheless. Bad luck on the draw but the Pugs will be back in Naismith soon enough.
