hey bob!

1. My name is Caleb, I'm a 20 year old history and german major at Indiana University. I coach a 7th and 8th grade basketball team as a volunteer.

2. My team is named The Fundamentalists, because as a coach and player of basketball, fundamentals are obviously important.

3. I really love the depth of the Buzzerbeater game. It seems like there is always more to learn, and the community is really dedicated and friendly.

4. I'm really hoping for my PG, Hector Pimentel, to make the U21 national team this year.

Hi Caleb,
Wow! My sons have similar interests. My 22 year old, Daniel, is a Buzzer Beater div IV manager and wants to be a volunteer Basket Ball coach. My 17 year old, Scott, loves his History and German classes.

Congratulations on your 4 and 1 record. The Great 8 race looks very tight.

Bob

Hey Division IV-5 Managers,

1. Would you like to share anything about yourself?

My name is Nate. I am 20 years old and am a huge basketball fan from Towson, Maryland. I have lived in Maryland my whole life and now I have even transferred to hometown school...Towson University. The Tigers even got their first ever AP top 25 vote recently so I am super excited. They are in the other receiving votes of the AP poll. Their new arena is amazing...it is called SECU Arena. They host a very good Temple team this Thursday, it should be a blast.

2. What is your team's name? How did you decide on this name?

*Polands Revenge. I wanted to be creative and I know the country of Poland has been through a lot. Their whole country was practically destroyed in WW2, so this team name represents the motivation of a country to get its redemption. Because part of being a true championship team is getting your redemption and that takes a burning desire that roots from something that makes you want it bad. And for Poland it took the greatest pain and destruction before they got to have progress again.

3/4 What do you like about Buzzer Beater or your Buzzer Beater Team? And other things I want to share:

*It was the site I had been in a hunt for. I found out about it around season 8 I think and I was instantly engaged. It took many seasons (around 5 seasons) to get a full hang of. I have had to rebuild a few times and have been in and out of D3 a few times. I wanted a game that I wanted to be committed to, and feel a belonging to without feeling stupid. This game is a competitive site that is hard to come by these days. It is a genuinely competitive, and a fun site for any patient, competitive sportslover. I miss my recreational sports days, but I love the idea of managing things also. Playing is awesome, but managing is just as humbling and exciting, but in a whole different perspective.

Other positives about BB: You can see the players faces, watch the games live, compete with other divisions in the cup. Its design is original and appealing. It has the kind of features you want as a sports fan and more importantly as a BASKETBALL FAN. It is not perfect by any means, but neither is real life sports. And I have seen a lot of improvements since I first joined, they make sure to make some additions every season. And I have never had the thought to want to stop playing, which shows that this is one of those everlasting places. We are fortunate to have a solid staff and may BB live on!

Hi Nate,
Very interesting information about your team name. I didn't realize there was so much history behind your team name and the motivation that it represents.

Your descriptions about your experiences over the past several years of buzzer beater are very encouraging.

Nice to meet you Nate.

Thanks for the message wishing me good luck. I especially liked your introductory message. I found your message to be inspiring and reassuring, I can see why good teams move up and down between divisions to pick the right time to pay the highly skilled players.
Good luck in finals game 2 and 3 if needed.

Good Luck to you too. Yeah I mean sometimes it is hard to maintain a good team in D3 because every team there is like a really good 1st place D4 team usually so sometimes if I found myself trying to rebuild too much, but then it wasn't enough to stay competitive at that level because I sold too many of my good players and was left with a thin roster. You do not want to buy too many veterans (guys over 30..because then your team doesnt have a high value and youll eventually collapse...which is what happened to me once). You will probably do great in it....it is way more fun than D4 obviously.

I have yet to get to D2, but I hope I can someday.

Well my undefeated team is not undefeated anymore. I'm just happy we were playing a two out of three game series.

It looks like your small forward, Dan Anderson, was really outplaying my small flooring, Jaime Avietze in the first two games.
So in the third game I switched Jaime with my shooting guard Ngan Hu Sik. That seem to work out better for me.
Nate, congratulations on a great season and good luck with the seasons in the future. I have a feeling I'll be seeing you in Division III very soon.

1. My name's Rob, though for sim sports games I generally just stick to Mojak81. I'm from Chicagoland in Illinois. I play a few of these types of games and I really get into the team management aspect.

2. The Portland Grays. I spent a little time in Portland last year and it is a beautiful place. "Grays" refers to gray wolves, which i'm pretty sure aren't in the Portland area anymore but I'm sure they used to be.

3. I used to play another basketball sim game but finally got fed up with how unrealistic it was. The sport could barely be called basketball. I tried buzzer beater once before but didn't really give it a fair shot. I'll be sticking around for this time for sure, though.
