I can be the training mentor and make sure the right players are getting the right training etc.

if somebody has to train great PG's, that's my specialty.

Hey BlackMouse, what brings you to India? Doing a little scouting for Italy?

Hey BlackMouse, what brings you to India? Doing a little scouting for Italy?

I am engaged in several countries across the world: Italy of course, with some tens of guards assigned to me and support given to NT, the South Africa were I used to be the coach and I am cooperating with current coach, Ghana, Malaysia, where I was candidate to U21 in last two elections, and some sparse cooperation with coaches across the world. You can find me across those forums. Some surprise could happen soon as well. No big secrets, you know

Training is to me the most interesting part of the game. In last couple of seasons I got bored in not doing good training for my team (II.3 Italy is very tough indeed, so first result, than training) and I am starting a new four seasons long program to rejuvenate my team and aim to Serie A.

That is where I know you from! When I was looking for a country to coach I read several English speaking nations forums, Pakistan, UAE, Barbados, South Africa and a few others. You were a legend in South Africa, why did you leave?

Check out the Panama vs. South Africa U21 scrimmage (14985), my guy Martinez was on the court for 4 minutes and had a +/- of +13! If he played the entire game Panama would have won by 156 points :P

You were a legend in South Africa, why did you leave?

yes, I remember you probably!

I decided to leave as I pushed SA very high (best ever) and prepared to further African Cup victory. The problem there was that community is incredibly small (13 mgrs now, highest ever), new draft rules allow bots to pick good players, and the basis of players is terribly minimal, no way to develop a good team. Current situation is horrible, may be as Samuraj haven't pushed on training as my staff and me did, surely because in the last draft of my mandate the number of 200cm+, star or above, IS+ID+RB at least 12 was ... ONE!

In other words, with my staff we decided to try where there were more opportunities. I tried twice in Malaysia (and I am actively part of that community now) against historical coach, 8-8 and less seniority first time, 17-12 now, pushing ahead the community (and cooperating with them). I cooperated with Italy NT coach to redesign Italy organization (great success, we boosted our players), and eventually cooperated with other countries, including current SA coach (never forget SA!). May be something will happen next few days and will make my season rather busy, let's see...

Now I am sort of ronin of coaches, enjoying giving some contributions to active communities to increase their effectiveness. You can remember what I did in SA, that is why I firmly believe 50-100 mgrs countries can do quite a lot.

edit: BTW I should add one day or the other India flag to my flag list (50+)

wow so you're one of the super experienced managers with regards to NT business. Really great to know that you are hanging around with us :) Hopefully you will stick to us and share some knowledge to further enhance our team!

P.S. I will send you a scrimmage request once I'm out of the national tournament.

you born newbie and you stay newbie: my signature is what happened in my last club season

I discovered India some time ago and was silent, but a recent business travel to Asia stimulated me a lot. I expect to stay here for a while at least

P.S. I will send you a scrimmage request once I'm out of the national tournament.

Great. I do hope for both that will be very late this season ;)

We're building a lot of enthusiasm in India with plenty of activity in our forums. Hopefully, this will translate into better player retention and eventually better teams.

Well it is really good to have someone as experienced like you around the NT....as tungi said we look forward to learn some things from you....
lets hope that your presence here will boost us up and ur experience will help youdabig and us to make india U21 a better squad
