To all candidates, it appears that Spain is currently sitting pretty comfortably a top the world when it comes to both NT as well as U21. How do you intend to change this and put the USA back on top, at least as far as U21 basketball goes? Is there any place you think we are lacking, any quick fixes to get us to #1?

If elected, I will ensure that the USA will overtake Spain by scouting the entire USA for the best talent U21 and assembling the best possible team. USA basketball only has room for the best talent, no scrubs will be accepted.

How do you avoid down years talent wise though and what are things you look for when building an u21 roster?

Avoiding down years is challenging. What I can do to prevent that is build the best possible roster the US U21 has to offer. I will look at talent ranging not just from 21 but also from 18-21. I won't prevent a very talented rookie or 2nd-year player from playing on this team.

I look for the best possible attributes for each position: shooting, defense, passing, and rebounding.

I believe since I would be the "new guy," I have a chip on my shoulder. I have a lot to prove to everyone. And if elected, I will not let anyone down and lead this U21 NT to the promise land and beyond.
