Dear South African Team Managers

I would really like to become your National Team Coach, Let me tell you a bit about me. I am a 38 years old South African - Swiss double citizen. Lived in Plumstead (Western Cape)for 15 Years. My Team plays in the second highest Swiss Division ( Air Jaws). I my self was Basketball Pro in Switzerland, so I believe I have a good basketball know how. I believe I can bring glory to the Rainbow Nation , and am willing to work very very hard to bring success to the national team. So it would be great if you would vote and support me


yours truelly Sir Jaws

Just waiting for your questions :)

Hi Marco7

I wish you all the best in the voting and may the best man win , I you win i would glady help you to improve the South African NT in anyway. I believe the most important thing is that the South African users know that we both would do our very best

Thanks, it's the same for me, good luck!

I definitely agree with you, and why not about the possibility of making a staff together: me, you and those SA's users who want to have fun with us! :P

Hi there guys, I'm Tom and for the last 2 season was the South Africa's NT coach.
I was not planning to go for another season of coaching the NT but decided to register just in case I (as a player from South Africa) am not satisfied with the level of the candidats i will go for another one.

I see u have a nice background when it comes with your origins as a SA citizen so I'm thinking you would care and not leave our NT to ruin :P
I might be mistaken so correct me if I'm wrong but didnt u marco7 run for the election of SA or U21 SA last season, and you said something like you would help the SA comunity and NT even if you dont get elected...yet sadly it didnt happen?
If I'm mistaken then I'm sorry.

Can you guys tell me what are you going to do to help the NT? Also can you give us some background of yourself, how long you played the game, achivements that you are proud of things like that :)

I will leave you to answer the following and I for one will decide if my vote goes to one of you or I will keep it to myself but as I said before I hope it will be one of you :P

Good luck!
Tom

Hi Dlight

Im cool with you being coach again, and would work to help in anyway. I applied for the job as It looked like you wornt going to. What would i change was your question well , If i get the job my first step would be to get as much info from you on the team , even add you to my helpers. Secondly I would try and get more poeple i n SA to play BB so that there would be more managers playing and traing South African players , so that we could get better players in the future. I believe the U21 team is the key to success so i would work very closly with the coach there.

Hi Dlight!

yes, you're right I run for the previous election for SA NT but I wasn't elected.
I wrote here that if any of you (SA's users) needed help I was happy to help him also in case I wasn't elected, but no one wrote me and I often read your forum but there was only a little number of post :)

As I said I've been playing since season IV, I get two straight promotion from IV to II divison in maybe the strongest community of BB (Italy); I'm also one of the scout for the Italian NT, so I think I have a good degree :)

I also want to say that I love your country where I spent another month of my holiday last summer, running from the South coast, through the Garden Route, to Johannesburg. Yes, I'm not a SA citizen but I'm not going to leave your NT to ruin :P

The first thing I want to do is a scouting of all the new draftee with your help (if you want to), than contact their manager for explaining them the best way to improve their ability.
Now before the new NT season there is also a period in which is possible to play scrimmages that can help me to be acquainted with the actual NT's players; I can also convoke the best draftees that belong to BOT for get them to the transfer list to make possible their training.
Last but not least I will be very happy to form a sort of staff making of those SA's users who want to follow the NT and make suggestions about tactics, players or the other Africans NT.

I will be very proud to become your manager!

I'm sorry for my english that is not so perfect :))

Plans, plans.. Why you're planing so early?

I think We all need plan then we will be elected :)

My english also very poor. Sorry :)

definetly going to be tought to choose betwen you an sir, yet definetly going to choose one of you :P
Still got some time to think about so if any of you can post anything else feel free to show off :))
Good luck!
Tom

To all the Candidates, Its great to see that we have 4 guys really wanting to do a great job. Lets not forget that Dlight has done a fantastic job in the past and i think who ever wins , will be a good NT coach becuase i feel everybody truelly wants to do good. I have a suggestion lets form a task force, the three guys that dont win the vote give there support and knowlege to the new NT and help him in anyway he feels he needs it, I think the U21 coach should also be part of this. Me for one will support the winner 100%. I entered the vote not for personal glory but for the good and glory of the Rainbow Nation and as i see we are very much a rainbow if you look at the candidates. I love playing BB and am i basketball freek, spend hours online looking through all the teams and leagues.

once again good luck to all of you yours truelly SirJaws
