I have a theory that with the cross training effect being in place that training secondaries are going to be rewarded by primaries not being slowed down. We'll see when Cottrell and guys like steven call are 24 if i'm right.

Right, you didn't mention it. But if you're *campaigning* on it, it means that there must be something you plan to do that others aren't doing.


Since I've been following the NT there hasn't been a manager that went out into the community anywhere near what I am willing to do. Jfarb would be the last manager to do so.

To dozens of managers... You are saying that even though you haven't ever mentored anyone (not even when jfarb was desperately asking for mentors), and you aren't currently mentoring anyone, now you will start mentoring 50 managers at once. That seems... unbelievable?


You didn't read what i wrote... this is where the staff comes in. They can do what they have always done, i just think it would help to have the NT coach personally deliver it to create more of a pipeline in the community. Lets be honest though... Mentoring isn't that challenging of a task. I was 7-1 2 seasons ago in div II.1 and had i not decided to switch gears and start training cottrell I would be a top team in that league and most likely would have won it this season instead of mfork (no offense if he reads this) I am very comfortable and confident in my ability to build a team and to help other managers do so.

So, I can agree that cross-training makes the issue complicated. But I want a straight answer, if not because I went through the pain of breaking it down in my previous post: do you now agree that, ignoring CT and elastic effect, training is order-invariant and that height has nothing to do with it?


As of right now.. no.

That's right! Mentoring isn't a challenging task! You know what's even *less* challenging (and to me of zero usefulness)? Starting a mentoring relationship between a mentor and a user with a BB-mail saying "so and so will mentor you, enjoy! Signed, the NT coach"


Lol. I agree that would be useless. Good thing that's not what I'm talking about. Go back through and read my posts and if you still don't get it I can spell it out for you one more time.
