BuzzerBeater Forums

I've being thinking about bringing back the Opinions editorial as it helped with the early success of this newspaper, so I'll be bringing it back once every two weeks and I hope that will be enough.

that is why he has decided to let any coach who wishes to send him their tactical choices for the next two games so send him a BB-Mail if you wish to help.

If anyone wants to help out with tactical choices then sign-up here:

thats what its there for.

Is the offsite forum even alive these days? I guess we have to start somewhere. I'm also not sure if most young coaches know about the offsite forum to even have an account, I know I didn't know that an offsite existed for about a month.

Well if somebody BBmails me about U21 tactic comments I will direct them to the offsite forum and im sure zmtomako would do the same.

You dont even have an account(we switched sites recently): http://w11.zetaboards.com/BB_ECU/index/

This seems to be a big problem. It seems that the back to back changes in forum address have destroy the Canadian involvement. Hopefully it straightens out soon and the interest increases.

How do you sign up?

I agree. This change should be permanent however. Just gotta give it a month or so and everything should sort itself out.

Click on the link I provided you and hit register or sign up(top left corner I believe). Then BBmail me and I will activate account. THen you must make an introduction and youll be granted access to Canadas forum.

A bit of an outdated news but important nonetheless. A lot of you know that the offsite is integral to the growth of the National Team so Canada has decided to switch offsites. The new one is called English Communities United and it includes three other commonwealth countries: Nigeria, New Zealand and England. Excerpts of this article is taken from SREZ and Mod-Bballin
It is my pleasure to inform you that we just recently joined together to form a new offsite forum with England, Nigeria, and New Zealand! For a long time on all of our forums, discussions were mostly made between 3-4 people. This worked out fine when discussing tactics and players, but discussions about other topics (research, training theories, etc.) became a bit dry. So by combining these four countries together, we saw it as a great way to increase participation and to learn from those outside or our respective countries.
"But they may steal our tactics and player info," you may tell me. Well no need to worry, because the new offsite forum gives each community the option to hide their tactics and player skills so only the U21/NT staff can access them. This way, spies can not steal our important information and give it away to a third party, but the people who need to be able to see this information can still access it. It is a great system.
If you are not part the U21/NT staff, there is still many ways to participate and learn from this external forum. Everyone from every community is able to view topics such as transfer ads, training guides, research, general discussions, and much more. It will be a great way to share your ideas and learn from those people with different levels of experience and knowledge.
If you are interested in joining our new forum, register here and make sure you bb-mail me so I know who you are and can approve your account: (http://w11.zetaboards.com/BB_ECU/index/).
There is a 'Register' on the top left hand corner of the page. Send Mod-Bballin a BB-Mail because he is the administrator, he will approve you, introduce yourself and BAM, you have access to the Canadian forum.
There are a lot of interesting things to do on this forum so get signed up and contribute your part.
P.S: Zmtomako has the depth chart and the skills of all the NT players on the offsite so if you want to see that, you'd better register. You can also find the link on the National Team Page.

The Personification of Domination, The Excellence of Execution, The Beasts on the Block. All these could be used to describe Canada's one-sided victory over Vietnamin the consolation tournament yesterday in a game that was played in Canada. The final score was 105-43. That's right people, Canada won by 62 points.
Canada have jumped from 28th to 22nd with a 5-2 record in the consolation tournament. Canada also made another jump: from 30th to 29th in the World National Team Rankings. The biggest factor for Canada winning that game was their ability to stop Vietnam defensively, especially on the inside. Everyone was modest in scoring that Canada's highest point scorer in the game, Pierre Jutras had 19 points.
Canada's next game will be against Romania on the 16th of this month. If you want to help Zmtomako with tactics, get onto the offsite(link is posted on the Team Page) and do your part. Read my earlier post if you are looking to register.
Notable Statistics: Pierre Jutras: 19 points, 15 rebounds; Momar Maja 16 points, 16 rebounds; Christopher Moran 10 points, 13 rebounds.

Election fever is gripping the nation as the country is going to be in search of a new coach. 'Who would be the best coach for the National Team?' Who knows? That is why we approached Coach Overcash of the Eastern County Wolverines and asked him what he looks for in a good National Team Coach. This is what he had to say
'What do I look for in a National Team Coach? Well, first off, he/she would have to know how to manage their own team. How can you be a coach of the best players of a country and not even know how to manage your own team? They also need to be SUPER dedicated to the game.'
'They would need to reach out to people in that country and ask for help sometimes and also let them know what is going on. They also need to help people that have their players and teach them how to manage Game Shape, train them etc.'
'I think that a National Team Manager all in all needs to be DEDICATED, SMART with his own team and SOCIABLE with all the people in that country.'
There you have it guys. Remember, vote smart.
