Only got around scouting MVP+ because now a days you pretty much have to be MVP+ besides SF position to have a shot at the NT. Will look at Superstar once I can get the NTScout results. That's the only reason why Tyler Hare was even on the radar. At this stage unless there's drastic improvement to his guard skills, I'll say no he won't make the team. ;)

I've high expectations for PG. Not only do they need to be able to defend and pass, they also need to be able to shoot Js and drive the ball inside for layups and dunks. I'm not too keen on PGs who takes 8-10 shots per game and jacks up 30% at club level because that number would be even worse at national level. Oh and 16 outside defence is below standards, as most are 18+ already on the NT. Similar expectations for jump shot, driving and handling. The greener these skills are the better. Inside secondaries is a big bonus. So pretty much have to be 100k+ superstar guard to be on my radar.

At this moment we have a few PG that are fringe selections but honestly I rather play combo guards. They are more versatile as once you have PGs on the team and if the SGs are in bad gameshape then you are pretty much stuck with playing two PGs in the guard position which isn't that great.

I might bring Grigg back. ;)

On a serious note, only if we are desperate then Hahi has a shot.

I've had worse. Plenty of BB mails mostly from division IV-VI overseas managers who ask about 35+ year old ranging from 5k to 40k.

I have had past experience with current Div 1 teams 'Chelsea Seagulls' and 'Whitebeard'. By this I mean I battled Chelsea Seagulls out for a Div 3 title once and witnessed Whitebeard promote to Div 1 as I was currently in the same Div at the time.


From your NT speech. You can add me to that list as well...you beat me in season 9 for promotion from div3 with a buzzerbeater tip with a sec to go in game 3 of the grand final series....But dont worry im in abbl now just like the others :-D

No you just join and then apply to be admitted to the Australian section. Once you have done that you need to wait until Direwolf or Whitebeard admit you. I can admit you to India.

Ahhhh yes, how could I ever forget that famous win!
Although it sucks that all of you have moved on to better things (Div 1) and I'm still an average Div 2 side....
Perhaps you would like to share a secret? ;)
Anyway, I'm going to go edit my speech. Can't leave out the best part

Haha yeah it deserves to be in there as it was probably one of your finest moments. We were both relatively new players back then but I will admit that was my gf series to lose and you out coached me at the time.

Good luck and great to see you put your hand up for this. I think what others have suggested is you possibly assisting the NT coach is the best start for yourself here (should be whitebeard). I can tell you from personal experience helping leeroy with the u21's this last season that there is a lot of things to learn that you don't think of! That will possibly make you ready as a viable option when the incumbent retires from his post.
