Look, we agree on lots of BB related things.

The times we do not, we butt heads.

We can go on and on and on quoting each other back and forth and proving each other wrong. I can do that all day. I'd rather not.

Similar to your "Kumiko doesn't just get a free pass and win the election just because she is running" (which I agree with, I try to earn it) you don't get a free pass for niceness when you aren't deserving of it. And in this thread, you aren't imho.

That being said, us butting heads on a subject once again and the wasting of good delicious cereal have nothing to do with how hard people are training their draftees to feed the U21. I am helpful, knowledgeable, polite, and prompt in communicating to those holding future valuable pieces to the U21 and NT.

If I am coming off a little strong, there was reason to be.

This isn't just some waaaaaaaaaaah! behavior because the manager won't do what I would like. Ex. I'd like OD training instead of 2-position OD training, but the manager has 4 good guards in div3 and would like a stronger overall team defense. Fine with me, if that is what they want for their team.

But if they are doing something dumb like getting a hof potential small forward, nicely being asked to read up on training and ask any questions related to training, and if it's too much to handle, then please sell, they do neither and let the player waste away on their bench getting 20 minutes a week, there's a good chance I won't be nice. Bad sentence structure I know.

If it's bad for:
the player
the club team
Canada

then I won't be pleased and I will say something about it.

Now please can we debate about actual U21 issues.

You know I still like you
still think you're doing a good job
think you'll do the best job
and if I would ever use one of those smiling emoticons...well..okay that would never happen

Ugh, now I have to be nice again

No offense, but I don't think question is going to help voters decide on a candidate. All we got was essentially that they wanted to win games and qualify for worlds...

Better question:

What will you two do in 2 seasons to improve the team, community relations, and create progress?

I would help new teams with training so they wouldn't make silly mistakes.
Use GDP against our opponents to come out on top in the right situations.
Lead our team to victory.

What about you?

What will you two do in 2 seasons to improve the team, community relations, and create progress?
1. Try to deduce how much getting GDP guesses right/wrong affect game outcomes.
2. Communicate more often with managers of high priority more during the season.
3. Be nicer.
4. Involve more people in the scouting/communicating/etc of the U21 team. This year Jeeves is doing all the 18 year of PF and C BBmails. Next season, could be more positions/more people and more positions.

Yeah your question's way better than mine. I just threw out the first thing that came to mind to get this thread back on track.
