Hi coach! Glad to see a league veteran like you applying for the U21 coaching job.
My question is:
1.)If you win this year's elections, what are your expectations for the U21 team this year only?
2.) How would you rate our chances of winning against the strong nations considering the level of talent that we currently have?
3.) What sort of player build(s) do you prefer?
Thanks for your time and I wish you all the best on election day.
(Let me know if you need a PR manager)
I'm starting from the last quote.
I do not need you as PR manager. I WANT you as PR manager!

Your reports are awesome, so please, be a part of my staff please!
For all your questions:
1 and 2) The first season for a new coach is always the most difficult, because you need to play with a roster you did not build. You need to give your input to the new managers and whatever. So my expectations for this season are not so optimistic since Taiwan has home court advantage, China is one step ahead and Australia has the same staff as always, so consolidated method and solid players. We are in the mix for the semifinals I think, we have some good options but we have also some lacks according to what I know right now.
I'd like to use this season also to work for the future, 20yo and 19yo players needs to grow up according to my guidelines in order to have strong case in the future!

In Italy I won 5 medals (2 golds) in 8 seasons, in one of the largest community across all BB. Taking a small nation is a challenge, surely more difficult because I can't make mistakes, but basically 18 at max are the players and if these 18 players will reach "italian-like" level we can compete against anyone.
Can't say right now if it will be something faster or if I will need more time, but this is my goal. To win.
3) My way to play BB is quite particular. I build up rosters with chemistry, which is not a real skill in BB but one of my strongest beliefs on how the game engine works.
I mean, I don't need 5 big men all with the same skills, I don't need 5 playmakers with the same skills. I do like to pair offensive players together with defensive ones. So just to give some numbers, the strongest team in all the U21 history, my Italy S37
(42314), had a Point Guard Out Def+PA, an all around SG with also high Inside Shooting, an inside oriented small forward, which had low Out Def, low Range, even quite low Jump Shot but High IS and Driving, at PF we had an offensive monster (19 IS) and in C a shot blocker+rebounder with only 14 IS (which is quite low, actually also Philippines have 14 IS).
Putting them together created that letal combination of defense and offense in which every side of the court was covered. And that helped a lot in the last seasons in which our roster was poor. Against you for example, our roster was really not on target, I needed to pick up Dino Huscher because I had no offensive players and even with his lacks (Dino was only 10+8 in Defense), the chemistry with all the defenders he had around him helped us to pick up the win.
That's what I would like to replicate, I will put my Utopia Team also to grow Philippines' players with my level 7 trainer, so I hope that something good can come out!
What do you think?

Would you join me?
