In regards to SB and an effective zone defense, I would say that SB is helpful but not necessary on guards. If you have a 6 or 7 SB guard that can contest shots well, that only helps, but it is not worth training it. As for SF's it really depends. Depends on whether the other team has an inside or outside SF. Personally I would like the SB to be 8 or 9 on my SF's, in order to be safe against a possible inside attack. As for bigs... this is where it gets tricky. For my starting bigs, I would want at least 10's among both, and preferably up to 12 on at least one of them.

In regards to passing, im a real fan of the true point guard build. I like my PG to have at least 14 PA, and depending on the offense, my SG so have at minimum 12, and preferably 14 also. On the SF, it depends on his build. an offensive SF, PA should be about 11-12. A defensive SF should be about 12-13. And as far as bigs go, I think 6+ is generally a good bar. This was an issue we struggled with last season, where our best passing big was 4 PA.

Oh thats easy. I would have sat Julius Saunders... which game you say? EVERY game. I would have called up Robert Johnson and started him instead.

In all seriousness though, in our first game against Spain I would not have run LI. It wasn't a must win game for us, so no reason for us to use what we thought was our best offense. Using LI against Spain the first time allowed them to hone in on a double gap when we did the same thing in the finals. I would have chosen a LP offense for that game instead, saving the LI for the finals.

Also I was not a fan of the base offense choice against Serbia. While it was a good mix up, and we did fool them, they were still able to recover and force OT with us, causing us to sweat a little bit en route to a 4 pt win. I would have selected an Inside Isolation offense in that Scenario.

Additionally we did not select a patient offense at all last season. While we didn't have a complete patient player, it would have been an ok offense to run against a lesser team in order to add mystery to our tactical approaches.

I believe Winston Pham would have been a good early call up for a potential motion offense against nigeria. Or even a motion offense. Enrique benavides never truly got his opportunity to play either. Those two were the only under-utilized in my opinion. Although all the other players used were used well, so I suppose someone had to lose haha.

Question for the 2 leading candidates others maybe advise to answer this question but this is mainly for the 2 leading candidates right now. If I have to point them out I will. Teemo and Deucie.

The question is what will you do towards the disconnect of tanking to get under 21 players and mediocre members aligning towards established members of the USA federation of the national teams. Obviously BB has tried really hard to fix this problem but we need people like Deucie and Teemo to fix this problem themselves.

I am sorry Wardo I can't understand your question. Can you please rephrase it ?

I also cannot understand. My apologies.

Come again? Lol

What are the two leading candidates going to do about the disconnect of the established members.

I hope it gets solve by the time I put my name up for the USA under 21 election.

Hi folks, you probably don't know me but I am entering the U21 discussion.

I like many others think it's dumb that the same group of people run the team over and over, season after season. A new face but the same group of guys and even worse the same result. That result being, no gold. That is unacceptable. In fact, looking at the championship match this past season there's no way our roster should have lost but with poor gameplanning and tactics we got destroyed and took silver.

I don't know if I have a shot, heck.. I really don't know if I will even get a vote. But those of you who do see this and this message hits home I hope I can get your support. Let's do away with the "single party" system where these guys just choose one of there buddies to be the next coach to ultimately fall short.

America needs a change and the change starts here!!

Supetenor. And anyone else registered but did not make a speech. I ask the same questions to you, that I asked to the 2 other candidates of the “single party”.

I also ask a follow up different question: is it single party still when 1 of the guys is literally from a different country?


Your speech is actually fairly accurate. I have felt that way for the larger part of 10+ seasons too.
