You said the roster is getting worse. And you couldn't win with the better one. Sounds defeated to me.

And yes, a lot of your posts on this thread are edited.

I have a whole host of matches over the past three seasons to "qualify" me as someone who can tactically out think others. I don't need to prove it because it already has been done.

I already said even if I don't win the election I will still help out and contribute. I'm already on the Offsite and would also like to help out with new players to the game. But unfortunately, I will not join much of the discussion of each game if I am not the NT manager because I cannot just simply give away my tactical insight to be used by others especially since it's in a public setting. However, I would be willing to give more tactical advice (but not all) to whoever is the NT manager in private messages if they so desire.

So in conclusion, it would just be easier to vote for me. It's the NT's loss not mine if I don't win the election. I want to do it just to make USA win.

Edited because of typos but arguments and comments are the same. So please, go back and ready them.

I have mentioned that our bigs depth is going down and our best bigs are aging. I also mentioned we are starting to have some of the best guard depth in my opinion. I have mentioned that we are in a transitional period because of how great our guard depth compared to bigs, but that doesn't mean we aren't going to win.

That's exactly the problem. You can't equate club tactics and strategies to the NT. They are very different. If you had helped out with the decisions in the past you would recognize that.

As far as the unwillingness to contribute in a public setting... that's absurd. You can't reinvent the wheel. The discussions are about very specific situations and would in no way translate into someone knowing how you would behave with you own club with different players and a different level of play.

I understand you don't want to give away your tactical decision making, but I guarantee what you are thinking is not something that hasn't already been discussed at some point.

Yes you can. It's another human managing the opposing team. You have to be able to out coach the other human. I'm talking about pure tactics. Setting up your team in a way that there is no way the opponent can have foreseen. Knowing what they are going to with tactics even before they do. It's like a chess game where you have to think 10 moves ahead.

Exactly my point.

Winning one chess game is not going to give away how you play another.

Perhaps a better analogy is winning one chess game isn't going to give away your checkers strategy.

But looking at an individuals' history of chess games establishes a trend. That's where you as the manager have to mask your own history while identifying those trends and exploiting on what you see.

That's why I gave the second analogy.
