We've pushed unwilling nbba managers to run for NT before with a guy named RamQ. He was a fantastic team manager but the NT manager spot was thrust upon him when he didn't really want it. Long story short he went bot mid season.
What I'm getting at is that NBBA success means nothing for the NT if the manager isn't motivated enough to do all the work that is necessary to enable the future of the NT.
For sure. I mention being in the NBBA since it's indicative of a certain proficiency in game management and planning, but that's just some of the skills needed for coaching a large NT. From what I've seen, the large majority of time is hours put in bbmails, dinking around spreadsheets, and managing the few unruly and surly staff you manage to round up. Skills I've seen IV managers do quite well.
The combination of being around the NT program for a bit, managing a much smaller scale NT program, plus having the tactical experience at higher levels I hope have given me a well rounded enough skill set to meet the challenge.
