If you had came on, and said "yeah, it wasn't good - but let's start working now towards making next season a better one.", then that would be something we could work on from.

This? Spiteful at Japan managers for the NT team losing? The NT team you coached...
Japan is what it is. Could it be more active? Hell yes. But it's not as bad as some nations of similar size.
The simply fact of the matter is that you lost. That of itself is fine, but to lose games we should have won, then come in here and try and foist the blame onto someone else? That... is not fine.

Move along. Quit, tell a GM you're doing so, and let us get along with cleaning up your mess.

I hope you're not a typical Japanese.
My opinion about this nation is at a much higher level than the opinion of you.

You can never be better than me, you have to take a trophy.
I think that the role of "clown" in the forums the best for you and continue in this direction.

"press release" Why?
We have match announcement on forums, we can communicate there.

My last unlucky nation is under my leadership won the U21 champions.

Simple fact tho' Samuraj - you promised more communication than you've given. You could have easily ascertained that the user-base in Japan was not hugely active beyond 50% of the JBBL, and the odd div 2 manager.
If you cared to look around, it's a malaise experienced by a lot of smaller nations.

Now, how about you stop the denigration of us, and help us start the fixing process by leaving. I think you've pretty much burnt any bridges that may have existed now...

what?
I have a conflict with them at all forums.
It is very possible that because of personal happiness are happy whit Japan's defeat.(you know thatt , you can look at your forum)

I said that I was disappointed, I do not like to lose, I'm hoping to be able to pass in the second round, but we failed.
I am not accusing anyone, I'm just saying the facts.

Why do you think we could win the match?
Show me a tactical mistake in a game this season.

There's a huge difference between "being disappointed" and coming on here and pointing the finger at everyone else other than yourself.

I was a fairly ardent supporter - you promised much. Now? Hell no.

You're wrong,
BG Samurai is my username the last 20 years on the Internet.
BG - Belgrade, my hometown
Samurai - when I first registered at a site on the Internet, it was the first word in my mind, because I have a couple of minutes before playing the video game Samurai.
I have no Japanese fetish.
Also, I respect the Japanese people because of their tradition and history.

not interested politics
Your word must always be the last???

BG, you have to know there is pressure when you take on the NT coach job.

Im not here to point fingers. Japan lost some close games. We played Austrialia close. We also played Macau close.

Every season at the beginning of NT, I would send out an email telling the manager what i think should be managed on each player.

It takes about an hour or so, but with in 24 hours, i have usually heard from most of the managers. These mail means that they are aware of the fact that the manager of the NT team is paying attention to the training.

When you see guys pop in what you requested, that means the manager is taking your request into consideration.

I think the miss here is a communcation miss. There are good japanese players out there. When a guy is ANY NT team, he is getting trained. Believe it. A little communication means he is being trained in a way to help the team.

As my guy is right now, he is suitable as a reserve pg/sg/sf against LI teams and could even be used as a starter/backup depending on gameshape/situation. With NT, the game to game management is even MORE critical with a small country like Japan.

When you know a LI is coming, you gotta makes those emails telling guys to train that inside D. When you know Run and Gun is coming, same for outside D. NT Japan is weak at Center, everybody knows that. But our personnel works in situations for Princeton, Patient, Inside/Outside Isolation etc. On your defense however, you dont know the tendencies of Japanese players.

No one wants Okita because he will shoot 35 times a game even with good players on the court with him.

In your defense, i say you need some time to really get a feel for the talent NT Japan has. Now, we dont have farm teams, but most NT players arent in Japan either.

My advice to you, reach out more. Anaylze where your best players are getting beat and ask their owners to address that.

Look at the players that are your reserves. Tell their managers what your plan is for them and how certain training could help reach their potential.
