Holy hell (pardon my language,but I was caught off guard)!!

Besides the foreigner who screwed Cockayne's game shape royally, amazing job training the game shape.. I had to do a double take... make no mistake, it's gonna be a tough and hopefully good game against a host team who gets home court and lacks many weaknesses. But thanks so much. Atleast you all are giving me and Canada Nt a fantastic chance to compete this week.

Thanks again, it was a long day and a nice surprise to see.

A very happy and appreciative NT Coach!!

My apologies.. rookie coach mistake.. I got nervous that we were playing host team and guessed gdp because it seemed as though they would go outside. The last couple times they played Canada inside they lost.. we are hanging in because of a wonderful second quarter and lead 53-51 at the half but a few things are against us...

1)The Gdp wrong guesses might catch up in the second half

2)WE are being outrebounded 7-0.. it's hurting us and why are lead isn't bigger. Not having Cockayne is hurting us in this department.

Either way, Brasil will be in first because of PD but it would be nice to snag a win, even with the wrong guesses.

odds are against us, but I am seeing that maybe our team when at good strength is a lot stronger than I predicted.. learn lots from losses or bad coach plays sometimes. Thanks for the support. Sorry to see Cletus go.

It's the first round, don't worry too much about it, it's much more important to avoid them in the semis if you plan to make it to the finals/worlds next season

Well there are many good teams .. so at this point of course there are some i'd like to avoid but there are many very good teams!! But thank you. We are now down 3 points with one quarter left, but by no means are we out yet. We were up by 5 at some points!!

a 9 point loss is not bad at all against Brasil @ home.
When i was the NT coach they used to be our arch nemesis, about the same level, same goals...!

You're doing a good job, don't forget to think long-term as well, not just game to game or even season by season.
For example, going to the second-chance tournament is a huge gamble if you don't have a team strong enough, as the 0-2 record at the start of the consolation tournament is a huge disadvantage when the goal is to be the last american team standing to gain HCA in the next season. However is the team is strong enough to win the america's championship, then yeah go for it!

thank you. tonight's games have made the possible brackets interesting for round two, with Venezuela and USA both losing. Let's see if getting 3rd instead of second helps us or hinders us!!!

But all good suggestions. Thank you for taking the time, I'm happy to take positive/constructive feedback , I appreciate that.

You are right though, some of our best players are old, so getting last chance might not be wise, we will take that into account, after we see our bracket.

Please keep in touch, I appreciate the help and observations!

Really ? I beat them twice and both games were relatively clear - if I remember right.

@Music_Chick: that was the easy part of it. Now the real games will start. But don´t worry about the loss against Brasil. Wif you wolud have won, you would have been second in the group, which is now Argentina ... which are in the same group as you - so, no damage happend

well in the end they ended up being the hosts of the america's championship right? :D
What I meant is that we have similar teams with about the same talents and about the same pool of players and managers. And ultimately the same goals

True. They have the same goal(s). But every team in the second round should have the same goal .... or a new NT manager ;)

yup you beat them twice, but neither at home, so it presents a different challenge. But i appreciate the words and yes, it is time to step up the preparations and game shape.. We all have our high points and low points.. The key is to have everyone band together. and so far, I like the improvement shown in speaking up and people improving the game shape..


Chile won't be easy!!!Any input, bbmail me if you like.

Thanks boys. !!!
