Who are the coaches? I'm fine beating NT90 haha.

KRAM1 · January 15, 2014

Who are the coaches? I'm fine beating NT90 haha.

As has been previously noted...the player coaches are:

Andrew and

UNT90.

It will be a battle of the two extremes...

1) UNT90 where the players can do whatever they want and be completely resolved of any responsibility as they are "just kids" VS

2). Andrew whose players will be required to wAtch no TV and fast for three days before the game to prove they are "real men"... And or "real women".

It is definitely a classic in the making!

This one is going to be the best of the four games to date!

Any luck on getting current or former players involved in anyway? Jacob H. and Quincy Williams are always around.

Current players are not allowed for all sorts of reasons.

They could not watch.. Why can alumni play with them in the rec? Just curious what the difference is.

I also thought that at one time they had helped out by being referees. Am I wrong?

Well, yes..we did have an active women's team player ref for us one year...that was a mistake, but no compliance issues resulted. They can play, with permission, but the compliance issues loom high enough that it is just not worth the risk. Former players, no problem.

Have tried and tried to involve these folks to a great extent. Had a bit of success when a couple of seniors helped coach and ref. If you can help get a few out that would be great.

No problem at all with current players watching.

I'd definitely be interested in playing or helping out however I can. Just gotta know what I need to do.

Excellent, Sir...but what you do is 100% up to you.

Want to play? Super as we do still need players...if so, what is your t-shirt size?

If you would like to help in other ways as well, we could use some help gathering some silent auction items....gift cards from restaurants are great if you frequent any places and might feel comfortably asking for a gift card donation....

Just let me know what you would like to do...thanks for your participation.

Andrew · January 16, 2014

Oh yea if I need a t shirt I can do a medium though I like larger shirts as well so it doesn't matter. Medium is probably best though

Got you down for a medium. Thanks.

THOR · January 17, 2014

great to have some new folks joining the game...it will be a great time for all!!! just make sure you new folks pay your penance in beer...and this is above and beyond your entry fee...

Shouldn't Andrew be the coach of the team that doesn't need a coach because the coach doesn't have any effect on wins and losses?

Also, I think there should be a draft this year. Last years teams were just a little slanted (like me being the only one on our team over 5'10"). The fact that we pulled off the greatest upset in the modern era of the GMG contests is a compliment to my coaching, of course. And maybe Rob's tenacious 5"10" rebounding self and the female who was lights out from 3.

With your description of our coaching viewpoints, I'm not so sure we won't get the "short" end of the stick again this year. ;-)

A draft would go a long way to even things out.

Also, are we ever going to get CBL off the compound long enough to come participate in one of these "games?"

Andrew · January 20, 2014

Is it two twenty minute halfs? And let's be honest the coach in something like this mostly handles substitutes and maybe a defense if people can operate. I suppose they can motivate everyone.

A draft would be fun. Maybe one step closer to a tournament haha. I know your not interested but may one year when my life is less busy. That happens eventually right....?

I am only 5'10 but it's a good height
