+1 Correct. That is why Mark Wilson is most suitable captain, he employs some professional and scientific management techniquesAfter reading all the comments, today and over the past years, it's clear to me that few people understand that great individual players do not necessarily make great team players. I repeat: Great individual players do not necessarily make great team players!
Mark Wilson gets this and has a history of coaching winning teams. If you think it's a good idea to break up a team because they didn't win in their first appearance at the MC, you know little about team play. Changing players every year will not make the US team suddenly better than the Euros, who (though they don't always have the same players) play as a team, practice together, support each other...and get along with each other.
Thanks for the clarifOk guys and gals, I think this should clear up some of the questions. I spoke with Luke Riches the man who runs the Mosconi Cup to get some clarifications for everyone. Below is what he wrote to me so these are not my words or my interpretation.
The ranking will comprise a number of events culminating in the US Open in October.
The series of events and the points system to be used will be announced in the near future.
- There will be points awarded to players eligible for Team USA, who finish in the top 32. 'Eligible players' simply means players eligible to represent USA in international sports competition ie not overseas nationals who live in the USA.
- The top three players at the close of the ranking series will qualify for the Mosconi Cup side.
- The remaining two spots will be wild cards selected by the team captain, who will once again be Mark Wilson.
Say that to Arnieat the very least NOT SOUND SCOTTISH!

Just my opinion, but I do have experience in team play going back to 1966, and have captained, coached or played on scores of championship teams, including at the state and national level.
What teams or champions has Mark Wilson coached that have won anything? ...
Substitute Dennis Hatch for Corey Deuel and you'd have the exact same team that lost 11-2 in 2013.I hope the best in USA can be in Mosconi team
My Dream Team USA
Earl Strickland (Team Captain)
Johny Archer
Rodney Morris
Corey Deuel
Shane Van Boening
Coach: Mike Sigel or Jim Rempe.
I hope it can be happened this year

Mark Wilson tried to do something and went with a largely unknown young team. That was a novelty last year and the fans watched, but if Team USA keeps being a bunch of young unknown players who never travel internationally for events and who are largely unknown outside of their regional tours or the USA gambling scene that would seriously start to hurt the interest in the event, especially in Europe where most of the fans are, and where they do not know who a guy like Justin Hall or Jeremy Sossei even is.

My question of are any U.S. players already ineligible for the U.S. Mosconi Cup Team
in 2015 still hasn't been answered. Just want an answer is all.

I guess I did ask the right question, as you answered it.
Thank You, pro9dg

I'm not saying that your dream team shouldn't represent the USA in 2015 because I'd actually like to see that lineup as well. However, Earl can not be allowed to act the way he did in 2013. After watching antics throughout the tournament, I completely understand why he wasn't allowed to participate in 2014.
That much I did research.Lindenwood University
