Hmmmm...

In your original post you stated you suggestion Skyler for the team over 2 years ago. I call complete bullshit. You had no idea who he was or if/how he could play on a big table.
1.Your not American
2. 2 years only, I say give a guy a chance
3.I like your style
4.You make some good points

Lee, you're forgetting one thing, the players aren't into you, man.
Not only won't the players play their best for you, there's some that won't play at all.

Elbow drop
The shot clock makes that an unrealistic choice.

I am a 99% committed Mark Wilson supporter But I like Lee and admire his enthusiasm as he tries to scratch ouit a living in a foreign country. But I cannot believe he seiously considers himself as a superior alternative to Mark.
His past is littered with examples of poor judgement and his notion that he could do a better job than MW is an example of another one.
He can still continue to contribute to the game but at a much lower level.

i beg to differ, Sir.
two years ago, i was calling for Johan (in his "retirement"), to take on Team USA as Coach - because it would be a given, that we'd win.
two years ago, in the Beatles celebratory Lounge, i was talking to Lee Brett about taking on Team USA for the win.
you, of ALL people, understand what i'm saying above, you Brit.
yáll have a raisin' that we don't. it's inherent; instilled. to beat them - you have to be them. there is absolutely nothing more exciting in pool, than the Mosconi. yáll play it well, and to your advantage; you thrive on the energy of your fans from the stands. and it works. it's what Europe does -we, on the other hand, do NOT. it is a mindset that we have not accomplished yet. (i tip my hat to you, as an American :bow-down
Mark Wilson is fantastic, but - you & i both know, that it would take an ENGLISH coach, to gear-up Team USA & jerk a fricken knot. and especially for next year.i'm sure you know Lee, and so do we. he was here a couple of weeks ago & it was great to see his British Arse. he has the wear-with-all mentality to get us/USA where we NEED to be. and for the players who can't "hang" with that....well....then they'll continue to eat 50% losses.
it is a mindset that yáll are accomplished in. and until we have lived it, and understood it, we fail to relate, and hence, conquer. i think yáll FEAR him taking over the Team...?
Lee is what we need.
(albeit, an arse)
I was there at the Mirage two years ago. Lee indeed mentioned the young guns along with another one, Landon Shuffett, I remember because I went right home and looked these guys up on youtube. He even knew Landon had quit the game to go to school, I believe medical school?
Lee is more passionate about pool than 95% of the people on here. He has no other job. This is his life. He travels the states constantly. He knows who is out there at the lowest levels and what they can do. Can any of you critics say the same?
Yes, he knows Barry Hearn. Do you? He knows all the top players. He is not full of shit.
As for him not being American, look at Darren Appleton, he lives in Pennsylvania and plays on the Euro team. Mika lives in New York and played also.
Will posting on here get Lee in the door? I doubt it. Will he be made captain? I doubt that too. Co-captain? Sure. I'd love to see that. Last year the Euros had Rico Diks as their co-captain. Lee is as good or better of a choice for the Americans.

Wendy, I love ya, but you are out of your mind here, and I could not disagree more. The LAST thing Team USA would benefit from is a change of captains. Randy Goldwater said it best.

You Sweet Thang You. You are confusing enthusiasm with ability. I will explain but not in this Dead End Thread
and back at ýa, Scott. :lovies:
you and RandyG might be coming at it from an instructor's point of view? (please correct me & post what you refer to above) and i completely respect Mark Wilson's accomplishments.
i am simply stating my opinion after 25yrs of rugby, inthat, the coach's position has nothing to do with instruction per se, but moreover, in his strategic moves for his players & support thereof.
i don't know how well Johan shoots - but i know that he had control of his players, cause he was with them constantly. (as exampled in the Beatles Lounge). and i also know that Lee Brett was there when the USA Coach was not.
a coach commands respect. he absolutely has the ability to "turn it on", as well as "shut it down". and THAT, is the mentality that THEY have instilled.
a pro, is a pro, and should be able to perform, period. but Mosconi is different. it's completely different. they THRIVE on being boo'd....it's what generates them to defeat their opponent. (it's a little twisted -)
let me put it to you this way - their EUR egos are so-oooo huge, and corroborated by their coach, that their mentality is that:
THEY CAN NOT LOSE.
and that, is what we need a British Ass for.
lol, this thread reads like one of those: "My client is an exiled Nigerian prince..." emails you get fishing for bank details.
I have the credentials, so send me your money and i promise a win.
Hmmmm...
Watchez i know every player who can play in this country since 2009.
- Thank you, i can get the job done. I only need one go at it. Yes i am that confident.
This isn't about me, this is where you are missing the boat, This is about winning for the nation and all you passionate fans, and putting any differences aside, this is not politics, but i am afraid the Mosconi cup is becoming this, got to be a yes man is what i hear people say.
A great soccer team had 2 goalscorers who hated each other, but they played together and won everything. It's called winning for the cause, many players hated the manager, but he made them perform.
Doug this is where we beg to differ, saying i am inferior is way off the mark, this shows how much you actually know. I am not disrespecting Mark at all, it is obvious you are good friends with him and got him the job, i have been told by matchroom i would never get the job, same thing it reminds me of Thorsten Hohmann was world #1 and not picked, politics and face fits. Go ask Thorsten, he will tell you he won't be picked.
Played 2 lost 2, i am afraid the record is there in black and white Doug, we are in a results business, if he was a manager of another sport he'd be fired. You say another poor judgement, you can carry on bringing up other peoples past, but only god can judge a man and know what they went through in there life. We can't all be brought up and be perfect angels like you Doug, we all have a past, mine is mentioned all the time and i am judged by this. An American player not so long ago a major past, i didn't hear anything mentioned, he has turned his life around and good for him.
I will be releasing all FREE videos on you tube in the next few months, maybe you can judge me when you actually see me work. Until i am the captain, you can't say inferior to do a better job. I will spell it out in one word why the problem exists when the heat is on.
FUNDAMENTALS
Doug you picked Mark, so next year when its 7 straight loses will you say give him time? I hope you prove me wrong, but until that happens i understand you have to stand by your horse...The Americans need to start being more ruthless.
Shane - 60% of his ability
Mike - 30/40%
Corey - 30/40%
Justin and Skyler - Performed to what you need to win the cup, Mark picked them as both wild cards, job well done, i'd of picked the same 2 players.
Will Corey and Mike be picked next year if they don't get in on the ranking? because they didn't perform, i'd say NO. So you could argue they should be given another chance to perform also. Fine line who is to blame, players or the coach. At the end of the day, accepting we played better but lost is a losing mentality.
The 3 players who didn't perform to their best and they will admit this. This is where the coach does his job, to get the to perform and fix what they are doing wrong. I wrote down what they was doing wrong, simple quick fixes to make them perform to their ability.
I will stick to my lower level of being a low level coach and let time prove me right or wrong. But give more respect where it is due, saying i am inferior is clueless. All my life i have had adversity and proved everybody wrong. If only we could gamble at coaching like Shane does at pool. There has been an open offer to any coach in the world that wants to show me i am a low level coach. I am the best at what i do and i can back those words up anytime.
Been a dream to coach in the mosconi cup, i will hold out one day i got the chance. But please don't tell me i aint good enough. And judge people by making poor judgments when they was young.
I will even offer my time to come to St Louis and work with Mark and the team. I am all for seeing American win again.

Lee, with matchroom stating that you would never get the job, for whatever reasons, why push to get the job? You might be the best coach in history, but if the guy in charge says NEVER, what's the point of putting yourself out there to take the abuse you are getting on here? I'm not understanding your point of it all.
Hi Neil,
I want to help and offer my services, i will always have a goal of being the captain and i won't just give up. If they want to ask me what needs to be done, they have my details.
I will always have haters, we all have them, we all make mistakes, it is how we come back from it and then show others and teach them how to learn from them and pass this on.
God only gives you what you can handle..
