Mosconi cup SOLUTION

Are there any well known coaches for pool other than Johann?

lots of former/older pros do coaching. but they need someone who's both a coach and a captain, preferably with MC experience

Jerry Briesath or Randy Goettlicher come to mind as possible coaches.

Is Jerry Briesath really a coach? I thought he was more of an instructor. I'm not sure the two are the same skill.

Bert Kinister?

Advertising - what else. Gazillionoids might in fact be the problem.

So pickleball and cornhole attracts more advertising than pool? Maybe watching 2 players play safe with each other is more like chess, a hard game to play but not fun to watch, if you want the players earn more money make the game more fun to watch, this will put more fans in the seats to watch them, I'm not suggesting 5" pockets but 4.25" would be good and add an element of risk to the game and lock up safeties would be harder to play.

Everything about the Mosconi Cup is good the way it is. Watch the fans...excited. Watch the players...extreme pressure. Great execution of 'do or die' shots. What other pool tournament would you rather watch from beginning to end? Or go to watch?

I have attended & filmed many Mosconi Cups.
It’s the one pool event that must be experienced on both sides of the pond and then you will understand.

Do you watch chess currently?
The streamers who go over the games of champions are quite engaging.

Maybe Mike Ditka!

Imagine dogging the nine and having to face Ditka!! Holy Shit…..

That would be an epic moment in Mosconi Cup history..,.

It's a given, entertainment's been harnessed to recycle the fountaining. If the water is off color/taste/smell, the response is weak, fuk that fountain. Look for a better one.
I could GAF about any one's or manner of expectations. If you like doing something, you'll do it. If rich is your bent, don't start with pool.

I agree, I could GAF about anyone's or manner of expectation, I would love to see more young people playing pool and falling in love with the sport, you do you......
