Dirk Bauermann Men's NT Basketball news

[behzadir]

was lbj ever treated like shit by the team melli and their players? Did lbj have to go to sarbazi if he set foot back in his country because he lost a chance at getting moafi permanently because of some sick bastards in the federation? Come on bro you dont know anything dont be so quick to judge

If by knowing anything u mean knowing stuff about Arsalan and what he does, then ur probably right since u see him more than he sees his bed. But about the national team ur knowledge is close to 0 if ur comparing urself to me in that area... BTW talking about LBJ, if AK would have gone through half the stuff that Lebron did, he would have quit playing ball.
In an interview, Buermann brought up a beautiful phrase. "U dont have to be in love off the court to play next to each other in a team,u just have to be good teammates on the court"
I really hope Arsalan makes a decision to come play for Iran, this is the age he is in his prime and can achieve glory. Kazemi belongs to the starting lineup of our national team.

what does that mean? if you mean players who have 2 passports who are good....there are none, I would know.

that is because you are not looking, when you are not looking and do not follow you would miss them, few players that have came and gone and should have been invited for TM were:

1) Ali Farokhmanish
2) Mike Rostamapour
3) There was a guy who was playing for Cincinnati Wild Cats back in 2008, he was pretty good, Iman something

these are the ones off top of my head, these players who have grown up in US and have gone through the High school, NCAA systems at the very least could be a good back up. there mentality is strong, their skills are developed compare to our players in iran.

Also we need to go after basketball players who have married an Iranian. I know particularly a player who is a former Louisville star married an Iranian and now plays in La Liga of Spain basketball.

we need to use all the resources we have to improve our team and not rely only in the home grown. Almost all teams in the world are using foreign players in the roster, why can't we do the same? it is 2015 and players move around and pick up citizenship of countries.

Cmon man. I know Ali personally. He quit and never had the level to play for TM.
Mike Rostampour, I havent talked to yet but I saw he has an iranian name. Not sure if he can be TM material....if he can ever get the passport to play anyway. Ali's dad is iranian and he never got the iranian passport.
Is it that easy to get the iranian passport if you have an iranian father without being able to speak the language? well it never worked out for Ali F.
Not sure which Iman you mean but I dont see who that could be. Iman Shumpert? LOL
who would this guy be from Louisville? La Liga? You mean ACB I guess
We could add 1 naturalized player but it does not look like they would want to do that in Iran.

[rouzbahani]

Iman Shokouhizadeh played at Centenary in the weak Summit League and he had 2.3ppg and then the following year 0.4ppg ....he sucked. he is a good agent now though

Bro i know a lot more than you know about the national team. I used to play organized ball here and its now arsalan and i got close to begin with. Team melli players many of the treated him like shit. Only 2 of them contacted him after he was cut. That camp in the coach's country, before te world cup they were putting him through hell and he was tolerating it for the love of country.
Trust me as an iranian i would love if he plays but as a friend i dont want anyone i know to go through that sh't

I cant know that info since Im not as close as you to the players. Its great that you have this info, thanks for sharing it. I've talked to Arsalan but not so much and last time is a long time ago.
You are the expert for the basketball in Iran, I respect that. You know much more than me about it and Im happy to hear news about the team if you have any. As I work for over a decade now as scout of international basketball players, Im an expert for the global basketball markets and players..I know some agents and players in Iran but im not as close as you are to them.

[rouzbahani]

I just recognized this message was not directed to me however haha. Ok persianbruin, my bad. LOL

I do not think we see eye to eye. I still feel the level of NCAA is much higher than the Iranian league even if you come from a small school. not to mention the mentality that the coaches hammer into you in the practice. Ali's ball handling was impressive enough in his college years. however he can't be the one approaching the federation for invitation. this has to be something internal and they have to approach these players abroad and bring them in to try out.

so what that he does not have Iranian passport? did danial davari, zandi, etc have passport to come to TM e football?!?? you go and get a passport.

CQ personally took the initiative to travel to Germany to talk to davari or swedent to talk to Omid nazari, but since we do not have a coach like that nor a "good" federation president that knows how to do these sort of stuff that is why are basketball is in state of shamble.

Ali tried it for years and could not get the passport.
Ali did not have the level of Kamrani and the other PG's we have....he was even more of a SG in the body of a PG...he was too short. That is why he could not have a good career in europe and that is why he retired at the age of 26. You cant say that only because a player played NCAA it means that he is good enough to play for the iranian NT...trust me, I've been dealing with all kinds of NCAA players....but Rostampour might develop into someone who can help TM...maybe. He never played pro, only college. Thats a huge difference. Let him play a season overseas first.

Bold # 1: no, he was half black/ half iranian, it was either iman or amen "something" i can't remember, he was 6'9-6'10 and a very good player
Bold # 2: Kyle Kuric, he is married to an iranian and has gone to iran with his wife per facebook page. 6' 4 plays for gran canari.Not to mention he trained under the great Coach Rick Patino.

this guy has no chance to play for US, nor his fathers country of Slovaki, however he would be a great addition to TM

why not? he gets to play international ball otherwise he wouldn't get that chance with US or Slovaki

[rouzbahani]

Kuric, yea I know him. I have seen him play since he played with one of my players at Gran Canaria. Very interesting player of course if he would play for Iran. But why wouldnt he want to play for Slovakia?! he would be their star right away?! strange he hasnt played for them...and yea, of course he has no chance to play for US

If playing organized ball is an indication of ones knowledge about the game itself or the NT(which i strongly believe is not right necessarily), then compared to you i must be the Iranian version of Jeff Van Gundy since i've played organized ball both in Australia and Iran.
About that camp i've heard lots of things from different players and coaches. I don't think the way coach was handling things in Slovenia was good at all, but it doesn't mean someone should pussy out just because he is being bullied by some(not all) of his teammates. AK should have the spirit to absorb trash talks and prove others he is the man by his game.
Again i really hope he can play for the NT since we want to have the best team available to compete with the best teams in Asia. An Olympic spot is a dream for most countries, we should't let it pass by now that we have the potential.
Back to the NT subject, Yousefvand has gotten some good looks from top ranked colleges. I think him and Rezaeifar have that instinct to be standouts from our U19 team. Though the main core will be pretty much the same we've seen in the last couple of years.

Thats right, you actually repeated what I said about Yousefvand..he has interest from many many top college programs..also some through my help. but lets see what happens. I hope it can happen at some point, starting with prep school probably because of the language problems

buddy i know people in the federation and influential basketball people in iran. Its easy for you to judge and those coaches i would say this to their faces (depending on which one of the two faces they have they show) i am sorry they fed you s bunch of bull and you believed it. But they are just trying to protect themselves.
As i said before i hope he accepts the invitation too but please remember that he has bigger role in representing iran and that is in the nba.
Also one more thing, its not about pussying out. After getting the boot from TM he could not come back to iran because of sarbazi and he designed and planned his life based on life in america. He cant now just drop everything and come back. I have urged him yo have couple of conditions before accepting TM invite and he agrees with me. Anyways, he loves to play for his country as long as his country doesnt fuck up his life like they have done the last year or so.

[persianbruin]

Also behzad one more thing. Its funny you mentioned jeff vsngundy. I saw him 4 days after kobe tore his achilles while we were waiting to get on the plane and we had a good chat for like 15 minutes sbout kobe the nba and arsalan. It was amazing how much he was interested about my life! When we got on the plane he sat right behind me and slept all the way to LA where he was going to broadcast a clipper game!
