Rock Da’ Vote
Nope, sorry I’m not talking about McCain or Obama. Actually, I’m referring to all the voting power you have as a ’Real GM’ of a real IBL professional basketball franchise. It’s great to actually come up with a concept of allowing fans to run a pro team, but then the challenging part is deciding exactly how to make this practical. OMT has developed a voting module and voting schedule to show fans exactly how they will ‘Own the Dream’ by running the team as it is their own. To see the actual voting calendar click here.
I’m not sure all of those dates are concrete, but the voting calendar is an excellent example of just what ‘Owning the Dream’ means. OMT is giving you the responsibility of voting for the head coach on February 15th. Later on OMT is putting you in charge of voting in players as starters and backups. Now, of course the coach will be responsible for the rotation and playing time, but don’t forget you are the boss of the entire coaching staff. On June 1st the head coach has a mid season review where the fans evaluate his or her performance. If you are unsatisfied with his/her performance you can give him or her the boot. Will your favorite pro team let you do this now? I think not.
For current members I suggest checking out the voting schedule and module as we prepare for the season. For interested basketball fans the schedule shows you exactly what you will be responsible for once you sign up. Keep in mind that all these dates and votes aren’t concrete. If a big time star player begins negotiating with OMT in January, then it might be smart for OMT to have a vote in January. We also can’t predict roster changes, so the best thing a GM can do is visit OMT daily. GM votes and news come down quickly because this is the real deal. Can you handle it?
