The most interesting part is Stephen Zimmerman's mom participating in the debate. She came right out and said they were about to cut a school and then Zimmerman spent two weeks with the coach in a USAB Camp and it totally repaired the relationship and the school is back in play now. Assuming he's talking about Arizona?

I don't see how anyone could possibly argue it's not an advantage. Recruiting is all about relationships, so how would a coach getting to spend time working directly with a kid not be an advantage? It's clearly an advantage.

Yeah, that was fun. Jerry Meyer and Jay were not seeing eye to eye. Major Homerism out of Jay on this topic. Sad. Name calling and such. Really came off childish IMO.

That was my exact point. Simply put and understood by all EXCEPT that knucklehead.

Never been a fan of Bilas. He is a homer about most topics. It's his way or the highway. Likes to use his status to bully others trying to debate.

we can't prove directly that it does but more importantly he can't prove directly that it doesn't

Yeah, thought he had an advantage by asking for a specific situation knowing I'm not an Insider, little did he know, Ms. Zimmerman would provide me with one!! Haha.

Basic debate tactics............failed him.

That's how I see it. There is no science or equation to directly prove either side, so agree to disagree and move on. But he makes sure he gets the last word in and usually does it with a low blow.

Didn't Zimmerman's mom directly prove that it's an advantage?

It's not just Duke though, it's all the schools who's coaches are involved at the different levels of USAB. Not sure of all of them, but I know Boeheim and Sean Miller are both highly involved.

Sad thing is:
No matter what Jay Bilas thinks,
Coach K and Duke still wins overall.
Even the little twitter debate brings more publicity to the notion.
