It's not only a tough challenge cutting down all this talent to get to semi-, finalist and, ultimately, the team. You've got to get a range of folks who can offer perspective on what it takes at the competition and also those who can are familiar with the players strengths and weaknesses. For instance, to bring up one of the subjects of this thread, can a guard man both positions well enough? As such, you've got to have a range of people on the selection committee as well. A person who spends a lot of his/her time in the AAU scene can be very helpful.

As Coco brought up, I raised this very same question in an indirect manner early on and it was addressed. Some might still say that person has out-sized influence but you could make the same argument about anyone on the committee if you want (and we've all seen it).

Strikes me that we've all seen enough positive write-ups about Burke, Taylor and Watson beforehand that if you didn't know Lynch was on the committee, one wouldn't bat an eye at their inclusion.  Let's see how they (continue to) do....
