My comment/ question is why would the 757 directors have a showcase the same weekend the ODU coaches would have their showcase. Do you not see the problem with this?

I can answer this one, because the answer is simply, no.

There are events going on all sorts of places every weekend. There are always going to be conflicts. In the end, you choose the one that suits your needs best and you miss the other one.

ODU recruits from all over, not just in your area. And not everyone in your area is pursuing ODU. The overlap is much, much smaller than you might think.

In any event, at some other weekend, there might be a showcase here and a tournament there. The showcase might be in Norfolk and the tournament might be, e.g., in Blacksburg. And yet you might find the ODU coaches scouting in Blacksburg. They go where they need to go to see who they want to see. It's not as provincial as your question suggests you may think it is.
