How do you know what they are thinking? They're not likely to tell a parent or player.
I'll grant you that 180 is a bit too much of an exageration but I stand by the basic point. Now, as to your question - you assume too much. Could it not be that they might talk to me in a situation other than as a parent? I have several current and former college coaches I count among my friends.
Lastly I didn't say anything about figuring out their thinking based on an offer. I just agreed that trying to figure out their thinking could make you crazy - period.
ETA: If you are trying to say all the coaches out there look at kids and see basically the same thing, I'll politely disagree. Sports history is chock full of, "Where the heck did that kid come from and what did you see that I didn't stories?"
