Good guess !
Bitalis as you know is great player (1.4 average), He is on of the best instructor ! ( he does like every summer , instruction class for 3 month in south of france ) which is we don't have in the US.
Jean puts every tournament a great trick show ( amazing)
of course , we don't have to forget the actuell French legend Bury Jeremy ( who average the whole season above 1.8!!!) he still climbing the world ranking and he has already 3 podium in the worldcup. his highest run 25 , and 25 again !

Gilbert, Should USBA add a Requirement for the USBA National 3C Champion.
To once a month given free instruction/classes/lecture at a college or unversities where the Rec Center have a Carom Table. This could be funded using USBA National Champion Travel Fund. just asking for your opinion.
Which make me wonder if Tournament Promoter use all media mean Newspaper. Local News TV, Local TV Station talk show program, and etc. To reach mass audience to explain 3C?
Chance probably not!

Billiardshot,
I had my personnel experience with some of the instruction In the US,
I had a clinic with george ashby , it was ok but a lot of beginners and it didn't work out well!
I had some back then in Europe with Bitalis ,
Le boulanger ( the guy who made from Sanchez a legend) ,
&connesson
couple of clinic over here and there ,& what I like about EUROPE, they have a structured clinic goes deeply into the game and details and relation between the shots ...(it's hard to explain)
The only person that I know who can teach in the united state is BILL SMITH , we talk a lot about the game and he is enthusiastic about the game,he has good logic!
I don't think that US CHAMPION CAN BE A GOOD INSTRUCTOR ( since they are competing,they would tell you little things but not enough )
you need a clear mind people(not selfish) and down to earth , i am sure you know what I mean.
and regarding the USBA, They their own way , we are on a different page , they know everything and they don't like to be tolled !
I respect their opinion, each one has his own believes , time will come and things are going to changed .

Wonder whatever happened to the information Bruce Warner was suppose to obtain about Spain/ European Youth 3C Training program, when he went to Spain as USBA President?
The [ FFB ] Federation Francaise De Billard, still have the best information on training of youth 3C,
online, but in French.
Here some B/W Photos I found on internet. When at website click on photo to enlarge.
