I would love to get Buddy Hall or Earl Strickland coach me.
I would love to get some of my doubts cleared too.

Poll: Who Would You Want A Lesson With?
- Thread starter Lil_Kasper
- Start date
Earl Strickland just to hear him talk. The stories alone would be the best thing about any lesson. The man is a living legend and I would pay very good money to play with him for a few hours. I dont really think I could be taught that much more about the game except shots i wouldn't normally see. Shots only a top flight player would see. This shot selection knowledge and their abilities to stroke the cue with such precision is what separates them from the rest of us 
I voted for Buddy...he has a lot of empathy, and I feel that is the main
requisite to be a good teacher...the Miz is a close second.
I suspect that Willie would be the worst teacher on this list....
...patience and empathy were not his strong suits.

Why pro players?
From this list, I'd take Buddy
But you assume that everyone would choose a great player...
I'd just as soon take lessons from some of the instructors who post on AZ...they have teaching skills that at least two of the players on your list do not...

I agree,,,,a good teacher is a good teacher...
a good player is a good player....
Once in a while, they come in the same package
I'm of the opinion that it's just about blasphemous to mention here in the forums any woman in any "Who would you.....", "Who is.....", "Who has....." or "Who will be....." type threads. It's almost like anything the women have done in/for pool is totally non-existant when compared side-by-side with men using the same circumstances.
Examples: In two seperate threads a couple of years ago, one asking "Who has the prettiest/smoothest stroke in pool" and the other "What pro is the best safety player" (disclaimer: may not be the exact title of the threads, but you get the general idea), I mentioned Allison Fisher in both threads and basically my posts were ignored and not commented on as if it wasn't allowed to mention women on these threads.
Now, digging up old discussions: You cannot tell me that Allison Fisher does NOT have one of the prettiest/smoothest strokes in pool, and I can assure you that many of her 50+ titles she won was because of her stellar safety play.
But....it's a "man's world" and I guess in pool it is magnified even more

Maniac,
are you trying to tell everyone that you want Allison to teach you how to "stroke" j/k
You might be a lil surprised who i picked. As far as instruction goes, I thought i'd like a lesson from the guy I could have a beer and a chuckle with.
That'd be Danny Basavich.
I would also like him to show me the finer upper echelon points of certain spin and draw shots

It was really a good list. I could have chosen from 4 or 5 on it and felt good about my choice, Kid Delicious included!!!
