As a previous poster already stated..."if you are good enough, .....you are good enough."
If I have to choose though between the two schools, I would go to Harry's school in a heartbeat. The reason being very simple was the experience I had the first time around I inquired to both schools for information in considering which one to attend.
I emailed both schools. Like a week later, I recieved a package in the mail from Jim's school with the forms, a brochure on the school, and then a video tape as well to watch, which went through a quick overview of the school.
A couple of days later, I recieved a phone call in the afternoon. It was Harry Wendlestedt calling me to personally answer my questions for me about his school that I may have had.
Since that phone call, I have pretty much decided that if I ever go umpiring school, that I would go Harry's school in Florida.

You get a free video describing the school and you see this as a negative?

I don't think he was putting down Evans' school in any way. He was just saying he was really impressed that Harry himself called him on the phone to answer any questions.
