And who are you? And how did Tommy teach before Homer's death? What makes you such an authority? Hitting should be avoided??? That's insane....Tommy had a three day school devoted to hitting (3 day swinging school, 3 day hitting school and a 3 day advanced school for shot making with the swinging and hitting procedures). He told me on the driving range at Deer Track (1993)...."if you want to get this game in your hip pocket, you have to learn both swinging and hitting". Thank god, I made recordings of my instruction.
Funny thing....Tommy taught out of the book when I studied with him in 1993.....in the 12 DVD set he's teaching out of the book, in fact, I bought another copy of the 7th edition to follow his instruction and make notes. I'm having a hard time following your comments above...
I'm surprised through all of the exchanges about Tomasello's instruction you didn't make the above comments much earlier?

DG-- I would ask the same of you. We all know that you are a passionate advocate of TT's teachings, but I have often wondered if you were an amateur like me or a teaching pro. Would you care go elaborate on your own playing/teaching/student history?

Excellent...
Is that the program drummer Greg Bissonette (David Lee Roth Band) attended/graduated from? I believe he performed with the 1 o'clock Maynard Ferguson Band!!! Then went on to play with Maynard...

Bissonette was there, along with literally hundreds of other accomplished professional musicians over the years. The band was the One O'Clock Lab Band, part of a 10 band lab band program. 20 piece band based upon the Stan Kenton Band (the Kenton Library with all of his original charts is housed there). Maynard had no association with the school, although, God knows, he recruited dozens of young musicians from the program, as did Woody Herman and other big bands.
Greg's brother, Matt, a bassist, also went to North Texas and toured with Maynard and David Lee Roth.
Both are very active studio musicians today.
Any other questions? I worked for the Jazz Studies Program there for 5 years.
