In line with that thought, why is it coached and evaluated by local club heads? Isn't there an inherent bias and conflict of interest there?
While I agree with you in principle I do not see a way to find independent evaluators, anybody with the knowledge and ability to evaluate and coach a team like this would also have a bias if you went with college coaches you have their bias if you bring in people from another region what is there incentive to pick the best team - also the tryouts are in a bunch of different locations all over the country so if you bring in outside coaches and evaluators the cost would be astronomical and this is after all a business, and lastly, IMHO if you bring in independent evaluators and they pick the best 24 out of 400 that tried out over two days you probably would not get the best team but merely the kids that tryout or tried out well.
