In response to rbg
First, diplomatic is a better word to describe Amaker's position, and - I believe - his public position on the Palestra.
There is no question that providing one participant home court advantage can affect outcomes. Also, there is no question that providing one set of students and fans the convenience of walking/traveling to their home arena is a great benefit to those fans and an inconvenience to all others. Such an inconvenience, that many students neither have the time nor the resources to attend.
There are numerous reasons not to play at the Palestra. How about we rotate, and come back to the Palestra in 15 years. Sound fair to Penn fans and residents of University City? Of course not.
