Fred Roggin and Rodney Peete debated the subject during "Lunchtime" with Roggin and Rodney this week.

Roggin believes Ball is an evil genius that has become so absurd, that the pressure has been completely removed from his sons. While Peete agrees in part, he sees LaVar's actions as a negative in the long run.
