How many times someone's been published or cited in other sources isn't necessarily indicative of how good of a teacher they are. I've had some profs that aren't as academically known be mcuh more phenomenal teachers than the superstar profs.
I think this is such a good point - I don't want you to be teaching me because you can write a good book, I want you to be teaching me because you can explain CrimPro well. My first choice school appears nowhere on that list, and I don't care - I'm happy with what actual students have told me about the faculty and that's more important to me.
