Sure, coaches have holes in their schedule and will fill it by watching a game but in general they have a plan regarding the games they attend and watch.

If there is a conflict where they have two players on their list at one time on separate fields, they will generally go to the higher level game.

No, they will go to the priority recruit first.

It's all about playing D1 soccer.

No one cares about watered down this and that.

Big picture stuff

Trouble is, college placement is affected by team performance. For most players, there is greater college coach attendance at championships than at showcases.

Not necessarily. College coaches will be at events with a high volume of teams. They do not walk around the complex looking for the playoff games instead of showcase games. They’re all just games.

+1. They also are not trying to discover new players at games. That would be a waste of time. They are looking at players who have shown interest in their program, they have initially scouted and like (via talking to scouting network, watching videos) and who are not committed already. Those are the factors that determine what games to watch not team performance. They have a schedule/plan and are not browsing the best games for players.
