I think teams have the fast strategizing down, because you have to do it in between matches... it would be nice to give less strategy time and more alliance selection time IMO.

Although I agree, that there is too little time to finalize lists, and sell your team after the matches conclude saturday, I'd still rather have strategy time than selection time. Having worked both as a scout and a coach at official FIRST events, and scout, coach, base driver, human player, and arm operator at off-seasons, I can guarantee you that strategy time is more important than selection time.
Each and every team has different scouting notes on the other teams, and having strategy time gives you time to compare notes, especially regarding what strategic trends your upcoming opponents like to use.
