If you take time to learn Bb trumpet fingerings, then TC is a natural and a good thing to learn simply to enrich the amount of music at hand--your copy of Arban's becomes half-price (over the tuba version), and you have tons of inexpensive practice material available written for Bb instruments.
If you ever intend to play in a British-style brass band, you'd better know TC--everything except bass bone is written in it.
Mr. Bobo's decision makes sense to me!
