Narrative:

Giving instruction 5 mi southeast of ril at 9000 ft, king air called in from southeast and I made a blind report (position and altitude, conducting air work). Later, king air pilot advised that we missed by 200 ft. I never saw the aircraft. We were on 122.8. My question is: how a pilot with TCASII aboard would let a situation deteriorate to 200 ft?
