Hall is the elder statesman of swimming. He has the hardware to prove it. He trains with diabetes, an almost impossible feat to imagine knowing the rigors of Olympic swimming training. Leaving him off the team was a mistake blinded by that washed out orange that Crocker wore in college. It's not Crocker's call to pull himself out, it's the coaches. That's why we have coaches.
I realize highsight validates my argument and not yours, which is unfair. I agree Hall didn't make many friends in the Olympics. Course I thought he was there to win medals, which he did. He probably could have one more.
