Phelps didn't swim the 100 at the trials nor in the prelims of the relay. Did he belong on the relay? Of course he did. The coaches were allowed to make that (obvious) decision. I see nothing wrong with suggesting that some of their other decisions may have been off. Coaches are human and capable of mistakes like anyone else. And sometimes they can lose their objectivity.
