So Crocker is ill on the night of finals. We need Hall to swim (even though he did not go 48.5 in the AM per Reese's qualification requirement to swim at night) he went 48.7, where's Gary to take Crocker's spot? GONE! I don't care what he wore before the 50 his perogative, but not there for his teammates was classless and self serving.
I don't know how anyone can think any differently. I am not belittling his swimming or past accomplishments, but if he is the "elder statesman" of US Swimming (which I don't think he would ever want to be called that), then he should live up to that and root his teammates on.
Reese making a Texas relay has got to be one of the most preposterous assumptions I have read on here and that includes Ion quotes from the past.
Give me a break!
