New Gary Hall commerical

I posted information at www.usswim.org about Gary's 4x100 free relay at the 2004 Athens Olympics. It is said in this thread that coach Eddie Reese set the condition for being in the 4x100 free relay, and that Gary blew up two chances then felt entitled and deprived. This is wrong. Eddie Reese set the condition of achieving a 48.5 in the morning preliminary relay, alright. But he set the condition unilaterally, forcing it without the consent of Gary. The condition is too high and unrealistic. Gary tried to achieve the condition. The condition shouldn't have been binding, as in being too high and unrealistic, an unprofessional decision. Why? 1.) Entering the 2004 Olympics, Gary was #4 American (behind Lezak's 48.17, Phelps's 49.05, and Crocker's 49.06), so with a fair decision he is in the 4x100 free relay. Gary finished the 2004 as #4 American, #12 in the world. 2.) Entering the 2004 Olympics 4x100 free final, Gary came in with a morning preliminary relay time of 48.73, hard to match. 3.) In the 2004 Olympics 4x100 free realy, Phelps at 48.74 and Crocker's flat start at 50.0x, didn't match Gary's 48.73 morning relay time and 49.16 flat start at the 2004 U.S. Trials. 4.) In the Olympic training camp, Phelps didn't practice relay starts with the U.S. team, and that's why he was slower than Gary's morning relay swim. 5.) Crocker was ill and this was known to coach Eddie Reese. Eddie naively blew it to put Crocker in the relay in spite of Crocker's sickness. 6.) Gary performas faster at night than his 48.73 morning swim, he is not a morning swimmer. 7.) Gary has an experience of fighting big time relays battles, and he often comes from behind in races where he is like overachieving. 8.) Coach Eddie Reese wrongly mocked Gary by stating that at 29 he is old and past his best years. This is unprofessional and naive. A few days later, Gary won gold in the individual 50 free. Beating everyone in the world, in speed. 9.) In 1995, coach Eddie Reese at University of Texas was poking fun at Gary not making intervals in practice. Coach Mike Bottom was listening. Coach Mike Bottom took Gary to: .) five medals at the 1995 Pan Pacific Games, .) silver in the 50 free and silver in the 100 free at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, .) gold in the 50 free and bronze in the 100 free at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and together with Olympian and coach Jon Olsen has a hand in Gary's gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics. 10.) 1.) thru 9.) are not hindsight, it is the professional duty of coach Eddie Reese to address them for competent foresight. Eddie Reese has egg on his face: the 4x100 reee U.S. team could have won silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics, behind R.S.A. but ahead of Holland. I met Gary at the 2004 U.S.M.S. Short Course Nationals in Indianapolis. He is a friendly champion. Positive and respectful. (His younger brother, Brian, has same qualities).
