In another thread I read that an unnamed USS coach was teaching using 2 dolphin kicks in breaststroke pullout,sneaking the first one in after the dive (like Kitajima did.) I had previously heard coaches teaching dolphin kick on the pullout before it was legal saying "I'll keep teaching it until they DQ it." What do you all think of this? I think the refs should watch for this and DQ the swimmers of course,but I think the coach should be flogged I don't care how many Olympians the might have trained.
I think the coach is implying that it is very hard for the judge to see the dolphin kick after the dive so there is little chance of being DQ'd.
I am not in favor of cheating. But many sports have a fine line between "gamesmanship" and cheating, such as offensive lineman holding in football. Some NFL players insist that it happens every play whether it is called or not.
