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.

this thread reminds me of that movie "ladybugs" and "mighty ducks" where you have the good, pure team going against the vicious, cheating team.
I'm picturing a coach dressed all in black, standing on a starting block, leering over the kids, instructing them all the methods of cheating and how to win dirty. Sure would make some mean, conniving kids if all they think about is cheating to win.
what's the glory in that? i don't see how winning, knowing you cheated to do it, really constitues as winning. If you're not doing the same thing as another competitor, it's not even the same event.
