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 like your juxtaposition of the classic good vs. evil dressed in black and white. Allen vs. Geek, maybe. Although Geek hasn't said exactly how he's cheating yet.
But I think some folks are also saying that there may be a gray area where you are not exactly cheating but testing a rule to the max? That's why I was wondering if the breaststroke rule only addresses the pullout and not what happens right after the start before the pullout. I am so lazy, I should just go read my rulebook.
