Are they going to leave a swimmer off the Pan Pac team who posted a time ranked 5th in the world this year (tied with Cullen, obviously) over what appears to be an assistant coach's mistake that led to a violation of an administrative rule?
I'm not in the "rules are rules" camp on this one. It's not like he slowed down the meet or prevented another swimmer from swimming by missing the 100fly. The letter of the law was violated, but in the spirit of the law, I don't see where the harm was done.
He is still the one that is responsible for being where he was suppose to be. Swimmers that are high ranking get left off of teams all the time. Is right that someone who is a highly ranked swimmer gets left off the team because they had missed taper? That isn't their fault as well but they still get left home. .
Regardless of who didn't scratch him or tell him to show-up, the rules are there. He didn't follow them, he shouldn't have been allowed to swim the 50. He should be dq'd from the event as well.
