These guys have gotten super paranoid after just one meet. If they actually sit back and take a look at the whole picture, they didn't actually do that bad, minus the drop sticks. If we are to examine the track performances, no one was beating Bolt, SAF ran the race of her life, Melanie Walker was queen of the 400mH all year long and VCB beating Felix in the deuce was no surprise.

One assessment I do agree with is the need to drop the "olympic coaches" and just have a few managers and give the credentials to the athletes personal coaches. This was the comment that Franno was making before the games that led to all that bachannal with the JAM federation.
