My Question of the Day for 25 February 2010 – UPDATED
My Question of the Day: A violation by a gymnastic coach cost her team their state championship, and a 2010 winter Olympians’ coach cost him a gold medal. Should competitors be penalized because of the action(s) of their coaches and/or support staff?
My 2 Cents: For me, this issue is like a double-edged sword. Athletes depend on coaches to help them win. You can’t then negate or abridge a coach because he/she does something to cause you to lose. It’s all for one and one for all when it comes to competition, unless you want to coach yourself.
It’s unfortunate that the athletes do the bleeding, sweating and crying and a coach can snatch a victory away from them for violating a rule or making a bad call, but that’s the way it works; point blank and period.
You must take the good with the not-so-good.
