Bashian's main point is that since we have no national development program, it's left up to college coaches, whose ranks are overpopulated with distance coaches, who abuse their distance athletes and ignore the non-distance types. These distance coaches look for 'finished products' overseas, thereby prevented USA kids from developing.
The solution, says Bashian, is for ATHLETIC DIRECTORS to correct this. As Texas is wont to say: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
While I would readily agree that the USA 'should' be doing better in the Big Meets, and I don't like USAian money spent on helping non-USAian athletes, the premise of Bashian's argument and his solution made me laugh out loud. Please tell the D1 ADs that they should feel responsible for T&F's lack of success! I think they might be a little too busy counting the gate from their last football game.
