To Prove My Point...

CORRECTION!!!  I was pretty upset earlier when I wrote this so let's for a moment give a benefit of a doubt to the coach because of the ref.  In the pics it is possible that the ref was in the way of the coach seeing the headshots that T did in this 2nd match.  It's possible though so take what I wrote below with a little bit of a grain of salt because what I wrote below could've happened too but we will never know the absolute truth other than T did in fact get these headshots because the photos prove it.  

To prove my point about that the coach cost him a medal at a major tournament I want to share these screen shots I pulled from the videos.  A headshot is 3 points.  T did a total of 5 unchallenged 3 point headshots and you will see four of the five in these photos.  The fifth one looked like that probably wouldn't have resulted in points if there had been a challenge.  You will see two photos from the first round then the score then you will see two more photos from the second round and then the score.  T was in red in this second match.  You do the math and you will see that if the coach had challenged, like he should have, that T would have won both rounds and advanced to the medal rounds.  It's almost as if the coach didn't want T to win or something?!?!  I'm so angry right now because I know this should have gone differently.  I am so glad that we have moved on from this coach because he obviously wasn't having T's best interest in mind when he coached him in this match.

Now you can understand my outrage over this.  Major tournaments are a big deal and to lose because you just weren't up to par is one thing but to lose because your coach wasn't doing his job is entirely another thing.  This should never happen at a high level event.  Thank God this coach will no longer be coaching him and he for sure won't be in the chair coaching T anymore after our really paying close attention to what actually went down in Texas in these videos.  

Go rewatch the videos in the post before this one and you will see these kicks in it and you will also see that his coach never challenges anything the entire match.  That's a very odd and rare occurrence when a coach doesn't challenge the ref's on anything.  It's almost unheard of in this sport.
