[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swim always goes by times, so this isn't racism. Sure, its not necessarily "fair" but the other kid could be swimming with a year round group.[/quote] I think you missed the part where the OP said the coach didn’t just go by times before and picked a slower white swimmer who was more consistent, but didn’t extend the same privilege to a black swimmer in a similar circumstance. This is a good illustration of what can happen when coaches play around with things, instead of just using the times. Messy. Better to have rules that eliminate bias. I am pretty sure the software exists for seeding meets that flags seeds that aren’t based on matching fastest times from each team in each event. That would be one way to help reps monitor coach’s substitutions. Is this is a thing? Though I saw something about it somewhere.[/quote]
