It's "out of sight, out of mind" mentality from what I'm reading. Reading what now several different pro's have said, they got their time with him, believed he was not working with kids and as long as their time with him didn't include minors, all was good, with the acknowledgment that he messed up early in life.
Now what I find intersting is that with most issues, the more you stay in that environment, the harder it is to actually stay away from what you are suppose to stay away from. But I guess when you can nitpick what "coaching" is, well then there is always seemingly an out. I'm shocked that a coach in his position is still allowed juniors in any triathlon related event (whether coaching, sponsorship, team function). That just kinda seems like its a little too close for comfort, and I'm not suggesting anything wrong will/would happen. Just that in this circumstances, it seems like better judgment could occur. But again, I guess you have to define what "coaching" or else that will continue to be an out.
