Cynical? Why do you think every other pro came running to him after his success with Chrissie? I doubt it was because they wanted to be best pals with him.. There is not exactly a lack of coaches to choose from out there and anyone who makes a decision on coaching has to weigh the pro and cons of the coach. I think most people would lie if they claimed Bretts past is not a relatively big con but obviously the athletes who still choose him over other high performance coaches think other things outweigh that. Not sure how anyone can dispute that.
The question of how bad it is to enable someone who commited his crime in the context of coaching to continue in that profession is one I'm not exactly sure of in this case, but it should probably never be taken lightly. I know some excellent people who are coached and have been coached by him and I don't question their character but at the same time the whole concept bothers me slightly.
