I have no idea whatsoever if that is illegal or not. I was not commenting on a legal/illegal issue. I am not a coach, and I will defer to Courtney bc I trust her judgement and it seems to me like she knows what's she's doing after all these years. I wasn't going to even address that issue bc I'm not qualified. If you guys have a big deal w/it, why not email her yourself and express your concerns (instead of being nasty like @rich on his fb and replies)? -That part isn't directed towards you Kingston- If it's really a big issue that needs clarification and you're worried about other gyms copying it, then contact her yourself. It's better than posting this on the fierceboard bc she's way more likely to respond to an email from a well known coach like yourself Kingston than to check out some thread on the fierceboard. I'm sorry, but it's laughable after seeing some of his comments to actually think @Rich is concerned about any of our athletes' safety...calling it like I see it.
Again, I have no idea if the stunt is legal or illegal and was not commenting on that specific issue. The way some people were getting all worked up, I thought they probably assumed it was at a competition.
