Because it looks like TAT seems to be crucified for being a bad coach for Mao, I am bringing an objection to this atmosphere.
Due to TAT's health issue, she first rejected to become Mao's coach because TAT couldn't travel abroad often. However, Mao kept asking TAT for coaching, so, finally TAT decided to accept to become her coach.
After that...
TAT clearly said she CANNOT go to Japan often, but Mao only stayed in Japan and didn't want to come to Russia.
Normal coaching was impossible under this circumstance => TAT IS BLAMED
When Mao wore awkward looking costumes of her preference, it is known to be caused by weird Russian influence => TAT IS BLAMED
Initially her SP was Capriccio but since she couldn't perform it well, Mao and her team decided to rearrange last season's LP Masquerade to SP version => TAT IS BLAMED
Among many candidates for LP, Mao chose Bells of Moscow because she liked heavy music => TAT IS BLAMED
Mao's choreograph looked empty because she omitted most of it which TAT made for her => TAT IS BLAMED
After being suggested to do more off-ice training, Mao shuts herself up in aurora rink => TAT IS BLAMED
Tried to fix Mao's flutz, but failed => TAT IS BLAMED
Tried to fix Mao's habit of not picking her toe through out toe jumps, but improvement was not noticeable => TAT IS BLAMED
Told Mao to come to Vancouver early to get ready, but she didn't listen => TAT IS BLAMED
Her mother steps in in the middle of this situation => TAT IS BLAMED
Told Mao to do something else instead of 3A but she adhered three 3A's that had been hardly ratified => TAT IS BLAMED
So she beat Joannie and got OSM but it is not gold => TAT IS BLAMED
(These are FACTS I found at FS forums and reactions from fans. Correct me if anything is not factual.)
I am not saying that TAT is not responsible at all.
She is responsible for being the coach of Mao.
She is responsible for things she told to media while she was her coach.
She is responsible for her old-styled choreograph.
But when I think of who is responsible, Mao is responsible too.
TAT did try many things out as much as she could, but that trial was objected by Mao or didn't go through.
Indeed, Mao is responsible for some of the things that people think TAT is responsible for. (For example, the music choice - Bells)
Even though both TAT and Mao are responsible, people are now blaming TAT for EVERYTHING.
If Mao didn't succeed, it was because of Mao's ability, not utterly because of TAT.
TAT must feel this is unfair.
