Oh geez, so you're holding it against Jason and his team that they opted to not take their chances on a jump he hasn't mastered yet and rather chose to focus on clean, well-choreographed programs? That's called strategy. And it wasn't foolproof because had the others hit their quads and did clean programs he would have been out of he team. But that's not what happened.
It's not Jason's or Kori's fault that others decided to take the high-risk strategy and it didn't work out.
No- I'm holding it against him that he was inappropriately rewarded for not doing what the other US men did.
To be competitive at Worlds a Man needs a quad in the short and two in the long.
