Jason does spend chunks of time with Frank Carroll in CA taking jumping tech with him, I don't think Frank would be a decent full time coach for him though, and Tom Z is definitely not a good fit.

He'll never leave Kori IMHO.

Could you see Jason working with Alex Ouriashev, or would that just "muddy the waters" at this point with Jason having to unlearn what he has learned with Frank?...Can't imagine Jason changing coaches. He has said Kori was his first coach and would be his last coach.

IDK I mean, if he wanted to work with Alex full-time he would have never left Illinois in the first place. I'll have to think long and hard about who I could see Jason "working" with full-time. Orser might be a good fit, but again, I'd have to think about this.

I meant for jump training only.

He was doing well with Frank, IDK how much he's been out there in the last season or so, so I can't say too much on that. I think it would hinder him to get another or new jump coach at this point.

If he's going to change coaches it needs to be a full-time one that can give him everything he needs (hence why I suggested someone like Orser).

ETA: Nothing against Rohene, but I would love to see what someone else's choreo would look like on Jason at least once in his career now that he's developed into the current day skater.

Maybe it’s kind of pie in the sky, but I’d love to see Torgashev go to Orser. And Wakaba Higuchi.

I’ll be eagerly watching the next moves Jason makes in his career, as I’m a big admirer of his. I loved the fairy tale of him and Kori together, and I’m the farthest thing from a skating insider, but word seems to be getting out that she’s deficient on the tech side. The proof is in the pudding with several different skaters.

SP USN - 6 Quad skaters from 21, in RusN – 15 of 18. Respectively 9 and 18 camera jumps with varying degrees of success. With such a burden rhinestones a bird didn't take off. Generation of "buttercups &perineal demonstration" wilted in front of us.

FS performed Quads - Russia 14 from 16 skaters, USA 12 of 21. Russians performed 24 jumps, US – 20. While Chen & Zhou according 5Q, the rest 19 skaters - 10.

If it wasn't for the shiny zipper at the back, Nathan's FS costume could've looked something like what Jeremy Abbott wore for his 2012 LP. Modern and no frills, letting the skating do the talking and I wouldv'e been fine with that too.

It more reminded me of this costume of Evan Lysacek's https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P0jEce-n6m4/maxresdefault.jpg which can be seen in action here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0jEce-n6m4

And then a mix up of other costumes he had worn in the past, I believe this one was his original SP costume for the 2009-10 season and was told by the judges no chest is to be seen so Vera changed it to the design he wore at the Olympics. http://davecskatingphoto.com/photos/2009SkateAmerica/men/IMG_4085a.jpg


And then this was his proposed "Black Swan" SP costume for his 2014 Olympic run that was ended by injury https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to-uvo3XMx0 He skated it in SOI a year later.
