Wow I will try to answer to some of you at once.
Well, the common thing between Buyanova and Tutberidze would be that they both restrict their students in terms of diet. (I am sure almost every coach in fs has to do this, but just those 2 have been vocal about it recently) Other than that, Buyanova's ladies tend to have major UR problems, whereas Eteri's girls pretty much always rotate their jumps and they almost never pop a jump. Also, the whole packaging of team Tutberidze is always there and they impress not just with jumps but with artistry. So, yes, Buyanova's method is questionable in terms of whether it is successful because I don't see how she could have improved Evgenia's technique.
I am not an Brian uber, I also think that he shows a lot of flaws in terms of Evgenia's trainings and strategy for the season. Honestly, I don't believe that he could change her jumping technique, however, I see that despite the throwbacks he improved some aspects of her skating. If we compare him to Bouyanova as an option, I can't agree that he's worse than her. :noshake:
I am sorry but I personally don't agree with this. Eteri might get some support from the federation, but honestly this support appears to come too late (maybe from last season?) for the success, she has already brought out. Her potential showed back in 2014-2015 with Lipnitskaya at the Olympics, and Sachanovich and Medvedeva on the junior circuit. Ever since, with each season towards 2018 her girls were on the top because they had the most difficult layouts. And they were artistic. I think that skaters like Konstantinova and her coach have much more federation support than team Tutberidze Brian Orser said himself that he has no clue how Eteri's students manage to always win. She must be doing something different and more efficient than other coaches.
The thing is - Eteri's method is better for winning but as you say - it doesn't mean good technique. Still, those skaters get the scores for their jumps. This is a flaw of the judging system, not of the coaching team.
Don't you see a contradiction praising Eteri's methods first and naming them questionable some lines after.
Buyanova is not an obviously negative case for me..

It is not obvious. Eteri has the more powerful federation behind her, and what is obvious is that Russian ladies get a huge Russian bonus, getting better scores. But those scores do not make Eteri's training method better compared to Japanese, Canadian, etc. coaches. She's better in some things, and worse in others.

As for jumps quality, I find it ludicrous that a multi-year World Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist has to re-learn her jumps to finally improve her technique - that doesn't speak too high of Eteri prior training, especially for an older (post-pub) body, IMHO.
