Frank Carroll questioned Rachael's ability to compete. Of course, that was when Mirai lost out on a spot on the World team to Rachael. Now that Mirai actually bombed on her own at Nationals, Frank Carroll is probably not questioning it since it wouldn't do any good for his skater.
This is probably how it happened: RF gets 12th at Worlds --> Frank Carroll --> Phil Hersh --> Everyone else --> USFSA => whole chain of anger and confusion
Now: Alissa gets 22nd --> that's just sad --> speculation
People got upset with Rachael camp because she skated with injury and did not let USFS know, she should have withdrawn and let alternate go to Worlds. Alissa got 22nd because of something else, she did not declare any injury, people assumed that she did not do well because of her mental game, etc.... It could be the same scenario as Rachael but her camp did not disclose any injury....I guess USFS should ASK lots of questions,...what went wrong...and..how could it be this bad...
