Padgett blames Gay??

From the posted article, I don’t think it is fair to say that Padgett blames Gay as Kitkat’s heading suggests. It is equally plausible that Padgett is saying the mess wouldn’t have occurred if Patton and Gay could have practiced together. Even if the passer and receiver are competent, it is always useful for them to practice together, since each may have idiosyncracies. As a relay coach, I get very nervous when two runners who have never practiced together have to make an exchange in a big race. That being said, the passer should never just let go of the baton; it needs to be taken from him/her by the receiver.

Yes, exactly. That’s why I put the “question marks” after the header…
