They are not avoiding indoors because of Cooper. That is absurd.
Brazier needs the work. No show. Hoppel has won the WC indoors. No show. No need to mention more. The guy was right, they’re all laying back to watch Cooper and figure things out. It’s absurd to suggest otherwise. That said, I think Cooper would be better off skipping indoors, but who knows what his contract requires.
They are not avoiding Cooper. It makes no sense. What would be the point? That is not the way these guys think. Have you ever run at a high level? This is just nonsense.

Don’t buy it. Brazier was lucky to have eacaped with the win at Nats as Cooper was closing much faster after having charged by Hoppel, Hoey, Miller and the rest. I agree with the poster saying they stepped back. They probably wanted to see if Cooper would improve, which he has since indoors last year. That presents a huge problem to these guys, including some ego bruising.

On the surprising absences:
Bryce: the two races (1:17/1:47) were pretty alarming. If he came healthy and trained for those, it’s probably a good time to regroup and figure out what’s going wrong…
Brazier: I think this one’s a little more simple. Running indoors is physically demanding and he was on pretty limited buildup. Not at the necessary level to break 1:44 and be competitive globally, so why force it really?
Miller: Was supposed to run and then scratched his opener, gotta be an injury

They’re edgy about facing an 11th grader who basically soloed 1:44 with little emphasis on speedwork so far. It’s that simple. It must be creepy in some ways. It might not be them so much as it could be their coaches trying (deperately) to figure out what to do.
