Smith is unproven in the marathon. I think we can all agree Rupp under Smith has been mostly a horrible fit.
Haas has proven to be a good marathon coach. Lokedi has progressed nicely over the years and has been a consistent podium in the Majors. Coaching has something to do with that.
If presumably Kelati is going to stay with Haas, then this where things get wacky and borderline unethical. Is Haas an agent that fairly represents all his athletes, is he coach now for all brands, or is he the director and coach for the UA team? Which is it? Any athlete represented by him has to question this now. Where is his focus and loyalty?
