Get real. The time Rupp just ran is almost a full minute behind the world's best and there are already about 30 Africans that have run faster than Rupp (and those people are going to get faster, too).
You can look at Webb and see that it has taken all the time up to the last 2 weeks for ANY Africans (all 2 of them) run faster than Alan did 2 years ago, and you can say if Webb can just get back to where he was 2 years ago....
But at 10000 its not even close.
Coach D, you are one of the regular Stupids here.
Did you take into account how many races Rupp has run this year?
Did you take into account, that oh, Rupp's heals and knees were low until the last 600?
He was running an easy pace run.
He still has almost 2 more months to go in his season.
He played it smart.
More season and lots of career ahead.
