Explain this then.

Easy. He's trying to get out of his Nike contract so he can go train with Dave at Speed River.

Ever hear of Jerry Schumacher?
Nic Bideau (coached Mottram, Benita Willis, Sonia O'Sullivan and now married to her) has 9 or 10 Australians alone, plus a few internationals that he works with in Europe.
I imagine there would be 1 or 2 coaches like this from a lot of countries.
Dave Scott Thomas does not cherry pick his athletes. Almost all 7 of the athletes were coached by Dave in University and stayed with him after they graduated. Nic Bideau, Jerry, etc...get these athletes after the majority of their development has already taken place.. Kudos to Dave..
Levins was coached by DST for about 5 minutes. I rather suspect he'd now be getting ready for Rio instead of hawking his tickets on twitter had he continued.
Wrong! He will only give his time to talented athletes. I know this for a fact. Yes is initial program was good but now he's picking up final product talented athletes and gets the credit.
Actually he didn't even know most of these 7 athletes when it was obvious they were potential Olympians. I ran with two of them. Not medalists, but making an Olympic team wasn't hard to predict.
If he coaches in college then to some extent he cherry picks his athletes...

Please list the 9 athletes. The Melbourne Track Club website only mentions 3.

False.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
