yeah you responded to me saying I didn't know when arnold would be eligible to compete within the decent rules with an anecdote about someone without a confounding weigh in blowing up over thanksgiving.
I think their hands would be pretty well tied if Ferrari was beating arnold, and arnold was openly saying he wants to go down. They could have claimed they were doing what best for the team without those details.
I think it was the reluctant decision of the coaching staff. They waited till they knew that Ferrari was their best guy at 184, at which point their hands were tied.
well its an ultra well coached team against a higher tier team that could be described as steady/complacent, it only hedges towards bonus when the well coached team's stud shows up.
