Gotta say that coaching phrase that every coach gives:
RUN THROUGH THE TAPE
I'm trying hard to not make any disparaging comments about anybody, but it really looked like Merritt made a "rookie mistake" that someone with his pedigree should not be making. It looked to me like he really didn't know that Santos was as close as he was, and he shut down 1-2 strides early--and there was a little finger pointing by Santos as he went by.
What were you watching?
Merritt did not shut it down.
He ran through the line and even leaned.
He just got beat, that's all.
