As long as Teare remains a Nike athlete, I can understand that being on Nike approved team A or B can be fungible. Still, Teare is a big time pro and Jerry a big time coach, and you would think Teare wouldn’t make the move without first knowing the nitty gritty details of both the proposed training, event focus and race schedule (barring unforeseen circumstances like injury). Maybe that’s not how it works, but I find it surprising when the stakes are so high, especially for Cooper.
