Skip Kenney made my brother's life miserable when he was on the Stanford men's team in the 1980's. (Not my brother who sometimes posts here). My brother was a walk-on on a team with multiple Olympians. He actually went to the USA Olympic trials 3 times and the Canadian trials once, so he was not some below average swimmer. But for Stanford at that time he was not elite, and the coaches of that era felt it necessary to belittle those at the end of the bench. McKeever sounds like a relic of those days. There is no reason and no excuse for that type of coaching.
