And let's be fair, I'm sure McKeever isn't that way toward her entire team.  I'm sure she's only this way toward the lower 25% or so of her team...the "least favorites," so to speak.  The top 25% will overlook that behavior because McKeever will treat them with golden gloves.  The middle 50% gets to sit uncomfortably as they balance their own need to curry favor and perform with their sense of courage/fairness.  Those are random percentages, but the concept holds true.  It's generally the minority of athletes who are hurt severely, and everyone else just lives with it.
