As a result, the U.S. will go to Athens with its youngest squad ever (average age 23.6 years) and one that, judging from its struggles during the exhibition season, is hardly a lock for the gold medal.] This is going to be a huge challenge because we do have young players, ...

In Perth, we were averaging around five seconds from challenge to display. What we found in observing and also players recognize this, I was actually in some conversations I had with Taylor Dent, he noticed that this technology actually speeded up play rather than slowed play down. There was less reason or no reason to argue with the chair umpire. The players, once they saw the call, just went back and played.
