You've hit a sore point with me. Many times I've requested press credentials at American meets for GymnasticsCoaching. Invitationals, no problem. But if USAG or NCAA is involved, they are very suspicious. Or simply say NO. I also learned that it's often better not to have credentials as the media has hundreds of restrictions on what you can post. Ouch. You’ve hit a sore point with me.
