You have to give both Ryan and Gulati credit for consistency. Solo whined and complained about being benched; Ryan allowed her zero tolerance and had her in essence excommunicated from the team so she couldn't sit the bench, eat, get the third-place medal, etc. with the team (I hear she's back in now.)
Gulati showed the same zero tolerance for Ryan playing his hunch with benching Solo and being blown out by Brazil and fired Ryan.
I think you can argue this one various ways -- but it wouldn't seem that anyone has acquitted themselves well in all of this.
