is an RTC activity. I don't know if VT supplements the RTC in anyway (that's above my pay grade), but this is why donations to the RTC is so critical.

But the entire VT staff is also tied to SERTC in some way lol

in the VT Corporate Research Center, which has spun-off from his/her research — or when they do consulting on the side.

and by winning the US Open the RTC athletes(Bo and Ryan) gained funding from USA Wrestling to take the trip among other benefits. Walz was there as an RTC/Club Coach technically. In reality we know he's a VT coach but I believe all of our coaches are also RTC/Club Coaches. To answer the question - J'Den Cox is the director of the USA U20 team running the camps/trip and there are other appointed coaches to oversee the trip but guys bring their personal coaches as long as they're certified with USA Wrestling. For example at U20 Trials Seidel had Marsteller (his club coach) and Frayer in his corner. Bo had his dad and Frayer. Probably will see those same pairings at worlds.

Does one have priority over all wrestling issues..... prep, strategy, "brick" throwing, etc??

US Coach responsibilities are the development camp and logistics. I'm sure they're lightly involved in strategy and prep but it isn't like a team practice or anything when they go to the tournament, they just set up facilities and let the individuals work out with their coaches as they see fit.
