One of the strangest, and most unexpected, storylines of the Paris Olympic Games is the abrupt split of Andy Benesh and Miles Partain and their coach, Mike Placek. This past Wednesday, early in Benesh and Partain’s final round of pool play — an eventual three-set win over Brazil’s George Wanderley and Andre Loyola — NBC courtside reporter Dain Blanton mentioned on the broadcast that Placek hadn’t been present in the team meeting before the match. Blanton said that when he asked Benesh about Placek’s absence, the 6-foot-9 blocker said that they were moving in a different direction.
