Just trying to understand the process NECSAC recruiting (swimming)

Why is it shady and how is gaming anything? Coaches have limited slots … if they use them on a recruit, they are well within their rights to ensure the recruit is coming. There are no do-overs for the athlete or the coach. If a coach rides with a kid until the bitter end, only to find out that the recruit was using him/her as back-up and goes with their first choice (if it works out), they’re kinda screwed for that cycle.
