Yes, he runs very strenuous workouts during the summer. He is on staff year round just like the rest of the coaches.

A proper spot, which is taught and stressed, would alleviate dangers while benching.

About a week after that happened, I heard Coach Cochran speak, and when he took questions, someone asked him about that. He said that he never took his hand off the bar.

Agreed, but I'd recommend at least 4 spots for 600 on the bar.

The term 'proper' differentiates depending on the weight. IMO, anymore than 3 people on a spot is too many. (1 person directly behind the lifter (the primary spotter), and 2 "emergency spotters" on each side of the bar). Obviously in a "max" lift no one would touch the bar in order for it to be a good lift.
