well he probably has to spend a lot less time on people like Victor who are old pros and are picking their own music and choreography and making decisions for themselves. The off-ice planning time must be reduced significantly if they already have a training regimen/practice schedule that's been working. Conversely younger skaters or skaters entering a new division, would need more of the attention.

I'm sure Brian Orser is an outlier, but then again, Yuzuru and Javier don't even train in the same place anymore, so he can't be spending that much time on them.
