Bryan expressed concerns about USTA Player Development, calling it bureaucratic and authoritarian, citing the U10 mandate requiring all children ten and under (regardless of ability) to compete on miniature courts using lightweight "green dot" balls .
[5] Bryan mentions as harmful to American junior tennis the increasing number of NCAA college scholarships being awarded to foreign players and the attempt to nationalize coaching, rather than supporting existing player-coach relationships in the private sector.
In the same letter, Bryan calls for increased spending transparency by the USTA, stating that the salaries of Patrick McEnroe and his staff should be made public.
