I doubt it. It's not like Burke and Team USA have any ill-will towards Ryan. What was thought to be a more private straight-shooting conversation was directly quoted. They'll make their decisions based on who they believe will be the best player to help them win just like they did before....this time maybe without Burnside in the room.
On Ryan's side, sure he's understandably upset for missing the selection and having the things said about him printed. But I'm sure he would happily join them in Sochi if asked. And he'll have something to prove about his intensity too, almost a bit to storyesque if that happens.
