You can have a rowing crew or a rowing team but youcannot have a rowing crew team. "Crew" is defined stricty as a group of people working on a task and, in this case a group of people rowing together. "Team" is defined similarly. To say "crew team" is as ponderious and illinformed as saying "Crew crew" or "Team team". Not quite, the crew would be only the people who are in the boat, while the team could be all of the people associated with the boat including the coach, equipment manager, sponsor, mascot, cheerleaders, and so forth. So the crew team could be the crew and associated personnel. |
