That is either untrue, or real misleading. The Blues fly with a different
purpose, keep the aircraft on trajectory. When they are flying a knife
edge,
they are hardly coordinated, as with many other maneuvers.
A 1g barrel roll can be done, but the required trajectory of the aircraft
is
not going to be one that is necessarily eye pleasing for ground
demonstration purposes.
Actually, when the Blues or anyone else is in knife edge, they are indeed
in coordinated flight. You hold the aircraft in knife edge with top rudder
and forward neutral stick; this control pressure combination has to be
perfectly coordinated to maintain knife edge.
You are confusing coordinated with meaning the control pressures must be
complementary which is a common mistake often made.
The first lesson we teach in aerobatics is that "coordinated" has
absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the controls not being crossed.
Actually, any good flight instructor will teach this to a new primary
student during the first hour of dual :-)

Then define coordinated.
