As a glider pilot / instructor I can sympathise. A key exercise for students is the secondary effect of rudder close to the stall...... on a glider / sailplane this will give little yaw but considerable roll.

This accident had a quick and severe roll angle and pitch break, and I would have to see the tapes to see what happened first. I am not sure any IP could have recovered other than Yeager or his clone. OTOH, considering the IP's back ground, he may not have been exposed to many departures, especially in the U-2.
I agree it was an IP's worst nightmare. And I throw a nickel on the grass.
