But Perry Crosswhite wants his team to keep a lid on their frustrations and resist any temptation to criticise local organisors.
"Malaysia doesn't have a lot of experience with major sports events," Crosswhite told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"A lot of things can go wrong and I'm sure they will.
"But the Malaysians are working very hard at getting it right and I don't want us to complain about every little thing that goes wrong."
Kuala Lumpur is the first Asian city chosen to host the Commonwealth Games, which date back to 1930.
This year's Games, which will be held from September 11-21, are also the biggest to date after the introduction of team sports such as rugby, cricket, netball and hockey.
Crosswhite said Malaysian officials had done a great job in preparing the capital for the games but he was certain there would still be a number of logistical problems.
He said a number of venues had not been properly tested and the transport system was inadequate.
He also said that while Kuala Lumpur was likely to be free of the smog that blanketed the city a year ago, the extreme heat and humidity would be a major concern to competitors.
"The basic issue for us is that we are in the same boat as everyone else," Crosswhite said.
"Things aren't always going to be perfect but I don't want us to use that as an excuse.
"We are guests in that country and we've just got to get on with it as best we can."
