Not so fast, pls hold your horses.
Rexy was appointed in mid 2005. It is now coming to 5 years. The year 2008 saw Rexy in his 3rd year with BAM. Now, what has changed since then for the current team to be weaker than in 2008?
I think BAM has every right to demand some silverware from their men's doubles. Five long years with only one high prize AE in 2007, but great disappointments in both the World Championship and the Olympics.
Don't read too much about contract terms. A coach can be contracted to 2011. Depending on the terms of the contract, a sidelined coach might still be paid for doing nothing or he can be paid off to leave early.
There were some comments from former national player James Selvaraj criticizing the makeup of the new BAM coaching and training committee for not including more ex-players, although Rexy, Rashid, and Sun Chenhua are in the committee. I think James is out of step with timing. He should have criticized why action was not taken earlier, not the makeup members of the new committee for lacking enough past players. I am glad James is not in any responsible position in the BAM or in any organization. We want strategic thinkers and action men who can think ahead and take corrective action before the rot sets in, not people who complain about the percent of ex-players versus non-players in the committee.
The fault of BAM was not to crack the whip earlier. Now so much time has been lost. No one is indispenasble, and a great coach cannot live on his laurels after just one initial success if he under-delivers for the next 3 years.
whaoh that was long..well, i suppose that's why tkh comes in..
