Hockey World Cup: Post debacle, it's time to fix accountability
India hockey coach Graham Reid quits after poor World Cup show; analytical coach Clark, scientific adviser Pemberton resign tooBHUBANESWAR: Hiring and firing coaches is nothing new. In fact, that's the only constant in Indian hockey. Less than 24 hours after the conclusion of the FIH World Cup, Indian hockey's off-field magnum opus began on Monday with the 'resignation' of chief coach Graham Reid and his team including analytical coach Greg Clark and scientific advisor Mitchell David Pemberton.

First it was England, then Australia and finally Belgium. That's how World Cups are won. Cliched it may sound, but you have to beat the best to be the best.
