You make an excellent point about coaching in the NBA etc. Although Shaq/Kobe were superstars (in money terms far richer than any cricketer!) they had to abide by the coach's plan. Sadly, Indian sprtsmen dont go by that rule. Once someone becomes a superstar, they quit listening to the coach. Even a good coach is limited in what he can do with the "star" players. So, coaching Indian cricket is a travesty.
However, please rethink what you call the white-black crap. In general I do not believe in that crap, because I supervise several hundred poeple of all color. But I have noticed with this particular writer (Lavakari) in the past that he always defends white coaches and umpires against people from the subcontinent. My comment was directed towards that.
