(Source: Express Archive) Roelant Oltmans was the high performance director when Terry Walsh got the boot in November 2014. The German was India’s first tryst with a foreign coach in a sport where eight Olympic gold medals were supposed to mean the country needed no outside help. Van Ass took the Dutch team to an Olympic silver medal while Oltmans took his home country’s men’s and women’s teams to the next level. That they all departed with unfinished business, and more than a few complaints, shows that the problem with Indian hockey may be organic in nature.
