KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 — It is more practical and suitable for Badminton Association of Malaysia doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky to be on the court training the players, rather than receiving reports from other coaches, says former national player Roslin Hashim.
He said this was because the doubles expert from Indonesia would perform best when working hands-on, as he had previously successfully guided Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong to win gold at the 2006 Asian Games, besides helping to improve the performance of the Thai squad as its head coach, including guiding the Uber Cup team to reach the final for the very first time in 2018.
“This means he may not be on the court to train our players, and based on my understanding, Rexy does not seem to have a coaching function, because all the coaches are under him. If so, it is a waste to bring Rexy to BAM,” he said when contacted by Bernama today. Roslin, who won the men’s singles gold in the 2001 SEA Games, also questioned BAM’s move to restructure the coaching line-up, as it only served to complicate things further by dividing the posts to evaluate players into two.
