Indian Badminton coach is surprised over the new rules and regulations of the game.
World Federation’s proposal to reduce on-court coaching and tweak the scoring system has left international coaches a confused lot with the likes of Pullela Gopichand and Kenneth Jonassen questioning the very logic of such a move.
Chief national coach Pullela Gopichand said he doesn’t have any idea how the on-court reduction of coaching would be implemented and neither does understand the logic behind it.
“I don’t know what are the supposed changes, I haven’t seen the detailed draft, so I really don’t know. I think there was a time when there was no on-court coaching and then they added it. Now again they want to reduce it. So, I don’t understand the logic behind it,”
Denmark’s chief coach Kenneth Jonassen, who guided Viktor Axelsen to world championship gold and the world no. 1 ranking, believes on-court coaching is a unique feature of badminton and gives fans an interesting insight.
