So, Chuang is 99
The rule is that if in singles competitions, players are allowed to ignore the coach and in team competitions, coaches/teams are allowed to override the player.
Where is this rule listed?
and LYJ didn't ignore the call, it is very different if he ignored it. He rejected it by shaking his head when the coach asked him about it. There was no call, else once if it is called and umpires accepted, it will be used up.
This asking-rejecting has happened quite a few times already
Of course, it is the coach's right to listen to the player. But sometimes, a coach knows better than the player. Well, they are still friends and that is what matters I guess.
well, how they want to work, I guess they have talked about it before.
I personally have some disagreement with some things in the Lin camp, just like I have on ITTF, CNT, WTT etc. but the way they handle time out calling to me is a non issue. I would also have called time out at 10-8 or 10-9, but I am not lin and he felt it wasn't necessary at that time and his coach accepted.
Both of them needs to live on with that decision.
but to claim no time out was called by the coach, is very misleading and of course certain people will love to make use of not knowing the truth to lead certain view points.
One head coach told me today, when Lin was progressing, he is attacking every player in front of him.
now he is at the top, everyone is attacking him and on top of that, attacks will come from all angles and even off the table.
Lin would at times train at this head coaches base even 3 weeks ago. Lin trained at the base since he was 10 years old, so this head coach knows him very well.
PS here is Mr Coach and his cap if any one else wants to make fun of him.
PS, Lin's previous coach was in the hall that day too, haha
