Is there a caretaker coach??? Are SAHA advertising the position or are they just appointing someone under wraps??? Think the community has a right to know!!!

How in hell will the players manage all the different styles of coaching and how can they feel any allegiance to any coach who may be here today and gone tomorrow. Come on SAHA this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.  Seems to me that you just dont want to get involved in another Jenny King situation where you couldnt get rid of her despite wishing to cause of her long term contract.   Make the right choices and you shouldnt need to worry about avoiding any contracts.   At the very least one year contract would need to be minimum renewable annualy to show some committment to the coach.

How on earth can they have any job security or a sustainable income? Who is going to want to coach under those conditions? So they must give up any regular job they may have so that they can coach our hockey elite... but wait, they aren't guarenteed to be appointed the next time??? Imagine Peter Devilliers only getting paid per event for the Bok rugby team!!!!! Not a chance   What a joke… our National coaches will only get paid per event.

Is this so? Also it is quite sad that the players have to pay to play for their country, bearing this in mind how can anybody call the shots over them like SASCOC for example. We can only hope that things improve quickly and drasticly over the short term or our lovely sport will be greatly harmed.
