Other side of it, the counter, is Oltmans was way past his shelf life. IND extracted as much as it could from him - as HPD & coach. #hockey

Oltmans came in 2013 as a high performance director. Took over as coach after Van Ass was sacked. Longest serving foreigner in India #hockey https://t.co/m0T0GBsXSn

I know for a fact some players weren't happy with Oltmans's ways. Told me as much. But no one wanted to be on record, for obvious reasons
