In contrast, the Chinese Basketball Association has had the same foriegn coach since the '04 Olympics (Jonas Kaslauskas) - and then before that, Del Harris. Your little conspiracy theories and attempt to make everything politicized is tiresome. Sometimes coaches do bad jobs. Dozens of Chinese coaches have been fired. Dozens of foreign coaches have not been fired. </p> http://shanghaiist.com/2008/07/21/soccer_coached_yanked_three_weeks_b.php#comment-1412903 http://shanghaiist.com/2008/07/21/soccer_coached_yanked_three_weeks_b.php#comment-1412903 Comments Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:07:24 +0800 <p>Fire the foreign coaches who built the teams so that Chinese coaches can take the credit, and if the Chinese teams don't do well, the damage done by the foreign coaches was too great to repair before the games.</p>
