India's chief hockey coach Terry Walsh resigns over "pay dispute"

India's chief hockey coach Terry Walsh has resigned from his post because of a "pay dispute". His resignation comes barely three weeks after guiding the Indian team to a historic gold medal in the Asian Games in Incheon. Under Walsh, India had also won a silver in Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The 60-year-old Australian, himself a noted Olympian, submitted his resignation in a dramatic fashion on Tuesday, saying that he was finding it difficult to adjust to the decision making style of the sporting bureaucracy in the country. In a letter sent to SAI Director General Jiji Thomson on October 19, Walsh said that he tenders his resignation as the Chief Coach of Indian Men's Hockey Team, effective as per the details of his contract or as agreed to by all concerned parties. Walsh also said that he would not like to continue with the top job on account of constant travelling with the team.
