It's Time to Empower Logie

Back on March 31, when the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) announced its big housecleaning, a move that included the choice of Bennett King to take over from Roger Harper as head coach, president Wes Hall made a huge deal about Gus Logie understudying the more qualified Aussie.

It all sounded so good at the time. There was a long term plan, we were told, for Logie to work as King's deputy and assume the job in a few years time. It didn't matter that the position of assistant coach was never advertised or that the Harper-Dujon tandem had an ugly ending. A loyal West Indian man was being groomed and we applauded the board for finally getting something right.
