But as the CEO he needs to draw a line in the sand so that the people of the region knows where he stands.
I agree with nats.

Mr. CEO, while you're at it, please end the wars in the middle east and Ukraine. Also please find a cure for cancer. And why not reverse climate change too?

What did you expect from an administration that advertised a head coach opening and listed a Level III coaching certificate as a job requirement, but then proceeded to hire a head coach that did not even have a Level I certificate?

The Head of cricket just finished his MBA, and he, without experience, is given the job.

I'm just pointing out that when a coaching appointment is rooted in tribalism one should expect tribalism to continue in even larger doses.
And I actually think Sammy has done a decent job so far ...

Didn't Shallow said at the time that there is a different set of criteria that does not necessarily include being a Level 3 coach

I don't remember the different set of criteria that you referenced, but I remember the published set of criteria that included having a Level III coaching certificate.

Thanks for sharing that article. I never saw it.
"There's a different set of criteria that you know don't necessarily need to be a Level 3 [coach]," Shallow said. "It's ideal, but when we go through the different assessments, he certainly qualified to be the head coach, which is why he was shortlisted in the first place and then he was interviewed by a panel of five."
So if a Level III certificate is ideal and you don't have to be a Level III coach to get the job, why put out a set of job requirements that required a Level III coaching certificate? Shallow was talking out of both sides of his mouth

Most job descriptions list an ideal set of criteria
Sort of like wishing for a unicorn
Unicorns don’t exist but that doesn’t stop employers wishing for them
Very few applicants hit all the listed criteria
Ultimately, the successful candidate is often, not always, the one who impresses the employer the most
Depending on need, sometimes the employer selects the “least bad” option

The only problem is that the candidate selected by CWI did not even have a Level I coaching certificate. I suspect that every Top 10 team international coach has some level of coaching certification, and most likely Level III. The Sammy selection was a homeboy pic, plain and simple.
Sarwan Wuestions Sammy's Selection as Coach Over Shiv
The decision on the coach was made by Jimmy Adams (CWI's director of cricket), Enoch Lewis, (Chairman of cricket committee), Oneka Martin-Bird, (HR manager), Debra Coryat-Patton (Independent director), and (CWI president) Kishore Shallow.
Posting on his Facebook page Sarwan said, “Twenty-two persons/coaches were interviewed for the white ball coaching position. However, two were shortlisted. The big question is why were the other twenty (20) persons/coaches not made known to CWI directors, and why is this a big secret and is being kept away from the cricketing public? In the interest of transparency, those names should have been made available, at least to directors of CWI.”
Sarwan quizzed the qualification of Sammy who he says has little coaching qualifications whilst adding that Shivnarine Chanderpaul has a level III coaching certificate.

Absolutely.......
Selection of any individual in any administrative body... Transparency and due process of law in appointment is paramount ......
First...an advertisement for all eligible candidates.
Sets of eligibility criteria.....is laid down......so that individual must have requisite qualification....
If there can be selection beyond the " eligibility criteria", it must be laid down as "Exception " clause in the Advertisement itself.
Mr.Shallow or the Administration did not specify anything in the advertisement.....it was only after Sammy was selected, Shallow made the comments.Sammy selection was totally bad in law...can be challenged by unsuccessful candidates.
How Sammy has actually done is totally different aspects....
2024-12-24 04:21:38
Well for those who feel Sammy has not done a bad job, imagine if we had a qualified coach? DWL

Have you checked our T20 ranking recently, notwithstanding our recent results?
Regarding insularity, shortly after being appointed captain I remember West Indies going on a tour with 7 or 8 of captain CHG's Jamaican friends in the squad. Kraigg selects his buddy Warrican. Polly selected a few of his Trini buddies when he was captain. And now Sammy is selecting Charles and Fletcher, although I think Charles has a legit claim to a T20 spot based on merit. There are other examples for sure.

First, CWI is run by a bunch of jokers who are clueless how to properly run an organization, as evidenced by the process that led to Sammy's selection as coach. Second, Sammy has done reasonably well despite his lack of qualifications. He was preceded by a number of qualified Level III coaches who got worse results. Third, claims of insularity are a fact of life that will never go away because insularity is a subjective concept in the eyes of the beholder. And fourth, by way of example, if a country like Jamaica chose to withdraw from West Indies cricket in protest against "rampant insularity," the cussing and claims of insularity among Jamaican cricket fans will simply shift from insularity based on passport to insularity based on parish of origin, high school attended or cricket club membership. It's just a human thing.

Yeah, but that makes it right? You can say in hindsight blah blah about Sammy, his selection is what is being debated, and does his performance to date warrants a promotion?

Pybus position wasn't advertised and neither was the position created specifically for him.....
Desmond Haynes was right. The West Indies opening great had publicly questioned the process behind Richard Pybus' return to cricket in the West Indies as high performance director - a post newly created by Cricket West Indies (CWI). The much-travelled coach returns just over a year after he had left as team director.
Pybus' first stint with CWI, which ended in January 2017 after three years, was a controversial one. It was Pybus who made it mandatory for a player to participate in the domestic first-class and one-day cricket tournaments to qualify for selection for West Indies. Many senior players vehemently opposed the policy and instead opted to solely operate in overseas Twenty20 leagues.
that dumb selection policy was instituted by this dunce
It would be great to ask the [CWI] president [Dave Cameron] about this appointment and when was this position advertised," Haynes posted on his Facebook account. The answer, ESPNcricinfo can confirm, is that it wasn't: the post was not advertised and Cameron did have a direct hand in Pybus' appointment, without interviewing any candidates.

it is not the first time that this sort of poor corporate governance has taken place in WI cricket and Bajans were certainly very supportive of cameron's trail of chaos.

Seasons greetings to you and yours from this bajan jumpy, but don't get me started about Tricky Dick Pybus. He played a crucial role in that India tour pullout. Behind the scenes he was in India bad-talking the West Indies players to the BCCI and trying to get the BCCI to threaten to cancel the IPL contracts of the West Indies players if they pulled out of that tour. But Dhoni was sharing all of Tricky Dick's behind-the-scenes maneuverings with his buddy Bravo, which only served to inflame the situation.

Where did I say it was right? But I now see that your problem is more with the demotion of Coley than with the selections of Fletcher and Charles. I am still mystified by Coley's dismissal.
Pass the parish crap long time, everyone knows that the better players come from the rural clubs here a Yaad.
That still leaves club and school. And I did not even touch on socio-economic status, skin color, etcetera. The list goes on ...
