KUALA LUMPUR: Outgoing Malaysian diving head coach Yang Zhuliang is not amused to be termed “old school” by the National Sports Institute (NSI).

After 10 years in charge of the national elite squad and producing a world champion and Olympic medallists, the Chinese’s contract was not renewed as NSI felt his techniques were “old school” after his rejection of sports science technology.
