CHENNAI: In one of the first full-length interviews Graham Reid had given after taking charge as senior men’s coach of the Indian hockey team, he was clear in what was expected of him and what he set out to do. “I want to take Indian hockey back to where it belongs,” he had told this daily while sitting in a coffee shop in Bhubaneswar in June 2019.
