I feel it is imperative for any Head Coach to
at least have played professional cricket. I couldn't find anything in cricinfo about Fountain's first-class career

To gain the respect of the players at this level a coach needs knowledge of the professional aspect of being a cricketer and their mind set. It doesn't make it impossible but it is a very large hole in a coach's understanding if they have never even taken the field as a player.
