Getting Old Boy practice after resistance dropped (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtaining

'getting' is the definition.
(obtaining is a kind of getting)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for obtaining that I've seen is " Getting".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
