Jeong Kwan-jang appointed Yoo Do-hoon as the new head coach with a contract period of 3 years on the 29th' is officially announced.
Coach Yoo Do-hoon, who retired as an active coach in 2000, started his leadership career as a coach for Daejeon Hyundai (currently KCC). He moved to LG in 2005 and took over as the head coach of Anyang KT&G (currently Jeong Kwan-jang) in the 2006-2007 season.
Coach Yoo, who implanted sticky basketball to KT&G, put him in the semifinal playoff of the 2007-2008 season. At that time, Joo Hee-jung and Marquin Chandler played strong transition basketball. The defense was also sticky.
Coach Yoo, who was recognized for his leadership, took the helm of Incheon Electronic Land (currently the Korea Gas Corporation) in 2009. In the 2018-2019 season, E-Land led E-Land to its first championship, and E-Land advanced to the playoffs several times.
When E-Land was acquired by Daegu Gas Corporation, he also served as the first head coach.
However, he broke up with Gas Corporation after the 2022-2023 season. At that time, the Korea Gas Corporation operated under the system of general director Shin Sun-woo and general manager Lee Min-hyung, but there were conflicts in the process of dismantling the system.
The Korea Gas Corporation replaced manager Yoo Do-hoon with one year left in the contract period and said it would not pay the remaining term salary. Eventually, in August 2023, he filed a lawsuit against the Korea Gas Corporation for damages, and eventually won the case.
Eventually, after a two-year absence, coach Yoo returned to Anyang, where he began his coaching career 17 years ago.
"The appointment takes into account the reconstruction of director Jeong's strong and sticky defense, the growth of newcomers, and the experience of abundance," said Jeong Kwan-jang.
Coach Yoo's appointment is in the professional basketball world 'Fresh'. In the meantime, he has appointed head coaches who lack leadership experience, including DB coach Kim Joo-sung, former Sono coach Kim Tae-sul, and Samsung coach Kim Hyo-beom.
However, it has not been successful. Rather, there was a phenomenon in which the team's problems could not be solved due to lack of experience. 'Front basketball is too muchThere was also some criticism that '
It means that the intention is to make the front desk's breath very strong by bringing in an easy-to-handle young coach.
However, Jeong Kwan-jang was appointed against this trend by bringing in coach Yoo Do-hoon, who has a thick bone from the KBL. It's kind of another form of experiment. Major players such as Byun Joon-hyung, Park Ji-hoon and Kim Jong-kyu of Jeong Kwan-jang are still competitive. On top of that, he has new players with abundant potential such as Han Seung-hee, Kim Kyung-won, Park Jung-woong, and So Jun-hyuk. He also performed a miracle of advancing to the semifinals from the bottom of this season. This is why I wonder what conclusion the Yu Do-hoon test will draw.
