(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Eui-jin = ‘Magic Kid’ commentator Kim Tae-sul is expected to take the helm of Goyang Sono, a professional basketball team, as the successor to coach Kim Seung-gi, who resigned amid controversy over player assault.
According to the basketball world on the 24th, Sono was negotiating with Commissioner Kim the day before for the new head coach position. Sono, who proposed the position of director the day before, is understood to be coordinating the details with Commissioner Kim.
Commissioner Kim, who was nicknamed ‘Magic Kid’ during his active years and played as a top guard in professional basketball, retired in 2021 and began his leadership career last year by working as a basketball coach at his alma mater, Yonsei University.
However, I have never led a team as a coach in a middle school, high school, or college team, let alone a professional team.
In fact, Sono’s unusual move to bring in Kim, a ‘novice leader’, is interpreted as an attempt to improve the team atmosphere and image of the club, which had darkened as the controversy over coach Kim Seung-gi’s assault on players arose.
The problem is that Commissioner Kim is currently a member of the KBL Finance Committee.
At the request of the Sono club, the KBL Finance Committee must look into the incident of coach Kim Seung-gi’s assault on a player and decide whether to discipline him or not. This is an area that needs to be sorted out between KBL, the club, and the parties involved.
Born in 1984, Commissioner Kim becomes the youngest director upon appointment. He is younger than Seoul Samsung’s coach Kim Hyo-beom (born in 1983).
He is one year older than the oldest active player, Ham Ji-hoon (Hyundai Mobis), and will become the same age at the end of the year after Ham Ji-hoon’s birthday.
Commissioner Kim has no coaching experience yet, so he has never revealed his basketball philosophy as a head coach.
However, as a commentator, if you take into account comments that mainly praise the guard when he provides a timely pass to the big man or when he operates stably without making mistakes rather than making a bold attack, there is a possibility that he emphasizes traditional basketball as opposed to a novel image.
It was only two days after coach Seung-gi Kim resigned that it became known through the media that Commissioner Kim and Sono were discussing the position of head coach.
Coach Kim Seung-gi is known to have thrown a towel while reprimanding a Sono player in the locker room during a regular league away game against SK in Seoul on the 10th.
The player was hit in the face with a towel.
After its own investigation, the Sono club requested the KBL to hold a financial committee on the 20th.
In addition to the club’s request, a report regarding this issue was also received at the KBL Clean Basket Center, and KBL is now investigating the facts.
