Veteran basketball coach Yoo Do-hoon has returned to the Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters after a two-year break. The 58-year-old coach first took the helm of the Anyang KT&G Kites, now called the Red Boosters, in 2006, leading the team to the second round of playoffs in the 2007-08 season. With a decorated track record, having taken his teams to the playoffs in 13 of 16 seasons with the Red Boosters and Incheon Electroland Elephants, now called Daegu Kogas Pegasus, Yoo is rejoining a struggling squad with a fresh mindset. The Red Boosters finished ninth on the 10-team table in the 2023-24 season and hovered near the bottom of the standings before sneaking into the playoffs in sixth place in the 2024-25 season. Yoo's top priority has been building relationships with his players, many of whom are more than 30 years younger than him. He has also changed his coaching style, emphasizing communication over confrontation. The Red Boosters will start the 2025-26 season with their first game against the Goyang Sono Skygunners in Anyang, Gyeonggi on Saturday. Yoo is determined to lead the team to the playoffs and ultimately win a championship, which has eluded him throughout his coaching career.
