"I won, but it's a game where you have a lot of thoughts. I hope the players have a sense of responsibility."
This is what Yoo Do-hoon (58), head coach of Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang, said. Despite the victory, he made unusual remarks about the team's complacent performance.
Jeong Kwan-jang beat Ulsan Hyundai Mobis 78-76 in the 2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball Regular League home game at Jeong Kwan-jang Arena in Anyang on the 9th.
With this victory, Jeong Kwan-jang recorded 20 wins and 10 losses, beating Wonju DB and retaking the second place alone. The absolute advantage of winning all four games against Hyundai Mobis this season continued.
However, the game did not meet coach Yoo Do-hoon's expectations. At one point in the third quarter, he led by 16 points, but later allowed a 3-23 score run by overusing urgent attacks and somewhat absurd turnovers, leading to an upset. The opponent could have won a relatively easy victory in the absence of the main forward Hammons, but after a rather complacent game, he was on the verge of losing.
In particular, Jeong Kwan-jang accumulated 61 points with 3:38 left in the third quarter, but suffered a serious performance difficulty with no goals until 6:48 left in the fourth quarter.
It was a game where neither the losing team nor the winning team could laugh.
After the game, coach Yoo Do-hoon came up with a stinging rebuke before the joy of victory. Coach Yoo Do-hoon said, "The coach said he was responsible for the results every time and did something wrong, but I think the players should think about the direction they should take responsibility now."
The biggest problem that coach Yoo Do-hoon pointed out is the loss of team identity. Coach Yoo Do-hoon said, "Our team is not an offensive team, but a defensive team. "If the offense doesn't work, it's a team that we endure with defense," he stressed. "There are times when the offense works well and sometimes it doesn't work, but defense must always keep the basics. However, in the first and third quarters today, he played defense that was not like Jeong Kwan-jang at all. "The transition defense and the overall defensive organization collapsed," he said.
Coach Yoo Do-hoon then strongly added, "There are parts that the coach should be responsible for, but I hope it will be an opportunity for the players to recognize what kind of team we are."
He also expressed regret over his ability to manage the match. Coach Yoo Do-hoon said, "There is a part where the attack does not work and the point is lost right away, and in that case, you have to get a foul or break the flow through an accurate attack. We lacked the clever part to take," he diagnosed.
He also shared his tactical concerns. Coach Yoo Do-hoon said, "We are using two guards and defensive guards from the outside, and we need to think about this in the future. There should also be a moment when you can shake your opponent inside when you can't shoot, he said. "Fortunately, I won, but it was a game where I could think about many parts again."
Hyundai Mobis coach Yang Dong-geun also expressed regret. He overturned the game with a fierce chase, but rather reprimanded him for the process of widening the score. Coach Yang Dong-geun said, "If we make seven turnovers in the third quarter, we can't win. It was a game that should not have been played by 16 points," he said.
