Director Jeon Chang-jin will take the helm of KCC for another year

"Coach Jeon Chang-jin had a lot of thoughts. Just as Jeon said, "Leave when you give a round of applause," Jeon was actually thinking about quitting after the end of this season. However, he managed to persuade him," Choi Hyung-gil, head coach of KCC, said on Sunday. "Coach Jeon who led the team to the championship will take the helm for another year."

Coach Jeon also said, "You're going to do it for another year," and he said, "Yes."

The contract period between coach Jeon and KCC is until the summer of 2025.

There were many twists and turns. Jeon said several times during the regular season and the playoffs, "This season will be the last. I will do my best to win the championship and then step down."

There was a reason. KCC had a lot of happening in the regular league. Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong were added to the existing Hurung Ra Gun-ah and Lee Seung-hyun. The nickname "Super Team" was naturally created.

However, performance was not good early in the regular season. Hur did his part, but Lee had the aftereffects of injury, and Ra Gun-ah also had a 'aging phenomenon.' Choi and Song repeatedly returned and left due to minor injuries.

KCC did not have the performance that I had expected. There were many unique players. New foreign player Alize Johnson also said, "I refuse to play."

Jeon felt a sense of responsibility. When his performance was not good, he heard "double humiliation" in the audience, and KCC fans protested against him.

After confirming his advance to the playoff championship, he said, "I didn't get good results in the regular league. It is natural to be criticized by fans in Busan where I am from. I was criticized as "XXX" in the stands and there were truck protests. I was shocked. It was all because I lacked skills. I also hated getting criticized when I got older. I thought, "I should let go of the baton now." That is why Jeon has repeatedly said, "This is the last time I will be the coach of this season."

However, a strong twist occurred. The cohesion of KCC players and their teamwork in the playoffs was brought to life perfectly. Jeon coined the new term "super rotation." He minimized his dependence on starting players. He did not allow players to play for more than 30 minutes. Instead, he strengthened the transition of offense and defense. He destroyed the opponent's defense with detailed tactics in the set offens. Heo Woong, Ra Gun-ah, and Song Kyo-chang, Choi Jun-yong, made full use of their strengths in the process. In the end, a combination of talent and teamwork of the KCC players was dramatic, and the result was a sweet victory. SK, the semi-finals DB, and KT at Champion were all unrivaled. While winning the 10 games it took to win, he allowed only two losses. It was overwhelming. He created a miracle that a fifth-ranked player in a regular league became a champion for the first time in Korea.

As KCC's performance changed, fans rewarded their apologies with coach Jeon Chang-jin's coffee truck. There was also a witty three-line poem apology under his name. "I'm really sorry (Chang) Jin," he wrote.

Furthermore, more than 10,000 spectators entered Sajik Indoor Stadium in Busan, KCC's new home, in the third and fourth rounds of championship matches. Jeon's introductory remarks were greeted with thunderous cheers.

Immediately after winning the championship title, he said, "I've experienced a lot of championship matches, but I've never seen a fan cheer like this. I think Busan fans are amazing. I gained pride that not only baseball exists in Busan, but basketball also exists." After all, Jeon changed his mind due to KCC's playoff twist drama and fans' support. KCC's 'super rotation' will continue next season.
