“I am truly honored to be the head coach of the Hiroshima Dragonfly for the 2022-23 season. Players, team staff and club officials are working hard to make the next season even better. This season, thanks to the wonderful city of Hiroshima and the people, I had a great year, and I can’t wait to work with this city as the head coach of the Hiroshima Dragonfly. No! Let’s go Dragonflies !! “
[Comment by Shuji Okazaki General Manager]
“We are pleased to inform you that we have decided to continue the contract with Kyle Head Coach. From this season, he has taken the lead as the head coach of Hiroshima and raised the team from the bottom of last season to 6th place. He showed the potential of the team by winning the strong team that participated. Of course, when looking back on this season, in building the team defense that was expected and further drawing out the goodness of each player. I think there were some challenges. Kyle head coach himself has been coaching in Japan for the third year. Next season, he will deepen his understanding of the Japanese and Japanese teams, and by communicating more with the players, he will be able to reduce his tactics and team. I believe that it will create a culture. Also, by making a decision to continue the contract with Kyle Head Coach as a club, not only will it be possible to advance the formation that can embody the basketball that the head coach is aiming for at an early stage. We believe that it will be possible to do the most important “building up” in team sports, and the team strength will deepen. Next season will be a true game season. As a club, we will play against Kyle Head Coach on the best stage and aim to be a club that can liven up Hiroshima with basketball. “
