Hyundai Mobis players sang ‘Goodbye Now’. Director Yoo’s basketball life flowed on the stadium’s display board. General Manager Yoo said, “My basketball life is 50 years, and he spent 19 years with Hyundai Mobis.” Thank you,” he said goodbye to fans.
General manager Yoo, who played as a point guard as a player and was known as the ‘fox of the court’, started his leadership career as a coach at Yonsei University in 1993 and started professional basketball as a coach at Daewoo Securities in 1997카지노. During the 24 seasons, he never took a break and lived his life as a ‘basketball manager’.
In particular, from the 2004-05 season, he has been with Hyundai Mobis. In the meantime, he won 724 professional wins, making his name the most winning command tower of all time. He also won 1st place in the regular season 6 times, won the championship game 6 times, and won the combined championship 4 times.

General Manager Yoo, who visited the press conference room after a long time after the retirement ceremony, said, “I told the club that I would not do it at first because the manager’s retirement ceremony was awkward and there were things that didn’t suit me.” I almost cried in the middle, but I held back because I felt embarrassed to cry on my 60th birthday.”
The best moments at Hyundai Mobis were the 2006-07 season, when they won the championship for the first time, and the 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15 seasons, when they achieved the feat of three consecutive victories. General Manager Yu said, “Among them, the time I won the first championship is more deeply in my heart.”
Director Yoo said that his physical condition improved a lot after staying away from the game world for about a year. When asked about future plans ahead of a new start, he said, “There is nothing special. I think I will be blocked, so should I file a claim for damages?” he joked.
