Women's Basketball Woori Bank coach Wisung-Woo Wi challenges for his first ever 300 wins on the 25th

Women's professional basketball Asan Woori Bank coach Wi Sang-woo (52) challenges for the first 300 wins in league history.

Woori Bank will play a home game against Yongin Samsung Life Insurance at the Yi Sun-sin Gymnasium in Asan, South Chungcheong Province on the 25th.

If coach Wi Sang-woo, who has a total of 299 wins and 82 losses in the regular season as of the 24th, wins today, he will become the first coach in women's professional basketball history to have 300 wins in the regular season.

Coach Wi Sang-woo, who graduated from Busan Jungang High School and Dankook University, is recognized by everyone as the best player in women's basketball.

Coach Wi, who played for professional basketball teams SBS, Dongyang, and Mobis, began his leadership career as a coach at Shinhan Bank in 2005 and later moved to Woori Bank in 2012.

Although he did not receive much attention as a star player during his active career, mainly doing dirty work such as defense, he is on a roll as a leader with his attitude of constant research and leadership that emphasizes physical strength and basic skills.

In the early days of supervision, some criticized the harsh training method as 'screaming leadership', but since then, the focus has been on communication rather than yelling, and the flexibility to change the teaching method has also been achieved.

Woori Bank, which had been in last place for four consecutive seasons before Coach Wi Sang-woo took office, caused a surprise by winning the 2012-2013 season as soon as Coach Wi took over. Coach Wi reached the top of the championship game six times, more than half of the 11 seasons played at Woori Bank.

However, in reality, it should be seen as having won 8 times out of 11 seasons.

The 2015-2016 season won the championship, but it was invalidated because Bucheon KEB Hana Bank, the opponent in the final, used an illegal player named Chelsea Lee.

Additionally, the championship game could not be held in the 2019-2020 season due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and Woori Bank took first place in the regular league.

Thanks to this overwhelming performance, it is known that men's professional teams often receive 'love calls' to recruit the above manager.

This season, despite the absence of starting guard Park Hye-jin due to injury, the team is in second place with 16 wins and 3 losses, so it is considered worthy of a challenge to win the championship.

As head coach of the national team, Coach Wi won a gold medal at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and served as coach of the 2013 and 2015 Asian Championships and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Coach Above's 300 wins will likely remain an unrivaled record for some time, given that no coach has yet achieved 200 wins.

Currently, the regular women's professional basketball league consists of 30 games per team, but it is not easy to win 20 games in a season.Therefore, it is calculated that it will take more than 5 years to catch up to 100 wins.

Among active coaches, the second most wins is Samsung Life Insurance coach Lim Geun-bae with 130 wins. 스포츠토토맨
