- GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek said he was upset to lose a player he had focused on developing, but considered the trade necessary for the team.
“I’m sorry and upset. But it was a trade the team really needed,” GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek said over the phone.
The trade with SOOP Supers came as a surprise. The player, a 21-year-old outside hitter, had received Lee’s attention and care from the moment he took over as coach.
The move was especially difficult because she was a founding member of the club. The report says the trade involved a player connected to Pepper Savings Bank when that team was established, but the supplied excerpt ends before giving further details.
