Sichuan Men’s Basketball Team Officially Announces Han Shuo as Head Coach for the New Season

On September 10, Sichuan Men’s Basketball Team officially announced today that Han Shuo will serve as the head coach for the new season.

The official statement is as follows:

The 2024-2025 season will kick off in October, and the team will embark on the new season with a brand new appearance. After careful consideration by the club, it has been decided that Han Shuo will take on the role of head coach to lead the team into the new season. ​​​

Han Shuo’s playing career was glorious, having played successively for Jiangsu, Bayi, and Sichuan, earning three All-Star selections during his career. In 2006, he represented the national youth men’s basketball team at the Asian Youth Championship, winning titles for “Rebound King” and “Steal King”. He was also selected for the national men’s basketball training squad in both 2010 and 2013. In 2020, he joined Sichuan Men’s Basketball Team and led the team to the playoffs in his first season.

Following the end of last season, after thorough consideration, taking into account the youthful characteristics of the team’s lineup, the club decided to appoint the team’s “big brother” as the head coach. During the off-season, Coach Han continued the military discipline, strictly overseeing training, improving the team’s overall level in terms of ideological construction and tactical training, achieving three consecutive victories in the early stages of the summer league.

We believe that under the leadership of the young head coach Han Shuo, the team will present itself to fans with a new spirit and style. Sichuan Blue Whales Club thanks all the fans for their strong support!
