Boo Yong-chan, who has been spending more time on the court recently, said, “It’s good for a player to have more roles,” adding, “I’m trying to make a positive impact on my team not only because I know what the coach wants, but also because I know what the coach wants.” He continued, “The coach wants to fight and he emphasizes a lot on ‘call sign’ (who will get it). I can relate to call signings because they are the basics of professional players.”
