Pepper Savings Bank released a press release on the 28th and announced, "The club terminated the contract under a mutual agreement with coach Joe Trinzee after much consideration for the renewal of the stagnant atmosphere and quick preparation for next season."
For the rest of the season, assistant coach Lee Kyung-soo will serve as acting coach. Pepper Savings Bank said, "Lee Kyung-soo will lead the team as acting coach until the next coach is appointed. The team will do its best to normalize the team by starting the process of appointing the next coach as soon as possible. The team will not forget the days it spent with Trinzie and wish him and his family the best for the future."
Pepper Savings Bank appointed Trinjee in June last year. When the team was appointed, Trinjee said that he is the right person to lead Pepper Savings Bank based on data-based performance analysis. Trinjee served as an analyst and coach for the U.S. women's volleyball team from 2013 to 2016, contributing to winning the World Volleyball Championship in 2014, ranking No. 1 in the World Grand Prix in 2015, and winning a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. He was a coach for the Canadian women's volleyball team in 2019 and the Canadian men's volleyball team in 2022.
However, Trinzie was not the only one who completely changed Pepper Savings Bank. When asked about the cause during a slump in this season, Trinzie said, "I don't think there's pressure on the players. When a coach instructs players to play in this way, the players perform the role they play. It is important to make small changes one by one in order to solve a big task. Due to the pressure to succeed in offense from the beginning of this season, players are constantly affected if one or two mistakes are made on the court. "In order to show good play for a long time, it is important to increase the time during which good play is made little by little," Trinzie said.
The coach emphasized the lack of teamwork of the players due to the limitations of the new team before the game was played with tactics. That volleyball is not the case, even though the team's sports skills are supposed to work together. Coach Trinzee was responsible for reducing time to boost teamwork, but he left Korea with only the worst report card that was not worthy of his career.
Pepper Savings Bank has already secured its bottom position in the 2023-2024 season. With five games to go this season, it has three wins and 28 losses with only 10 points as of Friday. It is the last place for three consecutive years following the 2021-2022 season (3 wins and 28 losses and 11 points), when it joined the team as the seventh female volleyball team for the first time, and the 2022-2023 season (5 wins and 31 losses and 14 points), which was the second year. It is true that it takes time for a new team to establish itself in the professional league, but it is worried about its performance every season due to its performance falling far short of the other six teams.
This season was particularly eventful. He set a new record for losing consecutive games in the V-League. Pepper Savings Bank recruited Park Jeong-ah, a national team striker, from the FA market, and brought Chae Seon-ah to the FA market. He made the decision to invest a whopping 4.65 billion won (8.35 million U.S. dollars) by capturing Lee Han-bi and Oh Ji-young in the FA market. While nominating proven foreign player Yasmin Bedard, he dreamed of strengthening his offense capability, but the reality was not. He had the humiliation of achieving the disgraceful record of 17 consecutive games for two consecutive seasons, from 2021 to 2022 and 2022, but this season he won a whopping 23 consecutive games.
Pepper Savings Bank suffered a crushing defeat with a set score of 0-3 in the match against IBK Industrial Bank of Korea in Hwaseong on the 10th, and lost 21 consecutive games. It was the moment when KGC Ginseng Corporation broke its V-League women's record of 20 consecutive losses, which was recorded in the 2012-2013 season. Pepper Savings Bank has added two more losses since then, recording a disastrous 23 consecutive losses. Pepper Savings Bank has overcome its crisis of 24 consecutive losses by winning a 3-2 set score at the match against Korea Expressway Corporation in Gimcheon. It was the first victory in 105 days since the 3-2 set score against Jangchung GS Caltex on November 10 last year.
Pepper Savings Bank shocked the volleyball community when it was found that Oh Ji-young violated human rights by harassing and verbally abusing a junior player in her team. The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) gave Oh a one-year suspension on Friday, while Pepper Savings Bank made a surprise decision to terminate his contract after KOVO announced the disciplinary action. 사설 토토사이트
The reward and punishment committee said, "At the reward and punishment committee, Oh Ji-young and the player who was identified as the victim reappeared, and Pepper Savings Bank officials also made every effort to find out the exact facts by giving them an opportunity to explain and checking the statements of the club's reference persons." As a result, we confirmed that Oh Ji-young's human rights violations, including bullying and verbal abuse against her teammates, were committed."
The reward and punishment committee then said, "These acts are serious antisocial acts and are bad practices that must be eradicated in professional sports in the future, so we decided to sanction them to prevent similar acts from happening again, and decided to punish Oh Ji-young for one year's suspension in accordance with Article 10 (1) 4 and 5 of the Player Human Rights Protection Committee Regulations, Article 10 (1) 1 of the Reward and Penalty Regulations, and Article 11 (4) and (5) of the criteria for imposing sanctions (general) in the attached Table 1 of the Reward and Penalty Regulations."
Pepper Savings Bank immediately terminated its contract with Trinji, who failed not only to control the team's performance but also to control the team's atmosphere, leaving only bitter results in many ways.
