PLG Tainan TSG GhostHawks Extend Head Coach Raoul Korner's Contract to Build Team Culture and Chase Championship

(Central News Agency, reporter Chen Rongchen, Taipei, 11th) After failing to advance to the championship series, the Tainan TSG GhostHawks of Taiwan's professional basketball league P.LEAGUE+ announced today that they have renewed the contract with head coach Raoul Korner, beginning preparations for the new season. The team will establish a more consistent team culture with unity and discipline as its core direction.

Plagued by injuries this season, the GhostHawks were defeated by the Taipei Fubon Braves in the playoffs, missing out on a championship series berth for the second consecutive year. At the time, head coach Raoul Korner inspired the entire team by saying, "I believe success is only delayed; it will come one day," urging them to use this defeat as motivation for the future.

Confirming the contract extension with Korner, the GhostHawks organization stated today that they recognize the positive impact Korner has had on the team's culture, training attitude, and overall discipline since taking over. They particularly value his emphasis on role definition within the team system and his insistence that every member must demonstrate a professional attitude in both training and games.

The GhostHawks organization pointed out that Korner has a clear plan for the team and places great importance on team integration and establishing discipline. Over this period, he has helped players better understand their responsibilities and roles within the team, gradually building a stable training rhythm and game style. "We believe that under Coach Korner's leadership, the GhostHawks can continue to grow and meet the challenges of the new season."

Korner stated that he aims to improve backcourt ball-handling and offensive organization stability, and to make the import player configuration more flexible. Therefore, the goal is to add at least one more local player with ball-handling ability to help the team become more creative offensively. At the same time, based on roster needs, he wants more room for adjustment in the third import player position. "In the new season, we will continue to improve our overall physicality and execution."
