Busan KCC Egis appointed Kim Do-soo as lead assistant coach,

the basketball team announced Monday.

Kim began his professional career after being selected fourth overall in the first round of the 2004 KBL rookie draft by the Incheon Electroland Elephants. He later played for Busan KT, now Suwon KT Sonicboom, before retiring with the Goyang Orion Orions.

After retiring as a player, Kim built his career as a coach with numerous clubs: the Goyang Orion Orions, WKBL club Bucheon Hana Bank, KT Sonicboom and Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Pheobus.

Most recently, Kim worked as a commentator for tvN Sports.

“Lead assistant coach Kim Do-soo’s extensive on-site experience and meticulous coaching style is expected to create new synergy for the team,” said Busan KCC Egis.

Kim will assist head coach Lee Sang-min, who led the team to the 2025-26 KBL championship.
