Tokyo, Japan (June 24, 2010) –The Tokyo Apache and Evolution Capital Management are proud to announce Bob Hill as head coach of the Apache for the 2010-11 season. Coach Hill brings over 30 years of coaching experience, and held head coaching positions in the National Basketball Association with the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs and Seattle Supersonics. As the head coach of Apache, Hill is the first coach with NBA head coaching experience in Japan’s professional basketball league.
“We are thrilled to bring in Coach Hill to join this team,” said Conor Neu, General Manager of the Tokyo Apache. “The signing of Coach Hill demonstrates this organization’s commitment to our fans and players.” Since departing the NBA after the 2006-07 season with the Sonics, Hill has trained multiple NBA draft picks, represented the U.S. Basketball Academy in China, and was a coach with the Shaanxi team in China.
Coach Hill and Neu plan to review the Apache roster and hope to re-sign many of the Japanese players and extend offers to several international players. “Coach Hill and I expect the Apache to compete for the league championship this season. Coach Hill also shares our off-the-court vision, and he is excited to be an active member of the Apache community,” explained Mr. Neu.
