The first confrontation between the teacher and the teacher was a victory.
Until just a month ago, they were one team. Now they will have a showdown with each other as a coach vs. Sungkyunkwan University coach Kim Sang-joon and Chung-Ang University coach Yoon Ho-young.
Sungkyunkwan University's Natural Science Campus Suseong Hall on the 7th, when Sungkyunkwan University and Chung-Ang University faced off for the second time in the 2025 KUSF college basketball U-League season.
Expectations were high as the three teams tied for third place, as they staged an exciting match by one point from their first showdown of the season. However, they also had other points to look out for. Sungkyunkwan University coach Kim Sang-joon and Chung-Ang University coach Yoon Ho-young met.
Coach Kim Sang-joon and coach Yoon Ho-young had a deep and heated relationship. When Chung-Ang University was writing the legend of 52 consecutive wins on the college stage, they built a trust relationship by building friendship between coaches and players.
As time passed, Kim Sang-joon took the helm of Sungkyunkwan University and immediately included Yoon Ho-young in the "Kim Sang-joon Division" immediately after his retirement. Coach Yun Ho-young, who took the leadership path, steadily took leadership lessons while assisting Kim Sang-joon as the youngest coach.
The fate of the two, which seemed to be solid, was changed to Farewell in April. Yoon Ho-young, who was a coach at Sungkyunkwan University, will take over the vacant Chung-Ang University head coach position.
At the match between Sungkyunkwan University and Chung-Ang University on Friday, the first showdown between the two teams took place. Coach Yoon Ho-young said, "I was very excited," before the match. "I wasn't nervous during the debut game between Korea University and the coach, but today I'm very nervous (laughs). Maybe because I was so nervous, I even felt a pain in my back."
"I have a long relationship with (Kim Sang-joon). I talked on the phone yesterday as well. I learned a lot during the three years with him. He was my instructor (laughs). Even after the decision to go to Chung-Ang University, he gave me a lot of good words," he said.
Coach Kim Sang-joon also seemed to have special feelings about his showdown with his student. Manager Kim Sang-joon is seen as his signature four-year-old. "I can't believe I'm going to have a bench match with my student," Kim said. "I guess I'm old."
"The match against Korea University was held three days after taking office, so today's game will actually be my debut game (laughs) for coach Yoon Ho-young," Kim said. "I talked on the phone yesterday evening, and I was excited without knowing Wenji."
Coach Kim Sang-joon gave bone advice to coach Yoon Ho-young, who took his first step as a coach. I felt a lot of affection for my student who took on a new challenge.
Referring to Chung Bong-seop, the godfather of Chung-Ang University basketball, Kim said, "I also received a lot of advice from Chung Bong-seop after I became the coach for the first time. Reminding Yoon of that time, I told him, 'I should not miss every move of my children and I should hug them in my arms.' Also, supplying and receiving good players in high school is more important than teaching. I hope I become a leader who does not get together while watching a lot of high school basketball."
Coach Kim Sang-joon did not stop there. "Looking back on the history of Chung-Ang University's basketball team, we had three heydays. It was when Chung Bong-seop, former coach Kim Tae-hwan, and I were the coaches. Back then, Chung-Ang University was a school that everyone wanted to attend," Kim said. "I hope Coach Yoon Ho-young will make Chung-Ang University's fourth heyday of basketball. It's a school that anyone wants to attend to live up to its reputation as a prestigious basketball club."
