Chapter 39 Teach Me

Yin Man was relieved of his duties at the Trail Blazers at the start of the season, but he didn't have to worry about finding work, as he had extensive connections in the basketball world.

Aside from being a good friend of Bob Knight, he also had a close personal relationship with Bucks' coach Don Nelson. The Bucks had already extended an olive branch to him, even before he left the Trail Blazers.

The circumstances surrounding Yin Man's departure in the summer remained shrouded in mystery, as there had been no signs, and the Trail Blazers' management provided no explanations, publicly citing personal reasons on Yin Man's part.

After leaving the Trail Blazers, Yin Man quickly went on to become the Bucks' personnel manager, a position that coincided with a period of turbulence for the team.
