There was something refreshing, interesting and fun about the Yokohama B-Corsairs from the beginning. It wasn't always the easiest thing to explain in a few short words.
Sure, there were the carefully orchestrated parts — the Xs and Os, in-game adjustments — but the bj-league team just seemed to know what it was doing from the get-go.
Head coach Reggie Geary walked onto the home court at Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium for the team's first regular-season game in October 2011 with confidence, knowing what he wanted to accomplish. That game witnessed the birth of a model franchise, the B-Corsairs playing a high-energy, physical brand of basketball and falling in overtime to the then-two-time-defending champion Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix.
