Porter has been through thick and thin with Gan Guoyang for over a decade, achieving great success. After retiring from playing, he wasn't going to get any rest and continued coaching courtside.
Porter originally wanted to refuse, but Ah Gan threatened him, saying if he didn't coach, he wouldn't allow him to retire and would force him to continue playing.
When he renewed his contract, Porter indeed signed for two years, so he had no choice but to agree and then signed a five-year coaching contract.
Since 2004 until now, it's already the fourth year. Porter's hairless head is about to grow hair.
Porter actually isn't very suited for coaching because he's just too normal and lacks a certain wickedness and sufficient passion.
In 2003, occasionally filling in as a coach was fine, but doing it for a long time, especially handling the long regular season, was really demanding.
