To show the coach exactly how much he deserved being in the team, Luk had a long 'talk' with the coach just outside his office, just while he was trying to go home.

When the coach was found again the next morning, still unconscious, he was perfectly willing to give Luk a position. After all, he ought to be good at blocking, right?

---- Update ----

It appears the Funbbl Crew coach had ulterior motives, as Luk died to a vicious foul in the first turn of the first match, and the apoth was nowhere in sight. The coach, it turns out, is a vindictive bastard.
