The Shimane Susanoo Magic, who have lost seven straight games, including their past three by a combined 59 points, made a coaching change on Sunday.
Former JBL star Reggie Hanson was hired to replace Vlasios Vlaikidis, Shimane announced on its website.
Vlaikidis, who was in his first season at the helm, was relieved of his coaching duties after the team's 5-21 start. Shimane has the worst record in the 10-team Western Conference a season after reaching the second round of the playoffs.
