James Yang

I had the probity being both taught and coached by Mr Yang. One of the classes he taught was drivers training which was a great class filled with great stories and common sense tips that I use every day. I thought he was the fairest person I ever knew and nobody was more honorable. In short, he was a great man for student to emulate and look up to.

Great man and coach who impacted my life. Coach had high standards and expectations for all players and students. He will be missed.

Jim Yang was as an encouraging coach as an assistant at Saint Francis HS when I played on the 1964 CIF championship team. Coach Yang took the time to teach players individual techniques to help make you a better player. I remember and appreciated his help and encouragement. His memory will live on in the hearts of the Golden Knights he coached.
