After the Great Tohoku quake and subsequent tsunami on March 11 , 2011 , the Tokyo Apache suspended the remainder of its 2010 – 2011 season . Tokyo Apache organization and staff then joined forces with Evolution Capital Management and owner Michael Lerch in funding relief projects and organizations . The combined group , which will also include former NBA star and former Tokyo Apache head coach Joe Bryant as well as baseball legend Bobby Valentine , will contribute over 1 million US dollars to such projects and , as the situation stabilizes , aim to participate in programs that will help the people that have been devastated by this disaster
