Tacon out as Kamehameha hoops coach

Greg Tacon is no longer the boys basketball coach at Kamehameha, according to three sources who requested anonymity because the school has not made an official announcement.

The sources said Tacon was let go within the last two weeks. Multiple calls to Tacon and Kamehameha athletic director Glennie Adams last week and this week were not returned.

The Warriors went 6-4 in the ILH in the recently concluded winter season and failed to qualify for the Division I state tournament.


Tacon was hired by the Warriors in June 2013 and spent five years as the head man. The Warriors went 22-28 in that span in ILH regular season games and failed to qualify for the state tournament.


Tacon previously was the boys head coach at Punahou and Moanalua.


Tacon is the second basketball coach at Kamehameha to find out he won’t be back next season. In late March, girls basketball coach Joe Cho was let go after four seasons.

A change of head coach also happened in the Kamehameha baseball program prior to the season now in progress. Thomas Perkins and the whole varsity and JV staff were released in January. Kahi Kaanoi is the new varsity baseball coach.

    RESPECT THE GAME WRITES

    1. No-one else cares but YOU, bro – YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE ON THIS ENTIRE BLOG WHO CANNOT UNDERSTAND THAT TAKING A BREAK CAN AFFECT ONE’S RHYTHM & GAME. NOT A SINGLE POSTER AGREES WITH YOU.

    2. Look who’s the pot calling the kettle black, very big of you to say I’m hiding behind a forum when your headline reads “BASKETBALL FAN” and doing the bad mouthing – I AM NOT THE ONE HIDING BADMOUTHING A HUMAN BEING (COACH TACON). I AM BAD MOUTHING YOU WHO IS NOT USING THEIR REAL NAME. SOME HOW YOU THINK USING AN ALIAS AND ATTACKING A REAL PERSON (TACON) IS THE SAME AS USING AN ALIAS AND ATTACKING A PSEUDONYM (ME TOWARDS YOU, UNLESS YOUR MOM NAMED YOU RESPECT THE GAME). ARE YOU REALLY THIS DUMB? I HOPE YOU’RE PLAYING WITH US FOR KICKS AND GIGGLES.

    3. You think I’m one of the D2 parents that turned you in, well, sorry to disappoint, I am not – I KNOW YOU ARE NOT. YOUR KID GOT CUT AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SO ANGRY. BREATH, BREATH. IT’S OKAY THAT YOUR KID SUCKS. MAYBE GYMNASTICS NEXT YEAR OR CHECKERS?

    4. FYI, my son played basketball during the good old days, EARNED his accolades, AND his coach used his (and the team’s) skills very well – SURE AND MY SON’S NAME IS LEBRON JAMES. BWAHAHAH! YOU REALLY EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAD A KID WHO PLAYED SPORTS?

    5. There’s no desperation, begging, bad mouthing or crying here, only simple honesty and truth – TRUTH? HAHAHAHA! YOU ARE REALLY MAKING ME LAUGH AND PUTTING A HUGE SMILE ON MY FACE. MAHALO 4 DAT!

    6. Liar, Nitwit, Fool, Dumb? Wow, what a big vocabulary you have! LOL! What are you, 5? Kinda embarrassing for YOU!! – HAHAHAH, THAT IS THE FUNNIEST COMEBACK I HAVE EVER HEARD! HAHAH I LITERALLY CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. “WHAT ARE YOU 5?” HAHAH THAT IS SO ORIGINAL. MOMS, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME ON THIS BLOG, IT’S TIME TO GO TO HOLLYWOOD AND USE THAT INGENUITY, WIT, AND HUMOR TO BECOME FAMOUS. BUT IF YOU DO THAT, WHO WILL BE HERE TO ENTERTAIN US.

    KEEP DANCING FOR ME AND KEEP ENTERTAINING ME LIKE THE GOOD LITTLE MAMA THAT YOU ARE.

    ILH Coach #2 aka Basketball Fan aka Lebron James’s Parent,

    Thank you for the amusing comeback. Typing in all caps does not make you any smarter or anymore right than you think you are. LOL!

    1. No-one else cares but YOU, bro – YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE ON THIS ENTIRE BLOG WHO CANNOT UNDERSTAND THAT TAKING A BREAK CAN AFFECT ONE’S RHYTHM & GAME. NOT A SINGLE POSTER AGREES WITH YOU. {blah, blah, blah = excuses, excuses, excuses, it’s not only posts that has to agree with me, some of the KS BBall community agrees with me. You’re the only one who has a rebuttal to my posts. Insecure much?}

    2. Look who’s the pot calling the kettle black, very big of you to say I’m hiding behind a forum when your headline reads “BASKETBALL FAN” and doing the bad mouthing – I AM NOT THE ONE HIDING BADMOUTHING A HUMAN BEING (COACH TACON). I AM BAD MOUTHING YOU WHO IS NOT USING THEIR REAL NAME. SOME HOW YOU THINK USING AN ALIAS AND ATTACKING A REAL PERSON (TACON) IS THE SAME AS USING AN ALIAS AND ATTACKING A PSEUDONYM (ME TOWARDS YOU, UNLESS YOUR MOM NAMED YOU RESPECT THE GAME). ARE YOU REALLY THIS DUMB? I HOPE YOU’RE PLAYING WITH US FOR KICKS AND GIGGLES. {LOL! Unless your birth certificate says ILH Coach #2 or Basketball Fan, my name is Tod Apo. LMAO! Since your point is I’m “attacking” behind an alias, what does that say about you? Double standard much? Pot calling the kettle black much? Are you hard of comprehending much?}

    3. You think I’m one of the D2 parents that turned you in, well, sorry to disappoint, I am not – I KNOW YOU ARE NOT. YOUR KID GOT CUT AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SO ANGRY. BREATH, BREATH. IT’S OKAY THAT YOUR KID SUCKS. MAYBE GYMNASTICS NEXT YEAR OR CHECKERS? {It’s so amusing how you make assumptions and believe you’re right. Kinda like it’s your way or no way. You must of been really good at gymnastics, not checkers, that requires brain cells.}

    4. FYI, my son played basketball during the good old days, EARNED his accolades, AND his coach used his (and the team’s) skills very well – SURE AND MY SON’S NAME IS LEBRON JAMES. BWAHAHAH! YOU REALLY EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAD A KID WHO PLAYED SPORTS? {Us? I don’t see any, us. Are you still dreaming? Okay, I guess you’re Lebron James’s parent. LOL!}

    5. There’s no desperation, begging, bad mouthing or crying here, only simple honesty and truth – TRUTH? HAHAHAHA! YOU ARE REALLY MAKING ME LAUGH AND PUTTING A HUGE SMILE ON MY FACE. MAHALO 4 DAT! { “Simple honesty and truth” You’re welcome, glad you can smile, beginning to think that is not in your wheelhouse.}

    6. Liar, Nitwit, Fool, Dumb? Wow, what a big vocabulary you have! LOL! What are you, 5? Kinda embarrassing for YOU!! – HAHAHAH, THAT IS THE FUNNIEST COMEBACK I HAVE EVER HEARD! HAHAH I LITERALLY CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. “WHAT ARE YOU 5?” HAHAH THAT IS SO ORIGINAL. MOMS, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME ON THIS BLOG, IT’S TIME TO GO TO HOLLYWOOD AND USE THAT INGENUITY, WIT, AND HUMOR TO BECOME FAMOUS. BUT IF YOU DO THAT, WHO WILL BE HERE TO ENTERTAIN US. {There you go again with the, us! I guess you count your multiple personalities. Not wasting time, I love to give readers the truth, and nothing but the truth. I’m not going anywhere. Do US a favor and change your alias to Narcissistic Personality, it’s MUCH more fitting.}

    KEEP DANCING FOR ME AND KEEP ENTERTAINING ME LIKE THE GOOD LITTLE MAMA THAT YOU ARE. {HA! No dancing here. Just reading and responding patiently to a person who has something to prove. Keep entertaining ME like the coach of the year YOU are 🙂 }
