And yes Kelly Grant did win 2 State titles w/ da Bulldogs with very little to work with. Guy is impressive! Coach Smith got tired of the crap “the system” was handing him, what a shame the Admin chased him away like that. His Pops founded that darn program, who are they to do that to him. The boys needed him over there! Kawazoe and Nakanishi I sure as hell hope they don’t have chips on their shoulders. We’re gonna have to introduce them to Froggie Fujimura @ UH so they can go wash some uniforms.

December 8, 2000. Missed all 11 attempts. Here you thought you were on your high horse all the while MAKING UP these stories. Throwing out words like INTEGRITY, and ACCURATE, and TRUTHFUL. Show me where you got your stats that showed he NEVER shot 25%… You have no credibility. Congrats all this trolling and your done. You have been confirmed just some liar behind a keyboard.

Now, that @Education First is done. back to the article at hand. I wonder if he were not the coach, Would there have been a stipulation another coach? A new coach may have brought kid up anyway, except Akina would have had to cheer from the stands instead of being his coach.

Seriously though, can you show me where you can google “lame ball handling” I am still searching!!! hahahah.

Comparing two guys that don’t even average double digits to Shaq, arguably the top center ever! Man, stop trying to pump up your sons! There are decent, but not that good where we should be talking about them, haha.

BTW, please put the link so I can locate stats for “Lame ball handling” hahahah!

I am also curious, while Akina coached Kahuku, where did you coach? I googled your name and noticed that you were dismissed from the lunchtime league at Kahuku Elementary since you were getting too close to the little kids.

“LAME BALL HANDLING” hahaha. I sent ESPN an email asking if the NBA will ever stat lame ball handling and how would they track that.

I have to say, I will give you a merit badge for being the most original. Never in my wildest imagination would someone come on this blog and come up with something as “SPECIAL” as lame ball handling and then tell others to stat it.

Now my mistake was a lack of research that happens all the time in critical writing. That is why the newspaper has to retract a lot of information.

But how do you retract a ridiculous comment like “GOOGLE LAME BALL HANDLING!” HAHAHAHAH.

Now I admit, I should have spent more time researching. My negligence had to do with lack of effort. Yours had to do with being an idiot.

Now I can work hard to limit errors, but how do you fix your problem of being an idiot? haha…

checkmate…

if the coach wants his boys to experience something else, he should have sent them somewhere else like the mainland because they’re playing at a football school. it’s never never never never never a good idea to coach your own son, let alone 2 sons, in high school. and if u do, like the smiths at kalaheo, they better be really really good. they better kick everyone’s trash at practice every day. working harder than everyone else in the offseason doesn’t justify playing more than everyone else…u have to be better than them at practice everyday because the players on the team have to believe that the coaches sons are better than them. if that’s not happening, then there’s nooooooooooo way you’re gonna convince the team to play for u. put in another coach and let em battle in practice so that a “coach” will have an unbiased view of how the “team” will compete.

he’s a good coach, so if he really likes coaching he’ll go coach somewhere else. and if he’s a really good coach, it’ll work out for him wherever he goes, be successful, win a ton of games, and there won’t be any squabble no more!

his boys got skills and i hope they’ll be able to work through this since it looks that they’re gonna stay. they shouldn’t be getting trashed on here. neither should the coach. high school only happens once. kids should be enjoying their experience. coaches should facilitate that. parents should stay outta the way. the a.d. better step up because this is bad publicity for the school.

bawlah!!!!!

This is why you think you are so smart… Take your foot out of your mouth on this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O%27Neal

O’Neal’s primary weakness was his free throw shooting, with a career average of 52.7%. He once missed all 11 of his free throw attempts in a game against the Seattle SuperSonics on December 8, 2000, a record.

GEEZ 🙂 BOOM (This is you slumping in your chair thinking of how smart you thought you were). Bye This was fun.

Kelly Grant won 2 state titles in 93 and 2007 w/ a team of riff raffs who would probably rather be bodyboarding Waiks walls or whatever.

Even if Nakanishi did make head coach @ HPU Its only D2, he’d never accomplish what Coach Sellitto did there.

And no it’s not all about public school education. It’s about the public school experience champ. Making friends, having girlfriends, cutting class to go Sandy’s, smoking cigarettes in the bathrooms, going to costco for lunch. I did it. I had more fun at Kaiser in the 90’s than you can imagine. Though i still took care of grades, made the GPA, got my picture on the wall in the gym. We partied hard buddy. That’s what school is about!
This life is not all about money. I want my kids to learn and have fun being happy. School doesn’t teach creativity, artistic ability, learning to navigate a boat, learning to grow and finding your own food.

Buddy…. You’re going on and on about everyday mainstream nonsense every media mogul feeds you on that silly overcrowded island of Oahu. Grow up!
What if a food shortage hit… Are you prepared to feed your silly face w/ no Safeways/ Foodlands. A tsunami hits, then the streets of Honolulu go chaotic. Where will you find drinking water? Waikiki will be under water from global warming in 50 yrs. Do you care about future generations? Oh, you care about proficiency scores that in itself lack much proficiency!
You are a silly guy let me tell you. Learn to grow and hunt your own food, provide drinking water in case of emergency. We humans don’t need corporate chemical conglomerate influences. Our schools lack in every aspect of teaching every basic fundamental buddy.

Yes, the topic here really is coach Akina getting the respect he deserves. Lots of upset parents and players.

But you buddy, you need to reshape your morals. why human beings are truly here on earth? We respect da aina. We need clothing, food, water, and shelter. Oahu can only handle so many people. Gotta leave some land for the farms. No farms no food.

Hey, maybe you can disclose your real name and alma mater. We can make arrangements to check you into the insane assylum or psyche ward.

Holy smokes!

Shaquille O’Neal (52.7 % Career FT, 4.9-9.3 FTA per game, 5,935-11,252 career FT)

He ranged somewhere between 40+ up to maybe 53 % shooting for Free Throws… He was not very good. Its as simple as that. Sorry to break your childhood dreams of him. I did watch him play against Yao Ming… He got MAN handled by Ming.

So, where do you get @Education First “In the 2001 NBA finals he averaged over 80 touches a game.” Did you read that somewhere or were you at the game and counted each pass? You like to talk facts so…?
