But instead of working harder or teaching their kids to perform at a higher level, the easy thing to do was complain to admin. Hell, why work harder to improve their game and get a better outcome? That would be too hard. It’s easier to complain and get our way. Then this year, still upset, and running plays for his son just adds salt to a wound that these families could have fixed instead of complaining, they sit out and want the coach’s head again. Ho Hum. Thats the reel talk….

Here is a story: http://www.hawaiiprepworld.com/football/kahukus-losses-mount-avea-transfers/

It says nothing about leaving due to the coach. I am curious, do you just make stuff up? This smells of libel. I hope you have evidence and can prove it.

I saw Kahuku last year. The talent was not ridiculous. It was athletic, but the team I saw had about 1 sound ball handler. They lacked high basketball IQ in my opinion, often demonstrating by late game shot selection. I saw kids dribbling with their heads down. I saw kids dribbling with their inside hands.

Now if you are talking purely running and jumping then they might has the best athletes in Hawaii. If you are talking about footwork, being fundamentally sound, pivoting, shot form, etc., you are gravely incorrect.

Many times kids transfer out for reasons outside of the coach. Justice Sueing Jr., left Maryknoll. Liloa Nobriga left Iolani when Coach Doc Muguishi was the coach. Marcus Keene left Moanalua. Kids leave for so many reasons ranging from parent’s jobs, better opportunities, more competition on the mainland, etc.

Look at Kaiser, they have several transfers. Scheer left Kailua and Coach Marciel is an outstanding coach there.

In my opinion you seem to have a lot of jealousy or animosity towards Coach Akina. I am sorry if your son didn’t play as much. But instead of attacking Coach Akina, the positive way to approach this is to thank the man for donating many long hours. At the end of the day this is just an extracurricular activity.

As for the other coaches, we don’t really care who is coaching. As true competitors we want to coach against the best and we want their best player to be able to play, not out with injury or grades. That is competition is about, to test yourself against the best, not the worst. I don’t know who taught you about competition, but I am a little suspicious.
