Smartest thing you said so far.

It is what it is.

Now prepare your “sons” to control what they can and leave no doubt in the coaches eyes that they belong on the court.

I cant speak to what you are alleging but I can say that the program has been successful, at least for the past 3-4 years with whatever formula the coach has been utilizing. I dont see him changing any time soon.

Or, take em to Moanalua, I hear they have a great program and its DRAMA free.

@ Mainlander

You still didn’t answer any of my ?’s You keep going around my ?

Why I don’t compare to mainland teams? Cause you comparing it to Iolani Classic. Those teams are top 25 teams. Punahou won their tournament beating Mainland teams. with your so called football players….. so standard is already high……

so go back and answer my?’s

Did your son make the team and doesnt get playing time or did your son not make the team?

And if its neither, whats your beef with the program? Or with the state of basketball in Hawaii??

@Curious………why don’t you bring up your standards UP a little…why not compare to mainland teams.
and about THE state championships……..the league so small here, it’s hard to call it a state championship…mainland it’s called conference championship…..go oia…..yeah they should have “open division” for all the sports….not just football.

Doesn’t Punahou platoon meaning more playing time for everyone on the team? Have seen other ILH teams go only 7-8 deep once the regular season starts.

@ Mainlander

Does your son go to Punahou and got CUT? Look at the picture. None of those bigs on the team played football. Look their name up and try look if their name is on the football roster.
Now you can never compare Iolani Classic and Hawaii basketball. You Crazy!!!!!

Can’t lie. I just love to read the comments from uneducated buffoons about favouritism and poor leadership. It’s always a fantastic laugh. Four consecutive appearances in the state championship, five total, won two state championships overall, and no record of illegal activity (unlike other coaches).
