really
Is it completely on bad coaching or is the talent level way down also? I don’t care how questionable coaching might be, if talent exists on the team, that team isn’t losing by almost 40 points to another local school. This year more then any other year, restricted coaches from having the time to develop players.

If you are a varsity coach and not using it as a teaching tool to improve. And treating the game as meaningful then why play it? This isn’t YMCA, KBA, or KAC. Many Kamehameha parents feel the same. Lack of development. Poor game planning. Poor game management. Kamehameha should never lose this bad to any Hawaii team.

Not sure bout the deeper bench but Kam definitely has more kids. Iolani sets it up that way so they don’t have to sub in less talent. Iolani returned 4 seniors that started in the state championships. I think 3 of the 4 also made the fab 15. Kam definitely has less talent with maybe 2 or 3 girls that look like they even can play. I agree with you on the Kam coach lacking experience at their level. Iolani shoots three’s and cuts to the basket. Kam gets out to the shooter slow and has terrible rotation on D.

Maybe some coaches are taking these games as an opportunity to just have fun with their kids . To let all the kids get have playing time . Not so much as to prove anything else . Just my thoughts

Just bad coaching by Kamehameha. Sat in a zone allowing over 10-15 three pointers. Head coach never changed the defense until it was too late. Kamehameha had a deeper bench and had been playing but chose to walk the ball up and down the court. No ball pressure. Didn’t play with pace. Can’t run any offense to get their only scorer (#24) clean looks. Defensively can’t figure out who are Iolani’s better scorers. They defend each player the same. No game plan whatsoever. Team has poor shot selection. I could find a better coach from the KBA or PAL League. Very challenging to watch Kamehameha play. Such low level coaching. They barely beat HBA and Hanalani (D2 Teams). They finally face a good D1 team and absolutely get smoked. If there was a season, Kamehameha would go winless in the ILH. They would not beat Iolani, Maryknoll, or Punahou.
