Had Coach Claude Hottendorf and his twin sons playing for him. Leroy Lutu, the Morales twins, Craig Bell. Now they playing Div 2 basketball. Give them credit for pulling that off, being a tiny school. Maryknoll too. I think what happened is that Iolani started to recruit big-time in basketball. No way can those tiny schools compete with Iolani and Punahou if they both want the same player. Maryknoll could offer year round basketball. No need for play football too. Punahou’s recruits back in the 1970s always played another sport besides football. Mark Tuinei was also a starting center on the Punahou basketball team and also threw the discus and shot put on Punahou’s dominant track program in the 1970s under the legendary Al Rowan. Mosi Tatupu played baseball too..
