88, RRFL84: It appears that he would of stayed if the DoD rules did not change. What about when Ken wanted to go to BYU? Did the rules change for Ken?

Or was that all business? Program over people? or People over program? It’s not an issue of signaling out the support for Ken or Navy Football or the athlete. To me, this article is just a perspective. Just interesting how people look at it.

Both are successful and we all should desire and wish them the best, in representing 808.

Where did Gilman coach? I ask because he says he understands “as a coach himself, respects the decision even though he has a difference of opinion and doesn’t agree. “?

DoD changed the rule. Unfortunate. That’s the issue. I don’t think the father is taking it personal. Looks like he is stating the facts.

Rubbish. The contract changed. Kenny should have shown more Aloha. Truth be told he didnt want to play Alohi this season. Purely business decision = No Aloha.

One someone posts something on social media, that site now owns it. Anyone can go there and use information posted and report or write on a public forum or in this case a sport blog. There is nothing unethical or unprofessional about it. If the young man wanted privacy he should have written it in a personal journal. I agree with 88.

Facebook posts are public. It is no longer private.

Yes sir! 88 said it all and like it is! Alohi can sit out a year just like any other transfers ! Sounds like his father is taking it personal! I support Ken all the way. Go Navy!

Goodluck to both teams and both individuals. Coach Ken is a heaven sent, opening many doors for local boys here in Hawaii. I agree with 88, no need to publicly dump on the Coach.

Also, I would like for the author of this article to confirm he has gotten Asai’s permission to repost his personal facebook rantings in a public setting like this. I have no problem with a person expressing their words on their own social media platform but to allow such information to go public is in bad taste.

Uhhmmmm, The Navy Coach showed Aloha when he offered a FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP. Where is the Aloha to the commitment that was made to play for Navy? Where is the Aloha to your teammates and fellow Midshipmen? The Military is not and never was about a single Individual. Its about the group as a whole. The kid made an Individual decision. Cant fault the Coach for doing whats best for the Program.
