bobby sox champ? hahaha. Your comment puts you in the 50+, male, disgruntled category. This forum is for discussion and you only get lame comebacks is “go coach”. Give me a break. I think there’s newer softball articles that you can comment on “go coach”. You are over 50 because your typing skills not that good either….SEE YAH

Too Meke why don’t you put your name? LOL. Go back and read my comment again. Never mentioned championship. Being knowledgable and treating these players right is the best anyone can ask for, both of which never happened. You don’t seemed to concerned with the scenarios I mentioned. So you must think it’s okay to leave a player in for 17 hits? Why don’t you put your name in for coaching, with your intelligence you most likely will get the job, and I’ll follow your lame coaching career ; )

@ Imua and KS Parent, I am assuming when a coaching change is made, we can see the both of you or either of you leading this team to a state championship since its obvious you are so intelligent.

Can I have your name so I can follow your coaching career when you guys get hired.

Mahalo!

Concerned Parent/Coach it wasn’t yesterday’s game, it was the whole season. No one is even talking about the rest of the staff but just Millwood. If anything the girls played for some of the other coaches. The issue is he can’t manage a game and he doesn’t not utilize the talent he has. He once left a pitcher in to get tagged for 17 hits. Not 7 but 17. Who does that? What is that girl learning? That it’s okay for an adult to not care? Multiple times he has given up on pitchers and stopped calling the game. Who does that? It’s ok to throw a pitcher who hasn’t pitched one inning the whole season into a bases loaded situation? If you were wondering it did result in a home run. What is that girl learning? As a coach why would you put anyone in that situation when you haven’t prepared them for it? Let’s not rehash every season he has been the coach. Same thing. But if that doesn’t convince you then think about this despite being regular season champs every year except for this year, he has never been voted ILH coach of the year. That should say volumes, and that’s from whining parents. While your perspective is yours try to see the true perspective. It’s not a issue of playing time. No parents went to the AD about playing time. Jobs are give. Integrity and credibility are earned.

I come from both sides of the spectrum as a parent and coach. I can see how frustrating as a parent and especially as a student athlete it can be to lose a heart breaking game like the one Kamehameha and Maryknoll played yesterday. As a parent and coach we try and build these young adults to become productive and positive role models in their community well beyond their teen years. We have to remember that STUDENT comes first before athlete . Championships win trophies but education and good grades wins futures. Of course winning championships is always a great feeling, but the big picture here is to prepare our youth for their future. Coming from a coaches perspective, it’s really sad to see when adults (mostly parents) attack the integrity and credibility of coaches and their staff because either their child doesn’t play enough, they don’t like how the coach is coaching or for other stupid reasons. Please keep in mind that most coaches and their staff take a lot of their time away from themselves and their own family to groom these athletes. Many hours of their own dedication to help these youths because they love it.

Coming from a parent who actually has a daughter on the team KS Parent hit a bullseye!

FF/ILH (because you sound like the same person) Comment all you like but don’t act like you know anything unless you have a kid on the team.

More disappointment for KSK. Another late-season”collapse” by a Kamehameha team… Just like the baseball. And the coaching merry-go-round continues, with no clear direction in view… “Leadership”? As an alum, I see a program needing direction. Where is the excellence up on the hill? For a school that big, and so much resources, how many ILH or State titles they won in the last few years???

FF-

You got it right. These parents are 10 much.
Easy to coach from the sidelines.
Even easier to criticize.

@ Hawaii Prep World – I think I speak for most when I say your video clips add a lot to your articles. Good job and thanks!
