Given that injuries have occurred, this is the first time the OIA teams are playing the ILH teams during league play, the wear and tear of a long and grinding season, and other variables I do see improvement.

When doing a comparison, you can’t compare this year’s Kahuku team to any teams before. Why? The parameters are different. This is the first year OIA teams have played ILH teams during the regular season. Therefore, it wouldn’t be an accurate comparison.

I am not an expert on coaching. If I was, I’d make a career of it and coach at the collegiate or professional level where coaches are paid handsomely for their expertise.

I see some areas that have improved. I see areas that need improvement. There are also areas that seemed to decline.

But that often happens in many teams. Kahuku is under a microscope since the community seems to watch Kahuku more than other communities or school communities watch their teams.

I’d like to think that people would sit back and enjoy. And if they can do a better job, I am sure they can apply to coach or be an assistant.

@TooMeke2: You have every right to your opinion and interpret how and when coaches use the word WE. I’m OK with that and have no problem with you doing some research. Just for the sake of your opinion…answer yes or no and no justification required, has there been any improvements, offensively or defensively since Kahuku played Punahou? If your answer is yes, I will rescind my initial comments on 10. BTW don’t take words out of context because coach Carvalho is one of the nicest person, have no vendetta against him but as far as coaching varsity football, my opinion still stands and you can take it for what it is…Aloha!

@Northshore, if you research, you will notice hundreds of coaches who use the word “WE” exactly or similar to the Kahuku coach. Please do the research. He did nothing wrong.

If you need me to find dozens or hundred of similar quote for you since you are unable to find them, please let me know.

It seems you have a personal vendetta against him. Maybe he isn’t the best. But he’s giving his time for pennies. Seems like the community should be thanking him.

Here’s a quote from Coach Johnson of Georgia Tech, a solid D1 program.

“We’re to the point where we need to be accountable,” Johnson said, his voice growing increasingly irritated. We’re all accountable. Everybody has to do their part.”

Kind of seems many coaches talk like the Kahuku coach if you do the research. This took me 8 seconds to find.

Now, why is this wrong again? Part of sports is holding kids accountable and holding them to a higher standard. This is what the Kahuku coach is doing.

And what is wrong with that again?

This is how the ILH Agenda divides us. They recruit and destroy our communities and then when our once proud football programs struggle, instead of pointing at the root cause of the problem, we end up complaining about our own coaches. We say our coaches aren’t good enough. our players are too injured. The real problem is Cal Lee and the ILH agenda and the media and the HHSAA that put profits over people. Profits over community. Profits over our own children. Maybe those of you who support the ILH Agenda need to take a good look in the mirror and see who you really are. RRFL!

@TooMeke2: I understand how Coach Belichick used the word WE and it was used in a different type of scenario compared to coach Carvalho’s statements. Belichick’s quotes, “It’s all about WE not looking back, WE don’t talk about last year, next week, today”…It’s all about a team not looking or talking. Carvalho’s quotes are quite different..”WE all got to accept responsibility” (as head coach I accept full responsibility) “WE have to make adjustments.” (As head coach I have to make the adjustments) “be better at what WE do” (As a coach I need to do better at what I do) It becomes the coaches responsibility when a team doesn’t show any improvement after 8 weeks of football, offensively and defensively. If you watched Kahuku these past 8 weeks, has there been any improvements? If you say yes than I will rescind my previous comments on 10.

Enough with the recruiting bickering. Families choose what schools to send their children so what ever is best should not be ridiculed. Besides, it’s never stopped an OIA school from the past from winning a state title.
The biggest thing this year is the toll these interleague games are having on these kids bodies. It’s a prime-time matchup week after week so players are getting hurt more often. Maybe next year they should reduce the amount of games they play. Everyone doesn’t have to play each other. They can figure out a better schedule. Maybe two or three bye weeks. Can we imagine if they had to play the week of hurricane lane?

@Northshore,

Coach Belichek, arguably the greatest coach ever often incorporates the use of the word “WE” into his quotes.

Here is one:

“You can’t look back. WE don’t talk about last year. WE don’t talk about next week. WE talk about today, and WE talk about the next game. That’s all WE can really control.” – Bill Belichick

I thought all “good” coaches will take all responsibilities? Great coaches use the word we since the TEAM is in it together.

Please do your research, Urban Meyer, Tom Laundry, Jimmy Johnson, Nick Saban, Bill Walsh, they all have similar quotes to Coach Carvalho.

It’s called being a team. Coaches and kids should be accountable. Who coaches any sport and puts no accountability on the kids?

Way to keep the bar low for the kids!

So a roster of 99 kids at STL is paying $1000 each a month. Thats 1.9 million reasons why Cal better change the rules in his favor, and recruit 10 samoans to win the title, or else gonna have a lot of pissed off parents.

10 months equal 1 school year, einstein.
————————-

Let’s do some math here.

99 kids x $1000/month = $99,000
$99,000/month x 10 months = $990,000
Tax = $46,648.80

TOTAL (Base Tuition + Tax) = $990,000 + $46,648.80

GRAND TOTAL = $1,036,648.80

How did you come up with 1.9 million? You math seems way off.
