Unlike many other successful coaches, Delbert didn’t play the sport in high school. He started his coaching career as an equipment manager, and then began coaching defensive backs, then became a defensive coordinator before becoming a head coach, leading Na Kulekia o Kana Lui to the Division 1 championship of the HHSAA tournament in 2002. Though he led Na Kulekia to two more ILH titles and appearances in the Division 1 championship game of the HHSAA tournament-narrowly losing each of them to fine teams from the OIA-he was let go, inexplicably and unwisely, less than one month before the start of practice before the 2008 season! Their loss has become ‘Iolani’s gain and good fortune.
