Hull went Iolani with York?
Is that why HPW tried to squash the York incident?
It’s not like York’s a player/minor so his actions should have been reported and made known.
Especially since it occurred during a high school event with players around.

Yea Clueless you’re right HPW does a lot for island kids. Sorry Billy but violating privacy laws and resorting to Big Brother tactics such as outing oppositional commentary intended to intimidate is nothing less than censorship . The truth is the ultimate defense and isn’t this what we’re trying to teach our Keiki.

Just so everyone knows Billy Hull has the ability to unveil various names as an unfettered abuse of his HPW employment but selectively chooses to ignore OIA homers like Notes, ???, Gandhi, Go Figure, Facts and I’m too tired to scroll down on his other aliases. Too bad you’re too weak to stand up to bullies like York (just bc you both went to Iolani) but go after bloggers who call you out. Weak just like your writing.

@hawkish
Just caught up on this thread, pointing the finger at the OIA or even some of the questionable officiating is one thing, but to make Hull and HPW complicit is pure idiocy. Hull/HPW have down more to promote Hawaii HS athletes, my own kids included, than anyone I’ve seen. As a parent I’m grateful, so thank you Billy Hull/HPW.

Just so everyone knows, Hawkish has also posted as “Chow Fun” “Jimmy Weeks” “Pepu” “No Punks” “T Tanaka” “V Masaniai” “Sad Note” “V. Kamakaala” “Really” “Unsportsmanlike Conduct” “Coach O” and “Coach V” and probably more but I’m tired of scrolling down.

Thanks for reading!

This is for Administration particular OIA since that’s what this chat is mainly targeting.

Is the consequence the same whether a student-athlete on the field or a student in the stands punches another person in the head and/or body? Or do they treat it differently?

The game should have its own consequences (ejected, loss of yards, etc) , but i believe that it shouldn’t stop there. In other words, isn’t an assault on the field just the same as in the stands? If so, why would they be treated any different?

If the rules are enforced, they wont be able to beat the ILH.
Plain and simple.

ILH wont step to it because its not their kuleana and it would be perceived as another slight towards the OIA.

Is there an entity that monitors, reviews and holds the referees accountable for their performance??
If not, there should be one.
Poor to terrible as a whole. Unfortunately, there are some good ones but overall performance is extremely bad. They going to get kids hurt out there for not keeping control in games like the SJB game.

Anti-Notes-
Wow, the Waipahu one is a doozy. Can this be substantiated? If so, I look at the HC in a very new light…….. Not surprised, just disappointing, maybe he didnt know?? He paints such a positive picture on social media of doing things the right way.

LOL, I know he punched a coach but it was in front of that many people?? And he still got a job?
Yeesh. I dont even think DJ ever did that and he got run out of two programs. I think the AD and Admin at the brown and gold school are in too deep to do anything.

Yes MiliLouis and Falcon: If York was suspended then why is SA, HPW and OC16 complicit in concealing this outrageous incident of violence and affirmatively lying to the public by claiming York was dealing with personal matters? Why didn’t any of these 3 media outlets and so called members of the “free” press report this event? Why did HPW remove all posts when York’s pre-season article printed? Clearly HPW comprised of Hull, Honda, Sakamoto, etal selectively apply their journalistic morals. I guess York is part of their club which makes one question the legitimacy of their other articles. From the looks of the OC 16 game video between Mililani and SJB, York wasn’t angered at either personal foul that occurred after the hard SJB hit. We’ve seen him snap crackle and pop when his players mess up on a play but throwing an opponent onto the track 10 yards out of bounds we saw nothing and heard crickets. He condoned that method of retribution. Hummm

Oh wow, now it is making sense. I remember when York did not show up for a game because of so-called “personal reasons.” If he was suspended for the game for fighting with another coach, that’s not personal reasons. Sheesh, you can never believe anything in the press anymore.
