No worries? It has come to my attention that you may be the lackey for kalani. Is this true? No one should denigrate these young ladies who are better than those supposedly coaches and are constantly blamed for the failure that is Kalani coaches. I know who you are as well as you know me. I am Burgla ask about me!

@ M.T u sound like u got something against Coach Wily. Im not from Kalani or Kahuku but I follow scoringlive and hawaiiprep. How do you know how many players getting looked at? Bringing up those 3 girls who go offers already like it changed the outcome of the game or something. That’s too funny. What kind of coach loses by that many points you asked? Did you consider the team was young and still trying to figure themselves out? That is the point of preseason, expose teams to the competition so they can work. Look at the progress and how far they’ve come. It’s a shame how much credit you dont want to give. It’s not about you, it’s about the teams and their progress. I dont see no shade coming from Coach Wily. Watching this game was awesome. The two teams definitely made it seem like a championship game. Let these girls enjoy their moment. They did it with their so-called “Star Player” who left out the blues. That girl was LAST SEASON , she didnt contribute to this years season so let’s focus on the ones on the roster now. Kalani and Kahuku were the best teams for this game. Let’s remind ourselves that there can only be one winner. Best of luck to both teams in the State Tournament. And to the girls who already got their offers to the next level, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! YOU DESERVE IT!

Coaches as well as officials are fair game because they have a direct affect on the game and their players. They practice and play all season long so at some point coaching has to be the reason for winning and losing. Unless an official screws one team and rewards another;thus fair to be criticized. Coach Wily did more with less while Kalani did less with more.

People talk about coaches on here. How is a player supposed to play without a coach. Coaching is a hard job. Kalani girls was walking all over the court while Kahuku’s girls were diving for each ball. They wanted it more for themselves,their coach and community. You can be a great coach but if you’re players are acting like babies, they’re not really coachable. Is that still on the coach? #CongratsKahuku

@Burgla aren’t you a kalani guy? Seemed like the kalani girls have no respect for the coach. Every time out there not even paying attention to him and having a good yell. That’s sad cuz he’s wasting his talent.

@M.T you sound really envious of Coach Wily.

How can you say she’s not a great coach??? You talk about OIA is weak but yet kalani is ranked top 5. Kahuku beat them twice! Beat em once at home, then again with all there starters, Kamalu dropped 21, and kahuku still found a way to win.

Kalani and all these ILH teams are full of club/year round ballers. Kahuku has maybe 2 at the most that play year round. The rest of the girls play basketball only during basketball season.

Tell me what non great coach as u say can take a group of girls like this, that she has limited time to work with, get them into shape, mold them, get them to buy into her system and into their roles, beat two top 5 ranked teams, undefeated in league play and win a OIA championship???…I’ll wait
(Mind you this is all after losing there best player, all state fab 15 forward/center)

Watch the game again, watch their fans, their bench, heir coaching staff, watch the pride, passion, heart and discipline! Maybe you can learn something!

And with those 3 future college players they still lost. That’s called GREAT COACHING. Going 14-0 in the regular season and beating the #4 team in the State TWICE is called GREAT COACHING. You highlight Kahukus PRESEASON record of 1-4 but fail to realize the purpose of PRESEASON games. Yes they loss to Mid Pacific, who are currently at the bottom of the ILH but in that same PRESEASON they beat Kamehameha, who is currently playing for 1st place in the ILH. You switch the Kalani and Kahuku coaching staff and Kalani wins the OIA cause like the announcer stated during the game “ her kids would run through a brick wall for her”. That’s called GREAT COACHING.

88 sounds like a whiner and physically inferior to other posters. He can’t even guarantee that an OIA team, with the league’s SIX tourney slots, will even make the finals. Thanks.
