@ Paul Honda. Sacred Hearts’ Inter team wasn’t too good. Their JV was okay. They have a girl named Tehiwa who got called up from JV to Varsity. From what we seen at the JV level, she might be the best. She went for 10 and 12 a couple times at varsity after she got called up.

I also think the best coaches in the ILH are either Hogue at SHA or Furtado at Maryknoll.

I find it hilarious that you cannot shoot down any of my points. But then again, I am guessing you struggle to comprehend scholarly writing, haha. I mean look at what you have contributed to this post.

“Is there a benefit to making the same complaint about Punahou over and over?”

“As far as the rankings go, there aren’t 18 teams better than the top D-2 teams.”

“It’s nice that we agree it’s pointless. Cheers.”

Your posts max out at 16 words, haha.

I challenge you to dispute what I wrote in my post. I am thinking you cannot which is why you resort to you lame attempt at a question.”

Iolani had more than enough talent to win. Their problem is one player pounds the ball too much and isn’t dynamic. She can score but her game isn’t diverse enough to get others shots and make them better. Their rotation is whack. Rumors have it that the coaching staff plays favorites. If they want to reach the next level, they need a new coach. That won’t happen, not to the son of legendary Glenn Young. Even though coaches in their boys and girls program are eyeing that job up.

Punahou is just a mess. Over the past 4-5 years they have had Taliaferro, Robinson, Velasco, Kam, and now Kuehu.

Taliaferro got replaced mid-season after incident on Kona along with some member of his staff.

Robinson (who was hired mid-season to replace Taliaferro) was so bad that parents complained until she wasn’t retained.

Velasco won a state title, but struggled with the duties of running their entire program. His top assistant was removed by the athletic department after “rumors” of potential lawsuits due to an abusive personality.

Then they brought in Kam who got run out of Mid Pac and never won more than 1 game in league play over 3 years in the ILH. Kam “resigned” 1 month ago due to numerous parent complaints. She has her coaching responsibilities lessened, thus losing respect and control of her team.

And finally they replaced her with Kuehu, a girl who has never coached basketball at any school. And under Kuehu, Punahou has only beaten Sacred Hearts while losing to the rest of the world.

And now the program is pretty bare.
