Pulled up on the aft deck pool last week with my SMU cap on, this huge dude says hey! You got our coach! We started some friendly banter and tipped back a couple.
Ki said that a lot of people were very angry about June leaving Hawai. Not at June, but the administration because they would not give him the money he wanted for his assistant coaches and the facilities. I think this says a lot about our coach. I got the impression that he would love to have Coach Jones back, and that the majority of fans in Hawaii felt the same way
I thought it was interesting that the former name for Hawaii was the “Rainbowsâ€. Apparently June did not like the negative gay reference that it had, and changed to the Warriors. This was widely accepted as a positive step in the program..
