| Introduction | Became an accidental coach in 1981-82, at 16, when I was asked to coach my brother's 11-12 team at Boys Club of Honolulu. We won the title, woohoo! Since then, I've coached a JV team (Kaimuki 1999-2000) and KAC 11-12 (2000), as well as Pupule Ohana (men's league, exhibition team against high school teams) 1991-98 with VIctor McDaniel (who has run the league since). Also ran the Pupule Ohana men's league '91-98, Big Island Ghetto Jam halfcourt tournament ('91-98) with Vic and refereed youth leagues (ILH intermediate summer, Kona P&R) over the years. Coaching the Thunder is my first time on the bench in a decade, but it's also been so much fun! When I'm not playing or coaching basketball — which I cannot deny is an incurable addiction — I cover high school sports for the Star-Advertiser. I've been writing about sports since high school, and I've gotten paid for it since 1990. I've enjoyed every minute of it. Well, almost all of it. |
