One of my prouder moments in my career and it had nothing to do with being win 1. Challenged a new team with a tough 4 game road trip to open. Took a couple L’s on the chin, regrouped and put our best performance together, then grinded out another the next night.

It’s going to be a long process for real change. I don’t have the answers but two simple things would be a great start. 1) Everyone live true ALOHA for one another. Don’t just talk it. 2) VOTE. Put people in place starting from the top that will make systematic change and reform.

The Sharks pulled off the improbable last night. HPU trailed by 7 points with 45 seconds left. The next sequence of events included a few free throws, a key offensive rebound, forced turnovers, and two DEEP threes from senior Jalen Chandler to win the game.
