Sorry but need to correct perception that last four years under Riley “not so good”. 72-49 record for those four years. A bit better than Gib’s record for four years. And SOS was above average every year. Many are cheering Gib for returning UH to respectability but forget that Riley actually was doing pretty good job. Same record over same time span so, please, no more denigrating of Riley’s last few years. Jmho

I have to give Gib credit for really working 24/7 to better UH MBB. Nash 3 year wash, Wallace, final 4 years or so, not too good. We shall see. Gib is HC, and still winning.

USC head coach where he went?

Manoa Mist: actually gib being able to RECRUIT, even if scramble gamble, without contract, working for free first half of first season here, maybe longer, Jim Donovan and powers that be wanted him. Maybe Punahou connection.

Manoa, you know of any recruiter, and selling of UH NCAA DI MBB program in the country that would work for UH MBB coach at less than 150K a year for 3 years, no incentives? Tough sale.
Gib coach, so we stick with him. Up to Ben Jay and direction.
Manoa, the talent for next year, pretty loaded, credit to Gib and his staff, and contacts.
I hope UH will have great year next season.

Yeah, USC let him go, however Gib produced 72 wins, average of 18 wins, and two pay to play post season tourneys, and Fotu, Negus, Jankovich, Bobbitt, Fleming, Thomas, Valdes, Jovanovich, Jawato, Smith , Nevels, still on board and looking to make run for NCAA’s,

If you all hate Gib, cannot hate him for trying to better UH MBB program, and get to next level.
The guy, and his family are really Hawaii lovers, and UH MBB and UH lovers, got to love the Aloha for Hawaii, that is what makes good coaches at UH, and Gib has won so, far, winning record , at worse .500, season , Johnson got Mono.
