Here we go again. UH is broken, people in charge are so concerned about their paychecks than rather doing their jobs properly. How can whoever that is in charge let that many lights go out. I bet in their office not the same number of lights are out?. We can’t get new facilities until we can maintain the ones we have. Even in the arena last year a restroom door we broken for over 3 weeks no ones ever checks?. We need to have people who really care about their jobs to do a good job. I was really amazed when I went OSU and saw how they took pride in their stadium. After 100,000 people were there a few days before. Everything was clean and neat. We can’t even do that right now. Hopefully Matlin read your article and those lights get fixed right away if not then we do have the wrong person there. He needs to change the culture that is there if he doesn’t care who will. We need new people there and it starts from the top. We have 3 now 2 Asst AD’s and nobody walks the facilities?. I know its not their sole responsibility but they can make sure minor things like this get fixed and once they care about it then everyone will do a little more. It takes a lot more money to fix a major item than to keep the minor ones fixed. UH’s problem goes farther than just money.

Hossana majority of your post are cheap shots at people and I’m supposed to believe that you know for a fact that maybe the most used facility at the UH athletic complex can’t afford light bulbs. You believe what you want and I’ll believe what I want.

Don’t expect to hear anything from Gib other than Mahalo for the money cuz that is what it is all about for Gib. Too bad UH didn’t realize it until too late. Another costly lesson for UH. So has coach Ganot finalized a contract yet? Maybe legislature should ask to see that wrapped up before doling out another 16 million to UH.

I’m hoping Coach Ganot decides to hold the scrimmage on October 23rd, immediately following the 7:00 p.m. Wahine basketball scrimmage (which perhaps could be moved up to 6:30 p.m.). That would make for a fun evening at the SSC.

Was it stated that UH are dropping any supposedly charges that they had against Arnold dropped in this settlement? However there will be no public apology?

Arnold make a public statement and apologize to your players and coaches for any of your shortcomings and ineptness in this saga due to the mental anguish and experience they had to endure and at the same time ask for forgiveness because you as the head coach was responsible in a way however little. I am sure there are a few that a personal contact needs to be done also, if not already done.

The NCAA waited this long to meet with the parties, WHY? UH needed to figure out a plan to settle this mess that people no longer with the school were responsible for. Only time the leaders of UH is irresponsible is when they no longer work for the school. Chancellor become a former employee.

Did they not say (administration) that things like this (minor upkeep) like not having soap will be a thing of the past never to happen again. Pathetic.

In defense of the employees who is responsible the bulbs are there however no where to be found is the machine that lifts one to those heights.

However excuses after excuses is the mantra of irresponsibility.

money….its not the facility manager that’s responsible but the BOR to ensure that there are monies available for such needs…..if the facility mgr. does not have the money to purchase these lights….are you willing to donate??? don’t go blaming and making generalizations before you know the whole story……..geez!!

Peeked in the gym tonight before the Wahine volleyball game and the dark dim gym is the first thing I noticed. How can the UH facility manager let that many lights be out? There’s got to be more than money involved. Sheesh just get it done and replace the bulbs! Pathetic management. Who the heck is responsible for this most basic of needs?
