I think , it was posted that FCGU, did not sign agreement with UH to play here on Jan 3 2015.. so UH has to fill that spot right? otherwise they come out with 29 games, one shy of 30 they usually play total before BWC tournament, correct, or not? Would mean Gib has to look for another team, could be anyone of possibly hundreds, however very close to conference play for a lot of schools!

Gib has to fill that Florida Gulf Coast Jan. 3 2014 game, that was mistake I believe, they took it off of the UH Athletics site.
Now interesting, still July 2014, about a little under six months away, who would be willing or able to play that 30th game for Hawaii schedule.

MWC teams, WAC, WCC? How about St Marys, however UH and the covering expense again, however, I am counting now , unless I am wrong, UH only has 29 games, including 16 BWC games, so they lost one… pretty sure Gib scrambling to fill that FGCU puka on Jan 3.
How about Seattle U. with Manroop Clair?

Watching 5 guys freelance while they get outplayed by smaller, less athletic, and usually less talented players in conference play is no fun. The team peaks in the DHC every year and slowly regresses as the season wears on. I don’t want three more years of that.

Also, for all his recruiting success his most consistent PG was on a football scholarship.

That is about as high as you can go, aside from private donor support of Athletics. Gib has made UH MBB exciting even for Abercrombie.. so that is a lot of Big Boy support. And , we wish we had that MBB ohana too. Glad for Gib and the program. Hey, papa, if UH can win more than 20 games, and go NIT/NCAA. even papa will go MAMA MIA, that is one good HC that GIB-BA!! Just jesting!

Seems like a smallish guard, smaller than Harville. Maybe he is really quick and can score inside on floaters and outside 3 ball, like we see on video.

Now is Brocke’s turn. Just have to have fun, relax, and just play ball.
Have a good game Brocke!
The REAL Brocke Stepteau!

You would think that if you win 20 games, the attendance would take care of itself. Unless they play an overly weak schedule. Wait a minute…………

I like the college coaching friendship that Gib has struck up with Jamie Dixon. Jamie, classy HC. One of Riley’s assistants remember? To develop that home and home, a east to far west, rivalry, fantastic. He was the one that saw potential in Isaac Fotu, how he was going to be good. He was right.
If Gib, were a HC Jamie should steer clear of, it sure doesn’t bother him. A great coach like Jamie, can see beyond the obvious. Knows more about ncaa, and BB coaching and protocol then most. He had Tongan part, hapa, 7 footer in Steven Adams of OKC For one year. So tongan, hapa, connection as is Fotu,..When read about communication with Gib and Jamie about setting up games with UH, that was fantastic.
You are right about, some media, don’t know if it is an agenda, I think it is, unless just trying to keep their share of 15 minutes and growing shorter of print fame. Ferd should be helping UH, all sports by upbuilding comments and write-ups. He was good back in the day. Even if UH won the national title, wonder if Ferd would write a great piece about Gib and team..makes you wonder.

Gib has kept real positive through the goings on, ncaa, recruits, walkon craziness, that is a good HC, and having AD and Chancellor, fully supportive. That is key. As I guess, UH admin, and AD, and coach, MBB insiders, know more than we, and maybe some media types.
Brian, is good, close to team and boys, beat writer, and always responds, since not op-ed writer!
Thanks Brian for blog, let’s both sides sound off.
Have to support all UH sports, being alumnus, I have too, this is my home and my ,and 1.4 million others here, THE HOME TEAM UH.
K-Bay… very sharp eyed person, and usually spot on! Keep on posting, I read your write-ups as well!

“Could” Be a Mistake… but as noted above IF The Right “Out” Clauses are in place
should not be a Problem just like Any Prospective ʻNew Hireʻ

BUT as an ʻEffectiveʻ Manager-Leader, BJ, Apple & Company should already Know IF Arnold IS Their Man
Irrespective of NCAA Buffoons (HOW Could they MISS All the other Sportsʻ Student-Athletes Attending the Same Bogus Classes @ @ UNC?) — Leaders DO NOT Let Outside Influences like NCAA OR Blog Snipers and Boo-Birds Color their Evaluations and Decisions…

TELL FERD to Go Help Convince some Big Name ʻDraws” to Come on Down to Suffer a Loss…
Too Many Good Teams (and Coaches) already know itʻs Too Tough to Play Against The Home Team in Hawaiʻi…

Jaimie Dixon is being Generous and Helpful, returning a Gift or Two to Hawaiʻi…

Even Home and Homes are Risks of 50% Losses… Too Low…
BUT i DO think we ʻshouldʻ be able to Attract a Home and Tourney Exchange (Like RC or DHC for Return Visit)

That is what common sense would tell even the seasoned sports fans. Winning makes everyone happy. Gib has won. Some were great wins. Still has to learn , and I think this might be good year, to finish strong in BWC tourney. He has the talent.

Football, that is the sad program. Tough, tough schedule and conference, however Chow has to win, like Jones, Mack, Tomey, Wagner, Dave Holmes,then interest returns. Hope so.

Ben and Tom Apple support Gib, really important. Stablilize the HC’s and work with them to get better. Bottom line, you are right BB fan, winning chases away the naysayers.

How bad our program was then. As far as the Ncaa North Carolina’s problem was far worst that anything that occurred here but they extend Williams contract in a heartbeat. All we have to do is win and all of the blackbirds will disappear.

I think that knowing Gib going to be here with extension opens up a lot of things UH MBB can proceed with now… Probably, Just my guess. UH has to hurry, if going after an assistant, like Sengue Carey, great recruiting asst. coach,.. and DOBA.. they can fill basically until school starts. Like an entry level, but very important position, they work hard, just cannot coach. Would not doubt if Gib has his short list, and right now… working the recruiting circuit for both possible PF and assistant , as well as looking for DOBA. Remember, Hawaii style.. takes long to post their openings, I hope the do it fast!
