Funny how the first three articles on the online subscription is all about the Warriors. Tasi, it’s time you create a blog outside the SA bias and report true facts about all UH athletics.

I hope Rolo has ignored all of the “bad” press and is mentally ready additionally I hope has his troops are ready for battle tonight.

SA misreported this and used the harshest, non-objective language possible in their initial reporting. What kind of crap is this? i am going to cancel my subscription. it isn’t like they’ve done a great job covering football this season, anyway. Cover 2 and other outlets have been doing a better job than them, anyway.

In reply to Xandersdad. Xandersdad, No censorship here. I had to manually approve your comments when I just saw them because the website flagged you are a first-time commenter, at least from that email address.

Watched the video clip (thanks 18 Juji). Although a little difficult to follow, it sure looked like the guy in black shoved Aquino, not Rolo. SA has it wrong.

Watch the video. The claim of an assault by Coach Rolovich is clearly bogus. And the guy who did push Aquino toward the sideline, causing Aquino to fall to the ground, ran back toward him after the fall in an apparent effort to help him regain his feet — which turned out to be unnecessary since Aquino jumped right back up and scambled off the field. I can understand the SA feeling it needs to support its employee, but rushing to publish this story without corroborating evidence was poor journalism and beneath the standard the SA should set for itself. The newspaper owes Coach Rolovich and the university an apology.

Editors at SA a bunch of clowns for running with this stupid story and afraid to put their names on it. No charges pressed, no lawsuit = no story.

25–I’m not saying Rolo didn’t touch the guy, I’m saying he didn’t “assault” him, an unfortunate choice of words the SA elected to use in its headline. The story makes it sound like Rolo singled out Aquino and went after him with malicious intent. It appears from the video that Rolo was just trying to clear the field of those who shouldn’t have been there, both players and at least four photographers. My guess is Rolo called to apologize to Aquino because he either was told that Aquino had fallen after he was pushed by another UH staffer or because he swore at Aquino a second time, at least according to the SA’s report. Bottom line, if Aquino had stayed on the sidelines there would be no story.

The world “assault” is pretty strong. Assault is a physical attack. There was no intent to inflict harm to Aquino. The facts are he is not allowed on the field of play, ever. He mentions that he has done so in the past without incident. This does not change the point that he is still in violation of the rule. This is the very reason the rule is in place, safety.
