17. i was joking. as in all female sports writers look alike as we know ‘-)
but can’t count the number times that I’d be at the press table and people came down and starting calling to me. Ann, Ann … I didn’t turn around. Someone next to me said I think they want to get your attention. Got up, said hello and said, “I’m not Ann.’

18. It’s Deitre. they also won in 83
Ljungquist was the program’s first four-time All-American.

19. It was Theocharidis who was declared ineligible, not Milodinovic.

20. yes.

21. Program never put on probation. it was penalized because Theocharidis was found to have played on a pro team while an amateur. Although he never took money.

Still bothers me that in other sports, college kids can play in pro-ams, such as golf, which is obviously playing with professionals. Or Isaac Fotu playing for New Zealand against Pros in Asia.
Feel that if UH would appeal the volleyball title vacated that they would win, given the change in the feeling towards pro-ams these days.
Theocharidis was not stripped of his All-American awards, only the title was vacated. Rich Sheriff still has the one that was hanging up in his office.

MPSF of which Dejan Milodinovich 6-7 MB was a part of and on the team. According to news reports then, an ineligible player was found to be Dejan. Reports then on Kaleo Newspapers were cited as not making the grades or the information on Dejan was not accurate or known. Forfeit was in order. A big blow then for the program. Under suspension or probation status and not qualified NCAA division I team.

10. Men’s side, they got their national title stripped because Dejan Milodinovich was only 6-7 MB. That is considered a small team. 2000 or 2001 or 2002, they had it taken away. Coach Mike Wilton was not known by Dejan.

10. Only one all time greats of the game. 1982 Deidre Collins, National title. Others, who cares?

Cindy – oh man, I didn’t mean it like that … Just meant I’ve read so many articles over the years that I can’t keep any of it straight. Didn’t mean to offend …. The article on Robyn was cool to see again. Reminds you of the tremendous sacrifice and commitment she made to team USA given her children and family situation. And the role her mom played in all that.

Another reference to the accident in a story by Grace Wen, who was covering the Wahine during the time I was sports editor of the Star-Bulletin and a couple years after.
