Not his fault that the wrong player was out on the court. However, it was a correctable mistake that should have been caught before the first whistle blew.
Done with the topic.

It was Hironaka’s fault not doing his job, that UH was out of rotation. Out.

46. isn’t that what I said in 38? when talking to someone, actually a coach, about the situation.
someone said earlier that it gave USD a 2-0 lead. Not true. it was a two-point swing, which I also said. echoed by you i
Yes, the down ref didn’t do his job. which was what I also wrote in 38. the coach I spoke to said that, however, the correct decision was made in reversing the score because, ultimately, UH was out of rotation.
I don’t know if there was an option to declare a replay. I would have thought there was.
I’d say yes, book closed.

Cindy, I’m going to state my piece and not mention this issue anymore. Hironaka didn’t do his job of checking the players and shouldn’t have reversed the point for his mistake in the first place. Shoji is correct in that it should have been played over for Hironaka’s not checking and doing his job, not penalize UH for his mistake. No matter it’s still a two point swing in USD favor, compliments of Hironaka. Book closed on this issue and NaWahine sweep the weekend.

Cindy thank for explaining that. Let`s get ready for NMSU tomorrow night and move on. Hope Shoji gets his win and becomes the all time winningest coach. Go Bows!

John, not directed at you per se, but did delete the comment calling for his resignation. don’t think Dan is alone in making poor calls. Dixon comes to mind. The linesmen have been atrocious over the years. Problem is the limited amount of qualified refs here, further limited by those who actually want to do the UH games because of the attention put on them by TV.. They’ve gone through a long certification process.
I do think Hanson is probably the best but she does have problems being the up ref, same with Marvin. Verneda Thomas is really good but … let’s just put it this way, she played in the 1968 Olympics.

@ 38. Cindy not ref bashing just an observation. Hironaka has in the past made some bad calls which tends to stick out. This tendency does get noticed by a lot of fans and coaches. I can`t remember other refs getting the same attention. That`s all. Sorry for making any negative comments just noting what I see as a fan watching the games. I`ll drop it here.

22. BTW, USD did not get a 2-point lead to start Set 5. It was a two-point swing when UH’s point was erased and the point given to the Toreros. Instead of a 1-0 Wahine lead, it was 1-0 USD. It was tied at 1-1 on Hollins’ service error. UH never corrected its play by play which had the Wahine leading 3-0 to start.
