Totally agree about giving RAMS a chance. Right now, we are all going on hearsay.

Just like a student athlete has the right to leave after a coaching change (for whatever reason), an incoming coach has the right to make personnel changes.

And to her defense, RAMS most likely has seen Light play in tournaments on the mainland and has had an opinion if Light would be an athlete she wanted on her team.

A great Aloha Friday to all! If not great yet, please keep working on it.

Again, in the off season, we tend to get our exercise by jumping to conclusions. If you go to the VT site, you’ll see there’s no dependable source or validator of the information. We don’t truly know if she decommitted and/or had her scholarship pulled. Or the reasons, if true. I don’t see any posters on that subject that I recognize as “insiders” to the Hawaii VB program or for Light.

Dave endorsed Robyn. How about giving her at least a season to see what she’s all about. One thing for sure, there are a lot of arm-chair critics on blogs. Look at all the things that were said about Dave through the years.

19. There are around 90 Div III programs and 43 Div I-II programs.

The real issue is that there is no communication with the fans about anything related to the program. RAMS is still not settled in, we have no idea what is going on with the assistants, and very little outreach from the new coach, obviously. However, when RAMS was hired, most folks said they would give her the chance to prove herself, and despite recent events, I think the fans owe at least that much to her. Transitions are difficult.

Just wondering, why does the DIII tournament have 12 teams and the DI-DII tournament only have 6?

17 I agree with you 100%. This situation with Light bothers me the most so i’m holding off my yearly donation to the program.

Not used to reading things coming out from the WVB program like a player decommitting ’cause rumor has it, the offer was “pulled;” Wahine has always been a program that honors its committments. Or, speculation that a player has slid down the depth chart at “this point” of the year, it makes No Sense. Like most fans thought Emma played well last season and would challenge for a starting position. Right now it seems there is more negative PR emerging from the coaching change and may have a significant impact on its image and consequently affect future recruiting. Hope the Coaching staff rights the ship, they say, “perception is that person’s reality.” Comments???

One of the problems with hiring a “local” coach is that the perception of favoritism toward “local” kids could really hurt recruiting. My impression of Robyn is she will play the best person regardless. She has been on the international stage. She knows that she needs to reach out beyond Hawaii to keep the program relevant. The current changes are par for the course with any coaching change. Lets wait to see the product.
