32. don’t think UH ‘lost out’ on her. She chose Utah for a variety of reasons and it didn’t seem as if UH was recruiting hard.
as for Roth, was going to be a walk-on Listed at 5-11

Wahine will add a 6-2 walk-on OH next year. From California. once I talk to the mom can tell you more.

I thought the red cards at the SSC was well done, subtle and showed the level of understanding that Hawaii fans have about the game. It wasn’t like they were putting them up every play. Only came out when Gimmillaro argued something.
Have witnessed far worse at other venues, including anti-Semitic and anti-Hawaiian slurs.

Ditto from me turf war, she seems so happy. I far as winning the BW, if we don’t sweep this weekend we won’t go far in the “Big Dance” anyway.

Mahalo to Tako and Maverick. That seemed like such an odd recruiting story from the get go. Glad that she found a place to play.

Tongo, as I mentioned in another post. I felt it was in poor taste for Hawaii fans to be showing the red card. We still need to respect BG as the coach of Long Beach State.

41. Very well said…I’m surprised that he hasn’t gotten more red cards over the years…

39. BG is definitely a talented coach, but his teams over the years have been a direct reflection of his fiery, often confrontational style. He often pushes the envelope in terms of conduct, and in the second meeting between LBSU & UCI, his behavior likely cost his team the BW championship…

The red card thing was a one-off I’m sure, not to be repeated within the usually mild-mannered SSC. But BG left himself wide-open to it, due to his long hx of mocking, baiting, and berating along the sidelines. It’s common to wonder before each match how far he’ll take it this time, and bet on the over/under on yellow cards. Lots of metaphors apply to such behavior, the one the springs first to my mind is ‘you reap what you sow’. Everyone across the conference and across the years has witnessed it, experienced it, and not to anyone’s credit, come to expect it. I credit BG for being an excellent coach and having had many successes, but I found myself feeling sorry for his players this year, being subjected to BG’s behavior and the victims of it. An odd feeling, to feel sorry for Long Beach’s women volleyball players. I found yesterday a picture that LBS posted on their website yesterday that shows their players in full frustration at what I presume was BG’s red card call versus Irvine, but it could have been taken at just about any of their matches. Of course, almost any team could have such a picture taken of them at some point in the season. But what coach and their SID would post it on their website? It seems to show a sense of pride is being instilled in displaying protest against calls, which is an odd thing to promote in your volleyball program.
