A-A honors for Iwata, Ricketts

From UH:

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—University of Hawai’i softball players Jessica Iwata and Stephanie Ricketts were named to the 2011 Easton All-America second and third teams respectively on Tuesday. It is the first All-America honors for both players.

Here’s a link to the full story: Wahine softball.

* * * * *

DJ Armbrust has been in this position before, which is to say he understands being in limbo.

After spring training, Armbrust did not receive an invitation to training camp nor to join the Warriors when the roster expands on the first day of the fall semester.

But Armbrust, a receiver who was on the Warriors’ scout team in 2010, continues to train and watch videos. He said he hopes to be summoned if  there is an opening on what eventually will be the 120-player roster.

“I love the sport,” Armbrust said.

And if there is no opening this season, he will try again in the spring.

It is that determination that helped Armbrust eventually earn a spot on the 2010 training-camp roster after initially being omitted.

* * * * * *

I supposed it is considered due diligence, but each UH coach had to go through a background screening before being allowed to participate in summer camps.


* * * * * *

A significant difference between the major leagues and NFL/NBA is that draft position does not equate to a certain salary range. UH’s Kolten Wong should receive a better signing bonus than last year’s 22nd pick, Kellin Deglan, a catcher from Canada. Deglan was selected as a high school senior by the Texas Rangers; Wong is a college junior who has proven he can hit at a higher level. Deglan received a $1 million signing bonus. He was the first  2010 first-rounder to sign a contract.

    The MWC just made 2 significant decisions:

    Exit fee of $5 mil plus the last year’s conference revenue. They didn’t have an exit fee before, so Utah/BYU/TCU paid nothing to leave. However, all a school has to do is notify the conference by June 30 of the previous year and they will pay no exit fee (but they still lose the final year’s conference revenue).

    They will play *8* conference games. That really will help BYU schedule games and will let JD look for more nonconference games.

    The league has implemented a buyout penalty for the first time and moved the date for notification of a university’s departure up to June 30 of the previous year. Schools wishing to leave will forfeit their conference revenue share in their final year, as Boise State did in the WAC in 2010-11. Schools that want to leave and notify the conference of their intent after the June 30 deadline will forfeit the final year of revenue and pay an additional penalty of $5 million or the amount of per-school revenue generated by the conference, whichever is greater. This year’s revenue is expected to be in the $3 million to $4 million range per school.

    an eight-game mwc schedule, given the range of travel of its membership is a no brainer. for JD, it is business as usual with 5-ooc games and a continuing opportunity to upgrade our overall schedule and program and increase revenues. positive-impact decision by the mwc for hawaii.


  25. al June 7, 2011 10:08 am

    congrats linsky. that’s some good money at round 2. i hope tampa bay has the deep pockets to come up with at least a half mil.

    and blair walters in the 11th to the sox is good.

    looks like we may see a couple three other warriors plucked in the draft.

  27. Ralph June 7, 2011 10:34 am

    Thank you coach Roy for the many years of guiding our Na Wahine Water Polo team to national prominence and in making Hawaii a National power. I wish you and your family well and I know the Canadians will be getting back one of their elite coaches.

    Okay Jimbo, you’ve made a bold move, now you and your selection committee got to come up with a coach that can recruit and compete in a very tough conference. You say it’s not about the wins and losses, or are you subliminally expressing the UHAD position that it’s a women’s sport, it’s non revenue, so no big deal, we’ll field a team.

    I hope the international players from Canada and the Netherlands return to compete for Hawaii, as well as the Californians.

    Academics can’t be an issue, four were named conference all academic.

    And to Blair Walters.


  29. Kazz June 7, 2011 10:37 am

    At first, I found it “unsettling” to see that the successful Rainbow Wahine Water Polo head coach Michel Roy is leaving UH on “un-even” terms.

    As Jim Donovan was quoted in the paper, “it wasn’t about the wins and losses”… Lord knows there were WAAAYYYY more wins than losses and the national perception of Wahine water polo spoke for itself with their numerous Top 5 rankings and NCAA final four appearances.

    “I believed it was time to make a change,” UH athletics director Jim Donovan said. “Obviously it wasn’t about W’s and L’s. It was other issues.”

    Jim Donovan eluded to perhaps something involving the representation of the program locally and maybe nationally in other areas under Roy’s tenure, but remained vague.

    What is it?

    When a coach with Roy’s success at UH doesn’t have his contract re-newed, how can one not find it unsettling?

    DÉJÀ VU???????????????

    Now, I have no idea what the underlying issues are or were, but if they extended to issues outside the pool then it is what it is, however, if the true reason lies within the efforts of his staff and program, then some BIG questions need to be asked and Jim Donovan’s expectations of this program should be clarified publically and furthermore, where is the consistency across the board??? Not going to specify and single out programs, but FACT is some of our revenue-producing programs would KILL to have their equivalent success in their respective sports over the last five years.

    HOWEVER this sheds SOME light on the possible situation:

    Donovan would not elaborate on the issues that convinced UH not to renew Roy’s contract. He did say the qualities UH is looking for in a new coach go far beyond wins and losses, focusing on the way players and coaches represent the state and work within the athletic department.

    “They have to live up to our mission statement, which is to teach these young women to be successful in life and all the skills necessary for that,” Donovan said. “That includes improving their education and how to be part of a bigger team — the athletic department team — and how to represent the state of Hawaii in and out of the pool. Coaches have to do the same thing and they understand that. They should be a source of pride for our state. It’s not only wins and losses, but how they conduct themselves.

    But again, just on the surface it’s interesting nonetheless.


  30. d1shima (Aria'd) June 7, 2011 10:38 am

    Good Luck to all the walk-ons. Keep the dream alive!


  31. Kazz June 7, 2011 10:41 am

    Ralph,

    The academics indeed are not an issue, as is the typical case for most Rainbow Wahine programs at UH, but that last paragraph I quoted from Ann Miller’s article suggests other “issues”?


  32. al June 7, 2011 10:58 am

    read between the lines.

    look for the subliminal messages.

    something that cannot be measured in wins or losses.

    nor would the graduation rate or gpa bare any reason.

    here’s a thought…go ask the current miss hawaii.


  33. al June 7, 2011 11:05 am

    just trust jd that those issues were significant enough to warrant his actions.


  34. gigi-hawaii June 7, 2011 11:07 am

    Did you read the article about the S-A’s success in its 1st year?

    Towards the end of the article, it is stated that readers of the ONLINE paper will be charged and this will be implemented late this summer.

    We will have to pay to read the Warrior Beat.

    Wonder how much.

    Not necessary.

    Again, in re-reading the article by Ann Miller and looking at Jim Donovan’s quotes it is becoming more and more clear what it isn’t for sure.

    It’s done and here’s to hoping for continued success for this program that has done UH proud.

    Al did the Miss Hawaii start an water polo games? I need to ask Curt if he got answers to any subliminal messages from Donovan, but on face value, he did a good job in promoting Hawaii as a water polo hotbed, sans local players.

  45. Ralph June 7, 2011 12:16 pm

    what were some of the criteria of Trap’s tenure given by Jimbo that we can use for Roy?

    -be competitive and via for the league championship. WE were nationally ranked

    -teach these women skills to be successful in life. Sports and team work does that, and being in good academic standings furthers their life skills, 4 were all conference academic awardees

    -in fuse local players, none this past season but we did a few years ago. goes in cycles.

    -it’s a non revenue sports so attendance is not a question, but the women had a good following.

    -community service, not sure, the women basketball won the service award but weren’t as successful on the court as the girls were in the pool. Jimbo says its not about the wins and losse, so, that means coach Dana is safe with her job as she enters her last year under her current contract.

    In simple terms, out of state tuition is an arm, a leg, and a maybe another leg for sure.

    In state tuition is obviously more “do-able”.

    The argument of local talent vs mainland/foreign national talent in certain sports can go on for days on end. Some with biases in light of the factual stats and some arguments fall in gray areas.

    We’ve seen the arguments of local football kids being retained at a higher ratio than what it is now and some believe that alone will increase our “competitiveness” and for a sport like baseball some have argued that the simple idea of getting a local kid, MAYBE any local kid with D1 “potential” will be enough to drive fans to the Les based on that alone.

    Other sports that fall outside the “radar” of the mainstream (i.e. water polo, track and field, tennis, etc…) are things I cannot speak of to say that we can win with more local born talent as opposed to exploring mainland and international options.

    Again, it can get into a touchy subject matter and some are passionate about it based on their experiences, based on their biases, or based on BOTH.

    But with regards to water polo, I personally don’t think that the sport’s mainstream popularity or media coverage would have helped much even if the local kid to outside talent ratio favored on the local side, however I do think the local press coverage might have been more than what it has been.

    UH, like all D1 athletic programs will NEVER turn a profit off water polo, tennis, golf, track and field, etc… So now it becomes a question of what the athletic department expects out of those non-revenue programs and truth be told, winning comes at the top of the list, or at least close to it.

    foreign players adds to the athlete’s cultural experience, beyond the academics and playing the game, it is the friendships and life’s experiences that they will remember the most of their time in Hawaii.

    There are two sets of softball All-American teams. Hoku Nohara New Mexico State and Kamehameha Schools was the only WAC player to make the Louisville Slugger/NFPA teams (2nd team). Iwata and Ricketts made the Easton 2nd and 3rd team respectively and Michelle Moses of Fresno State made the 3rd team. Nohara did not make any of the Easton teams despite leading the country in homers and had a .400 plus batting average. Looks like her off-field problem made a difference in the Easton selection.

    I wonder how many mainland and overseas readers they will lose when they go to paid online subscription of the Star-Advertiser? Guess our family will go back to the old-fashioned way of having family members cut out articles once in a while from an actual paper, and send it to us maybe once a month or three. Takes me back some 20+ years, at least. Oh well.


  78. Slugger June 7, 2011 6:21 pm

    I just walked back from UH, but stopped at my garden. [Russian was there earlier, DPK…GRRRRrrrrrr! Glad I wasn’t in the garden then.]

    I think I got to UH a little after 4:35 and there were 31 guys at Ching field. The O-linemen were hitting pads, play called out by the senior players. Some of the D were sitting on the field stretching, mainly jawing. Saw Saui & told him he looked good in that pic from the Kaua’i paper.

    ST ~ I’ll have to have you ID the players I took pictures of. Mohawked hair…I think Masch has a black-white blond streaky do…Vaughn has a little pony-tail? I know Sila was there, Kani, Ben Dew, I think I saw Kana Silva, buncha oddah guys.

    While the MWC’s decision to go with an 8-team conference schedule offers us opportunities to get some quality opponents, I am thinking it might not be a reality.

    Most likely I can see the scenario of 1 BCS school like a UW or WSU. Both of whom I am getting *yawn* of seeing us play…especially Wazzu. Maybe we get the USC and Wisconsin on some lucky years but I doubt we get a Big 10 or Big 12 school on a regular basis. I’d like to see us schedule Cal and the Oregon schools…my wish anyway.


  85. iwonderwhytheyhateme June 7, 2011 7:06 pm

    #85

    Ooops. For some reason it didn’t list the following in my last post.

    Anyway I am thinking that the OOC 5 games will probably be like this. 1-BCS team, BYU, 2 1AA and 1 WAC/MAC/CUSA or switch to 1 1AA and 2 Mid major schools.

    Ideally I’d like to see 2 *Quality* BCS schools (even if 1 is an away only), 1 1AA and 1 Mid major. Again…dreams.

    MysteryPerson,

    It’ll just have to remain a mystery to you… LOL

    Brett Leonard’s beard could compete with SF Giants’ Brian Wilson’s…

    Austin Hansen was out there this afternoon. I think he and another O-lineman were the ones calling out the formations & plays. Who’s Sila’s competition at center this year?

    No receivers or quarterbacks out there when I got to campus.

    gigi,

    I’m glad the Mav’s won, but then I’ve watched Kidd & Marion play for a long time. You shouldn’t give up until the momona wahine sings. Hope you stand behind the Warriors whether they’re winning or losing. Don’t give up! Believe!


  93. gigi-hawaii June 7, 2011 9:11 pm

    Slugger, right on!

    I slept thru the 1st half.

    When I turned the TV on and saw the Mavs behind by 7 pts, I was tempted to turn it off.

    Glad I waited til after they won.

    Too bad Dirk was sick. Hope he recovers by Thursday.

    I see Tony Blair is issuing warnings to the Arab leaders concerning the so-called ‘Arab Spring’. He cites this and he goes on about that but seems to say nothing about what many feel is the real issue; the value of the dollar. For those who don’t know, Hussein was interested in abandoning the petrodollar and demanding that Iraq’s oil be purchased only in Euros, raising the value of the Euro and lowering the value of the dollar. Ghaddafi went one better, proposing that he and other African countries create a new currency, the ‘gold dinar’, and insist that their oil be purchased using only those, thus potentially not so much threatening to lower the value of the dollar as its complete destruction. America’s poodle Tony Blair was happy enough to send British people off to die in Iraq to defend the American dollar, yet curiously there’s not a word about this I can see in his new book, ‘The Journey’. How strange.
