Time for change with Hawaii Mens Basketball

Lanikai, Kakaako, Kahala, Hawaii Kai, North Shore, and even Manoa . Rich people live all over the island. Just hire a competitive coach who can recruit already

UH can only afford an economy car head basketball coach. Critics want a Telsa car college head basketball coach. The new coach might be impatient and want to fire everybody. There's no politics in UH sports.

Just not a good team. Participation trophies for players and staff. I have no idea how a D1 school can justify retaining this coach and staff. If Ganot gets his one more year then UH might as well extend him another five years. Obviously no one in the athletic department cares about the program so just keep trucking along. Maybe forget Mountain West and join PAC West

the game has passed Ganot by. I don't think his style is very appealing to the types of players we need to win here. we have enough NIL money to be competitive in the Big West (the MWC is a whole 'nother deal), but his defense-first, inside-out offense is easy to scout by our conference foes, which is why I think we do well enough in the preseason, non-conference part of the schedule.

I love Ganot. I love that he runs a clean program. But he's no longer the guy.

UH can't afford a perfect ten head coach. How about two fives?

Ganot's offense: pass, pass, pass, turnover.

[Treyman]

Turnovers a hallmark of Ganot’s teams. And long scoring droughts. Tells you something right there. Add in the ability of his teams to get worse as the season progresses. And he’s still here to spout the same old coach speak

Lots of quality guys will be networking during March Madness.

Also got guys with ties to the state that could be considered: Phil Handy? Mark Campbell? Brandon Akana? Dave Evans (living in Laie)?

Hope someone is patient to wait until our new AD is hired.

During Ganot's tenure, he has as many The Big West Tournament Championship as Russell Turner of Cal Irvine.

Here's a possible UH basketball head coach.

I can't really pinpoint the faults in Ganot's coaching style. He can recruit but seems to run out of gas at the end of the season. He took the only UH team to win one game in the NCAA but I think it was the grit of the members of the team that was there before he got there. UH beat SJSU this year but ony SJSU made the NIT. None of UH's games are on YouTube so I can't really see successes or failures of what's on the court. No doubt when UH enters the MWC, they are going to have a much tougher time in being competitive and also to stay afloat financially.

Just a thought on men’s basketball after watching tourney. Only P4 teams left to compete for championship. Should there be two tourneys? One for P4 (1A) and one for rest of schools (2A). I don’t know so just throwing it out there there for discussion

The D1 and D2 format works for local high school basketball. March Madness won't have the charm of the small schools upsetting the big schools. But, tradition went out the door in college football with cross country moves of the Pac10 into the Big10.

I think there should be a 68 team NCAA Tournament and a 32 team NIT, and a 32 team CBI/Crown/whatever name they want to call it.

Auto bid to the NIT for all conference champions that don’t make the NCAA Tournament. Power 5 schools (including the Big East) must be .500 or better in conference play to make the NIT as an at large. The remaining field will be at large teams who have .500 or better conference records from non Power 5 conferences.

The other 32 team tournament will be entirely comprised of teams with .500 or better conference records from non Power 5 conferences. This will essentially be a full mid major tourney.

Basically, make it a requirement that you must be .500 or better in conference to be eligible for a postseason at large berth. This will give more mid major schools a chance and stop all the 6–12, 7-11 conference record type of power teams from getting in (SEC this year for example with Georgia and Oklahoma). Give the conference season more meaning.
