But USC does not have the same fan, school and community supports like Hawaii. Sure....Ah Mow or any coach can go to USC and earn some extra money but their program will be an afterthought with no TV, newspaper or radio coverage. At USC, volleyball is just another minor(Olympic) sports. In Hawaii, it have big time media coverage and big time support. Being part of a program that can galvanized the community is something you want your program to be. Everybody in town talk Wahine/Warrior volleyball when they do good. In Los Angles, nobody cares. There is more money sure, but a lot of it is the prestige of coaching in the PAC12 which might be a big deal for a mid major conference coach. Cost of living here is also a factor, especially if like Wolf mentioned you've got a bunch of mouths to feed. If Robyn were to get the USC HC position, it would be the first time where a USC HC addresses the LA press in fluent pidgin english Lol.

I cannot imagine Ah Mow or Ljunquist coaching anywhere outside of Hawaii. Barring any personal reasons, I'd think Ah Mow is a long-term coach for UH TBH. Same with Ljunquist unless she feels the need to go to back to Sweden and focus on her career.
Baxter on the other hand, he has the potential to be a great DI head coach and move up the pipeline. Plus, he didn't play for UH so I'd assume he has less connections to the program and even Oahu, as he's actually from Kauai. The guy loves this program tho, but I can't imagine him remaining an assistant coach at UH forever. He has a great feel for recruits and also the modern-day game. He's someone to look out for, a BWC or mid-major school would pick him up as a head coach and he'll then have the opportunity to go up the chain. He'd be an upgrade as a head coach for more than half of the BWC school as is lol. Very great mind for the game, someone with his best coaching days ahead.
This is all just my thoughts tho. Who knows!

The Big10 libs SHOULD be the ones you think to go after but where you’re coming from program wise doesn’t always mean as much when it comes to the defense specialist position.

I watch a lot of B1G volleyball. I don't think any of the ones in the portal are better than what we have now.

NO Yvonne Soupman, that was just tongue in cheek, following what 808empath, mentioned.

Exactly, no offense to her but Hill in particular played club/HS in my area and there was never a time watching her that I thought “Thats Penn State’s next Libero” lol If Fleck does pick Texas, Iosia decommit and come on over! Lol

Definitely did not look like Byrd at all. It was an African American girl tho with a nose ring and I think dreads? She was wearing UH apparel, but we all know ow that doesn't mean anything lol. Saw a quick video of the three on TV during the men's basketball game. I think somewhere between half time.
