Menehune warrior with the spear 🤙 It’s Rainbow Wahine, Bozohead! The menehune mascot is not a good representation for the Rainbow Wahine. I know that! Just stating what I like. Didn’t say they should use it. Bozo! Lol 😂

I don't think those hats are homemade knitted items because I think I see tags and labels.

I don't think those hats are homemade knitted items because I think I see tags and labels. Probably a winter hat that someone slapped the UH logo on.

Someone mentioned Ah Mow's pidgin and the fact that she's not as eloquent as other DI head coaches, I don't mind and I don't think it matters that much to players and parents. I've never worked with anyone who speaks Hawaii pidgin. I worked with many bosses who all spoke eloquently and I can tell you that eloquence is not that important in a leader/boss. The most important things are:
1. sense of fairness -- you're being treated with utmost fairness relative to other members of the team 2. vision -- they have a crystal clear vision and goal of the entire outfit. They're also able to communicate that with you. Did your boss say they want to be #3 in the conference or #1? Do you share that same vision and goal? 3. empathy -- I suppose this can be lumped together with fairness but I've never respected a boss who had no empathy or feelings for his underlings 4. realistic expectations -- have they communicated their expectations of you? What are the consequences if you fail to satisfy expectations? We had annual (sometimes semiannual) performance reviews. Everything is outlined in great detail. 5. intelligence -- regardless of their eloquence, you should be able to tell if your boss is smart or not
I'm sure there are other qualities, but these are the only ones that were important to me.
Regardless of eloquence, I've had my share of shiitty bosses as well as spectactular bosses. It's not about eloquence.

Did you know that people from Hawaii laughs about how certain people from the mainland speaks.... Especially if you're from the say like Texas or Alabama.... I should know, cause I've been laughed at while living in the states during my child hood born in Hawaii and moved to the mainland. Going to school, I got laughed at the way I spoke in Pidgeon. So I think Robyn can speak kany way she wants I understand her, that all matters...

Hawaii’s Robyn Ah Mow named region’s top volleyball coach By Cindy Luis 12/11/19 Honolulu Star-Advertiser CRAIG T. KOJIMA / CKOJIMA@STARADVERTISER.COM Hawaii volleyball coach Robyn Ah Mow greeted a fan during a sendoff for the team at the Stan Sheriff Center on Tuesday. The Rainbow Wahine departed for Madison, Wis., for their NCAA tournament match against Nebraska on Friday.
As a player, Robyn Ah Mow’s decorated career included three Olympics, international professional awards and two All-America selections as Hawaii’s setter. On Tuesday, the recognition for Ah Mow as a coach continued with her second honor in three weeks. The Big West Co-Coach of the Year was named Pacific North Region Coach of the Year by the American Volleyball Coaches Association, making her eligible for the national award, which will be announced next week. Joining her third-year coach on the all-region list was senior setter-hitter Norene Iosia, the Big West Player of the Year and one of 14 on the first team. Rainbow Wahine freshmen Hanna Hellvig and Amber Igiede were among the six honorable mentions. Hawaii had no selections last season, a first in the 37-year history of the national awards. Emily Maglio was a first-team honoree as a senior in 2017. Retired Wahine coach Dave Shoji earned 11 regional awards, the last in 2012. Hawaii is 26-3 — the most wins since 2015 — and left Tuesday for its NCAA tournament third-round match in Madison, Wis. The 12th-seeded Wahine play No. 5 Nebraska on Friday. “After we won Saturday, (Ah Mow) told us she continues to learn as well,” Igiede said before Monday’s practice. “She has so many accolades, but for her to say that shows how humble she is.” Hawaii won the Big West title for the first time since 2016, the first under Ah Mow, finishing 14-2. Hellvig was the Big West Freshman of the Year. She and Igiede also were named first-team all-conference, along with Iosia, and made the conference all-freshman team. Iosia leads the Wahine in assists (626), digs (318) and aces (48) with 19 double-doubles. On the program’s career lists, she is No. 2 in aces (139), No. 8 in digs (1,162) and No. 9 in assists (3,129). Hellvig leads Hawaii in kills (342) and Igiede leads in blocks (125) and is second in kills (211). It is the 79th time a Wahine has earned all-region honors. They now have seven honorable mentions. Hawaii is in the same region as the Pac-12 North, West Coast North and Mountain West North teams. Pac-12 champion Stanford dominated the all-region picks with four first-team selections, and runner-up Washington had two, as did Colorado State. The Big West also had Cal Poly junior opposite Maia Dvoracek on the Pacific North first team and UC Santa Barbara senior hitter Lindsey Ruddins on the Pacific South first team for a third consecutive year. Four players with Hawaii ties also were honored. Freshman setter Lexis Akeo (Kamehameha) from Pitt was first-team East Coast and sophomore setter Jhenna Gabriel (Maryknoll) from Texas made the Southwest first team. Utah sophomore setter Saige Ka’aha’aina-Torres (‘Iolani) was first-team Pacific South and Winthrop senior setter Siani Yamaguchi (Kalaheo) was honorable mention in the South. First-team selections are eligible for All-America and regional coaches are considered for national Coach of the Year. Honorable mentions can be considered for honorable mention All-America. Video by Craig T. Kojima The Hawaii women's volleyball left for Wisconsin on Tuesday. The Rainbow Wahine will face Nebraska in the third round of the NCAA tournament. The match starts at 11:30 a.m. Hawaii time and can be viewed on ESPN3.

Ah Mow must be in line for a very nice bonus. I'm not sure of what her clauses are for bonuses...but Big West Champions Coach of the Year Sell Out for Senior night Sweet 16 Regional Coach of the Year From this article in the Star Advertiser: Robyn Ah Mow, women’s volleyball Minimum Best case Win conference 5% 5% BWC Coach of Year 5% 5% First NCAA win 5%* Total 10% 15%* * Rises to 10% if UH participates in regional semifinal, 15% for regional final, 20% semifinal round of NCAA Championship, 25% if it wins the NCAA championship. >> Note: UH has refused to release the amount of Ah Mow’s base salary, disclosing only the salary range ($76,440-$143,472). good catch! i missed this one ... here's the full article, for those who are interested: UH coaches Robyn Ah Mow and Nick Rolovich earn bonuses By Ferd Lewis Dec. 6, 2019 Updated 11:40 am Honolulu Star-Advertiser STEVEN ERLER / SPECIAL TO THE STAR-ADVERTISER Hawaii women’s volleyball coach Robyn Ah Mow, left, and UH football coach Nick Rolovich greeted each other at a Rainbow Wahine volleyball match on Nov. 22 at the Stan Sheriff Center. Both are due bonuses for their teams’ performances this season. Between them, Nick Rolovich and Robyn Ah Mow, the head coaches of the University of Hawaii’s two postseason teams, could put themselves in position this weekend to command more than $175,000 in bonuses for championship seasons. How the Rainbow Wahine do in the NCAA volleyball first and second rounds played today and Saturday at the Stan Sheriff Center, and how the Rainbow Warriors fare in Saturday’s Mountain West Conference championship game at Boise State will go a long way toward determining the size of the bonus checks the school has to write. Rolovich has a base salary of $600,004 and, with a victory over Boise State and a win in whatever bowl game the Warriors are assigned to, could receive as much as $155,000 in performance bonuses, according to terms of his contract, which was updated in January. Rolovich is already assured at least $95,000, accumulated from being named the MWC Coach of the Year on Wednesday ($20,000), guiding the Warriors to the West Division title ($40,000) and reaching bowl eligibility ($20,000) plus victories over two schools from Power 5 conferences, Arizona and Oregon State ($15,000). Winning the overall MWC title would add another $40,000, and winning the bowl would bring an additional $20,000. Ah Mow has already qualified for a bonus of at least 10% of her base salary by winning the Big West and being named conference Co-Coach of the Year. With victories Friday and Saturday on into subsequent regionals, the bonuses could rise to 15% or more. It is more difficult to quantify Ah Mow’s payout because UH has refused to release the details of Ah Mow’s salary under state open records requests, saying it is “not subject to disclosure” since she is represented by the HGEA. Rolovich, who is also represented by the HGEA, earlier this year permitted the release of his contract details. The Board of Regents lists the salary range for Ah Mow’s position at $76,440-$143,472. According to provisions of her contract, if Ah Mow were making $120,000, she would be assured a $12,000 bonus so far, with an opportunity to reach $18,000 if the Rainbow Wahine beat Northern Colorado today. Victories beyond this weekend, should UH advance in a regional, could raise that to $24,000 or more. The last UH football coach to take the Warriors to a championship, Greg McMackin, received $40,000 in bonuses for the 10-4 season and Western Athletic Conference title in 2010. McMackin had a $1.1 million base salary. Dave Shoji, the Wahine volleyball coach in 2010, guided UH to a 29-3 (16-0 WAC) finish and a first-round NCAA tournament victory. He did not receive any bonuses, having previously agreed to waive them in exchange for an increased base salary ($179,328) toward his eventual high-3 retirement.

I've never worked with anyone who speaks Hawaii pidgin. I worked with many bosses who all spoke eloquently and I can tell you that eloquence is not that important in a leader/boss.

If the pidgin bothers a recruit, they wouldn't likely fit in at Hawaii anyway.
Also, how could you not love a coach who is totally blunt and says stuff like: "They're as good as @#$@#!" about an opponent lol. I would fall out of my chair if Russ Rose or John Cook said anything like that.

Most regions of our country have their own unique version of pidgin english. No big deal. I'm from the Midwest and I picked it up pretty quick. These green yarn caps are great...it will give the predominately RED Madison regional a holiday flare.

I have spoken with her many times. I do not perceive she speaks any differently than other people. She is soft spoken but her english is quite clear to me. My kids have been around her since they were little and have never mentioned or perceived anything either. This is a complete non issue. People are over analyzing their own perception. If "pidgin" refers to telling people the honest truth and holding people accountable for their performance, then it would be my preferred language.
