Is it? Has Kupono even been coaching since the end of his pro career or in between seasons? He has coached club. He knows the game. He knows the system. He is a great person. That translates well for a young coach who will have Milan to mentor him. This is the type of hire you want for your 2nd assistant. Ok i didn’t know he had been coaching club, that makes me a lot less nervous about the hire.

I guess working as an engineer at Nan Inc is not what it cracked up to be. He has only been working there for over a year and is ready to leave that field already.
Either that or missed volleyball so much that he is willing to give up money to pursue coaching.

Josh was a part of the staff for a very long time and I expect Milan and Charlie to be around for awhile. If Fey was going to get an opportunity it had to be now. I'm sure the engineering opportunities will always be there for Fey if coaching doesn't work out- especially as a local UH player. I do see him as someone who'd want to coach one day.

Yeah I think Fey believes now is the time while that opportunity at UH presents itself. Being UH former player I know many of them in many sports that have gotten great jobs because of the connection as a former Bow. He could find a job easily in his field if he decides to pursue it again later on.

It was announced in the transfer thread (and I'm not sure how legitimate it is), but apparently, Jack Walmer is transferring to UCSB

Seems like Walmer doesn’t share Joe Worsley’s level of competitiveness but I understand wanting the chance to play right away.
Hopefully this is a wake up call to Charlie for next season to get his future setters more meaningful game time throughout the season and not just in emergency.

Not trying to bash on him but to me he seemed weak e.g. Not a great jumper, slow and not physically strong. Whatever the case is though, best of luck to him.

He is a solid setter, better than the UCSB backup(sorry Greg) and fits perfectly in their style of whole team defense and taking what they can on the block, consistent flat jumpserve. I think he makes them more competitive and could have a surprisingly good season.
