Interesting that Robyn released the Wahine Team's 2024 schedule, but NOT the 2024 Wahine Roster.

I'm hoping for good things from Tali. I generally liked how she did during her freshman campaign and enjoyed her aggressive demeanor on the floor. A standout week of play for her was the UCI/Fullerton trip where she played on the outside and showed off an improving all-around game.

I agree with you that it was somewhat weird to hear Tiff field questions as if he is on the coaching staff.

I guess some don’t understand how media works. Tiff is now one of the media volleyball specialist in the state of Hawai’i along with the other UH Spectrum volleyball media experts. He knows UH volleyball as did his mother and Ann before him. KHON is going to cover Nā Wāhine as the season unfolds, including as many coaching staff they can arrange interviews for. Media day is weeks away, technically they cannot specifically comment on the upcoming season and players in detail. However, Tiff could to some extent as a part of the media. Think of this as teaser one of many to come. Trying to line up interviews are challenging with scheduling conflicts.

Isn't wahine youth camps going right now too? I think the coaches are extremely busy with camps, getting ready for preseason workouts, and maybe even finalizing an addition or two to the roster.
Most wahine fans should know by now that this staff is not going to do many interviews unless required. That is just the way they operate. Some might not like that approach and would like the coaches to be more media friendly but they are who they are. We just got to accept it. Robyn is who she is.

They all dressed to workout with their knee pads and all so I’m guessing they worked out after all the Keikis leave.

She would do well to be more media friendly and she knows this too. I agree. I mean look at what Coach Wade has done with the men's team. If she doesn't like talking to the public than have one of your assistants do it. It's to keep the public/fand engaged. As a long time Hawaii volleyball fan/spectator, the lack of media revolving around the Wahine team leaves me not feeling it this year. In years past I was excited/ecstatic for the season. Now it's just ok, they released the schedule, wake me up when the roster is posted or the coaching staff post something to social media or have an interview with a sports analyst on one of the news station. 😮💨😪😵💫😵🫠

I can't recall seeing Tiff or his mother field questions like this but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Just weird lol As fans of this program, perhaps we could look at this one TV sports teaser as a sports news Director in this case Rob DeMello looking to finish his story about the new schedule coming out with a quote from a media person who happens to cover the sport locally in this case tiff who is the ESPN Honolulu radio, announcer, and analyst for UH Manoa volleyball both men and women. I’m sure when pressed for a easy source, Rob reached out to tiff and asked him about the schedule. I don’t think there’s anything else to read into it, if I needed to fill my story, I would look to the media specialist who I know to give me something to close out the story. Tiff knows how much he can say and how much he cannot say because he is not , the media rep for UH. And even though we may know the same or more than tiff does as far as rumors or possible leaks, we are not privy as a media professional to information that was obtained directly from the source.

Just weird lol cindy luis has done it a few times while a reporter. i remember her appearing on bobby curran's show to talk wahine volleyball. it's not uncommon for journalists to use other journalists (as experts) as a source like this. this happens on espn all the time, and even generally on the 24-hour news cycle channels like cnn and fox.
