Its Official: Bob Nash named new UH Basketball Coach!
Bob Nash has been named the new head coach of the Unversity of Hawaii Men’s Basketball Team and will get his opportunity to lead the very same university he once played for as a member of the legendary “Fab 5“.
Nash has been on staff with UH for the last 25 years, including being the assistant coach for the last 20 years under Riley Wallace who recently resigned following the 2006-07 season. During his time as an assistant, Nash was in charge of scouting future opponents as well as scheduling opponents for upcoming seasons.
By now, everyone seems to be pretty familiar with Coach Nash, so let’s just end the speculation and see what happens. Just be reminded what day today is… Friday the 13th. Let’s hope that means bad luck for all the other WAC teams. Haha.
Press Conference - Update: (From Stephen Tsai’s Blog)
Nash said he wants a “tougher basketball schedule.”
“Basketball wise, I’m a fast-paced guy,” Nash said, indicating the Rainbows will run a more uptempo offense. He also wants to have more of a pressing defense. He said he wants to give the players more freedom. He said he wants “to let these guys make plays.”
