UH Basketball: The Advisory Committee…
A five member advisory committee has been named to assist Herman Frazier in the search for the new head coach of the University of Hawaii men’s basketball program. Why were they chosen?… Do they know anything about basketball?… Who are they? (Can’t help much with the first two questions… but the internet helped to answer the third.)
