Before 2020 could become clear for the University of Hawai’i basketball team, it took a collective and corrective effort for two months of 2019 from a young staff that can see the bigger picture now.
Eran Ganot is back in place as head coach as the Rainbow Warriors prepare for next week’s start of the Big West Conference season. He was on a medical leave of absence from November 6 to December 27.
While Ganot was out, the remainder of the coaching staff took on added roles, led by Chris Gerlufsen becoming acting head coach. It was a sudden and unexpected announcement from Ganot, but the Warriors managed to produce an 8-5 record in his absence.
