University of Hawai'i men's basketball head coach Bob Nash, who spent 31 years at UH as a player, assistant and head coach, was fired yesterday, following three consecutive losing seasons and a last-place finish in the Western Athletic Conference. UH Athletic Director Donovan said a national search for a new coach will begin immediately. Donovan said he asks his coaches to do six things -- focus on the academics, comply with NCAA and state regulations, interact with community with public relations focus and help fund raise, recruit players with good character, be part of the UH team, and (have a good) won-lost record. Donovan said Nash met five of the six standards, except the won-lost record, "That's the only category that hasn't met our standards."
