News and Notes

Jason Kaneshiro has some news and notes about UH Athletics no longer printing schedule posters and most media guides, the WAC Football Preview beginning tomorrow, and UH coaches Rich Miano and Dave Aranda taking NFL internships this summer.

On UH Sports Extra, Kaneshiro has more about the internships.

Aranda arrived in Denver today and went straight into a day of meetings with the Broncos staff. He was invited to the internship by defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and will work with defensive line coach Mike Nunnely.
“Just to go from one meeting to the next and talk about schemes is a neat experience,” Aranda said.
Miano leaves Wednesday and will start working when the Bengals open training camp on Thursday. Dr. Edison Miyawaki, a part-owner of the Bengals, helped arrange the internship.
“Being around the pro guys and being around the team when they’re getting ready for the season will be exciting,” Miano said.
Like the Warriors, both the Broncos and Bengals run 4-3 systems, giving Aranda and Miano a chance to pick up some notes to bring back to Manoa.

Speaking of UH coaches, Wes Nakama had a profile of Cal Lee as part of the Advertiser's Fab 50 series.

Dave Reardon has a Further Review column about Tommy Kaulukukui, Al Noga, Dick Couch and the importance of word-of-mouth.

Ferd Lewis writes that Jim Donovan has volunteered to take a pay cut.

University of Hawai'i athletic director Jim Donovan has voluntarily accepted a 7 percent pay cut and other athletic administrators are expected to sustain mandatory trims while coaches could also be asked to accept reductions to contribute to the school's belt tightening.

The cuts come as UH addresses approximately $155 million in budget cuts over the next two years, including $48.8 million on the Manoa campus.
