The Maverick of Manoa

Advertiser Staff

June Jones does not go with the flow. He runs an unconventional offense, condones penalty-drawing player celebrations. He is a risk-taker with a belief that you don't "experience greatness if you're not willing to take a chance." Now, this maverick of a coach has molded a University of Hawai'i football team in his own image. Bold, brash, with a go-for-broke attitude.
