Wahine coach Goo back for another year

By Ann Miller
Advertiser Staff Writer

After contemplating retirement since the end of last season, University of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine basketball coach Vince Goo said yesterday that he will stay at least another year.

"I was thinking about retiring," Goo said. "But I plugged the battery in and the red light on the charger turned green so I'm ready."

Goo, 56, has been Hawai'i's head coach since 1987. In his 16 seasons, the Rainbow Wahine have gone 326-146. They have played in five NCAA Tournaments and five WNIT Tournaments, including the last four. Every player that has finished her eligibility at UH has earned a degree.

Goo said job security is no longer a priority for him. When his five-year contract ends in August he will seek a one-year deal and assess his options again after next season.
