Saint Louis School president Walter Kirimitsu confirmed this morning that Ulima Afoa will be replaced as the Crusaders' athletic director.

"We are going to make a change and hope to begin the (hiring) process as soon as possible," Kirimitsu told The Advertiser, adding that exact details of Afoa's exit are still being finalized. "Ulima is a good guy; he is a gentleman, he is my friend, and the reason (for the change) has nothing to do with his performance or wins and losses. This is just about the management and administration wanting to go in a different direction."
Kirimitsu said the status of all existing coaches, including football coach John Hao, will be determined by the new athletic director.
Afoa, a former standout football player at Saint Louis and San Diego State University and a longtime college and high school coach, has been the Crusaders' AD since June 2008.
