Wahine coaching update
Today was the deadline for applications to fill the vacancy left by Ah Mow-Santos’ departure.
Shoji said there will be an announcement next week.
As mentioned previously, Pestolesi will be a volunteer assistant next season.
There may or may not be an official announcement from UH. They are waiting on the paperwork to make before anything can be officially said.
Also as previously mentioned, Pestolesi and wife Diane Sebastian Pestolesi will be in Hawaii starting this weekend. Diane is being honored by the UH School of Nursing as one of its 50 distinguished graduates. School of Nursing is 50 years old.
Side note: Diane’s decision to play volleyball came down between UH and Stanford. But Stanford didn’t have the nursing program she wanted so she came to UH.
On the other thread, confirmation of Trinity Castaneda for 2018. She joins Liliana Light as 2018 oral commits. Both are listed at 6-1 and OH/MB.
Castaneda is out of Indio, Calif. plays at 951elite.
club tweeted this (although her last name is misspelled)
Trinity Castenada commits to University of Hawaii! Congratulations Trinity!!! https://t.co/1cWJuk4Dis

Hmmmm………I thought Lilliana was a setter? We are going to need another setter for 2018 since Kendra is going to be gone.
1. Light is a setter. Cindy was saying that her and Castanedas were both 6-1.
Hope Thurlby applied. Even if is could be for 1 or 2 years. Would be give her Div. 1 coaching experience.
Yes, Light is a setter.
3. Thereby likely not going to leave UCLA after 5 years. She’s doing well there as the DOVO for both the men’s and women’s teams, and in her side business (drawing a blank on that at the moment). We discussed it during the men’s MPSF quarterfinal at UCLA.
An lb fan on vt is saying Debbie Green. If so, she and pesto joining seems a little like Shoji’s last ride.
I don’t think that Long Beach fan is reliable.
Debbie Green would be a great addition.
7. agree it would be a great addition but not seeing it.She’s been gone from The Beach coaching staff since 09.
All Pestolesi has ever said was that he wanted to come out for a year before Shoji retires. Doesn’t mean that this is the ‘last ride.’
Emily Hartong is on the island. Maybe she’s the next coach.
9. she doesn’t have the coaching experience
