HONOLULU (AP) -Two people familiar with the decision say former Southern California assistant coach Gib Arnold will be introduced as Hawaii’s new basketball coach.
The two people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because an announcement has yet to be made.
The school has scheduled a news conference for Saturday afternoon. Arnold would succeed Bob Nash, who was fired after going 34-56 in three seasons with the Rainbow Warriors, including 10-20 in 2009-10.
The 40-year-old Arnold served as an assistant at USC for the past five seasons before being fired this month by coach Kevin O’Neill.
Arnold played prep ball in Honolulu and is the son of former Hawaii coach Frank Arnold. The elder Arnold went 11-45 from 1985 to ’87.
