HONOLULU (AP) -Former Southern California assistant coach Gib Arnold is Hawaii’s new men’s basketball coach.
Hawaii athletic director Jim Donovan introduced Arnold at a news conference Saturday. Arnold succeeds Bob Nash, who was fired after going 34-56 in three seasons with the Rainbow Warriors, including 10-20 in 2009-10.
Arnold says he’s “thrilled, excited, humbled and grateful,” for the opportunity.
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 1985-87.
