HONOLULU (AP) -Hawaii coach Greg McMackin wasn’t shy about showing off the bling.
McMackin proudly wore his 2007 Western Athletic Conference champion ring Monday after the Warriors secured at least a share of the WAC title last weekend with their rout of New Mexico State and Nevada’s stunning upset over previously unbeaten Boise State.
The third-year Warriors coach designed the gaudy 2007 ring, and he’s already designed this year’s.
The unexpected rise of No. 25 Hawaii to a WAC championship and a national ranking is as surprising to many as it is satisfying for the Warriors (9-3) who were predicted to finish near the bottom of the WAC in the preseason.
Despite finishing with a losing record and missing the postseason last year, McMackin told his players from the start of this season that they were a special group.
