DAVE SHOJI RETIREMENT PARTY
STAN SHERIFF CENTER, HONOLULU, HI
It was an honor to attend Coach Dave Shoji's retirement party at the Stan Sheriff Center.
There has been no greater coach in Hawaii sports history. He took this small Island in the middle of the Pacific to the national stage and established a volleyball culture and tradition that is among the best in the World. He accomplished all this with a very humble and quiet demeanor off the court and an intense winning attitude on the court. Dave racked up one of the best coaching records in NCAA sports with a 1202 -204-1 record. 1200 wins in "any" sport is amazing. He won Four National Championships and was named Coach of the Year 5 times. Plus;
25 Conference Players of the Year
107 Conference All Academic Players
86 All American Selections
8 National Players of the Year
5 Olympians
Named one of All Time Greatest Coaches by USA Volleyball
Named Coach of NCAA 25th Anniversary team
Thanks so much Coach for making our Wahine Volleyball program one of the best in the country.
Wishing you all the best in the years ahead.

On our visit to this place, we mostly stayed downstairs, where the beer and liquor selection was quite admirable. The staff at event space NYC really pride themselves on the beers and food they have.
