Basketball: Vulcans alum Wong joins men’s coaching staff, spurning offer from Hammerheads

It turns out, that yes, you can go home again.

At least that’s how it worked out for Aukai Wong, the new assistant coach for GE Coleman on the men’s basketball team at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.

“I’ve always thought about coaching, it’s been there as a long range plan all along,” Wong said Monday. “I’m just honored and humbled to have the opportunity to work with GE and UH-Hilo.”

The feeling seems mutual.

“He’s a great positive energy guy, he knows our program, all (the players) know about him, I’m just really happy to have Aukai with us.
