Former Gladiators QB Nick Rolovich brings fun back to Hawaii

HONOLULU — Under first-year coach Nick Rolovich, Hawaii has already equaled its win total from last season and far exceeded its fun quotient.

During a break from spring practice, Rolovich donned an Army helmet and camouflage face paint and joined his staff in taking on the players in an extensive water fight — complete with water balloons, water guns and barrels of water — that he dubbed the “April Fools’ Day Massacre.”

“I think it’s important to have fun in life, no matter what you do,” said Rolovich, who at 37 is one of the youngest head coaches in the country.
