Fantastic trip through out O'AHU, MAUI and HAWAII. Our guide Michael Murakami, #Trafalgar, was informative, funny and always on point. We started, my husband and I, in Wakiki Beach than Pearl Harbor and a visit through town looking at the King's palace, Parliament building and Chinatown. Off we went to Hawai to visit Kona Joe coffee plantation. I took an helicopter ride to see Hawai's volcanoes and rain forest and my husband went snorkeling at Captain Cook cove. Both excursions were terrific. Than we went to see Panaluu black sand beach and made a quick visit to an orchid farm. More snorkeling with the giant Manta Rays and memorable sunset on the beach took place in between all these excursions. In Maui, we visited O'o Farm, an organic farm 3000 feets high and had the most delicious meal cooked right on site by their chef in his authentic brick oven. Off to a sunset cruise and swimming with green sea turtles. We saw quite a show whales watching. The giant sea creatures jumped out of the pacific ocean. Its not Hawaii without a Luau and we had a lot of fun being entertained by the talented dancers. Aloha Hawaii!! We will be back.

Guide is well-informed, flexible, kind, attentive and a good, careful, considerate driver. Vehicle is well-equipped and comfortable. Rest stops are spaced appropriately. Some accommodations are great, all are good. Native American guides add much to the understanding of the areas visited. Much is to be learned about history, culture, geology. A very good, well-thought-out tour.
Covered the southwestern parks I most wanted to see. Tour director was very knowledgeable and patient; driver was charming and helpful. Accommodations were perfectly situated, and excursions were fun.

Sports. Honestly. Since 2011

Isaiah thomas signs with west contender to complete comeback.

  • March 16, 2024
  • Quenton Albertie

NBA point guard Isaiah Thomas

Two-time All-Star, Isaiah Thomas , hasn’t played an NBA game since Apr. 2022. That may all change soon, as the Phoenix Suns will sign the 35-year-old to a 10-day contract , per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Isaiah Thomas in the G-League: 34 PTS | 4 AST | 7 3P 34 PTS | 5 AST | 7 3P 30 PTS | 8 AST | 6 3P 32 PTS | 4 AST | 5 3P Now, he’s a Sun. pic.twitter.com/5EzhFc3njP — StatMuse (@statmuse) March 16, 2024

Isaiah Thomas Signs with Suns to Complete Comeback

Thomas had turned heads with his recent play in the G League as he made his comeback attempt. He signed a contract with the Utah Jazz’s G League affiliate —the Salt Lake City Stars —on Mar. 5. In the four games that he played with the Stars, the 11-year NBA veteran averaged 32.5 points and 5.3 assists per game, scoring at least 30 points in every contest.

Thomas’ averages with the Stars were magnificent.

Nonetheless, with players in the G League, a player’s translatable skills are a better indicator of how they’ll perform at the next level than their averages. This is not only because of the difference in talent between the G League and the NBA but because a player in the G League will likely play a much smaller role once called up to the NBA.

32 PTS ⭐️ 4 AST ⭐️ 5 REB HE’S BACK! Isaiah Thomas scored a game-high in his G League season debut to lead the @slcstars to victory over the Legends. pic.twitter.com/y415zZ2Lgy — NBA G League (@nbagleague) March 8, 2024

Keeping IT Simple

In Thomas’ case, his ability to shoot the 3 will serve him well. He knocked down 44.6 percent of his 3-point attempts, showing off the same touch that allowed him to go from the 60th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft to the King of the Fourth.

His height at 5-foot-9 has always been a limiting factor but he’s also now lost a step athletically due to age and injury. He’s still wily enough to get to the rim. However, those slow-developing rack attacks will likely be even less frequent if he’s going up against rotation-level NBA players.

In the context of his contract with the Suns, Thomas’ 3-point prowess helps ease his transition in Phoenix.

The Suns are shooting 37.5 percent from 3, tied with the Golden State Warriors for the eighth-best in the NBA. Yet, they only take 32.0 attempts per game (ranked 26th in the NBA). To that point, his efficiency and volume will be appreciated, as 65.1 percent of his field goal attempts with the Stars were 3s.

Notably, Thomas will likely take Phoenix’s final roster spot. Nonetheless, whether he signs a second 10-day contract, an end-of-season contract, or a longer deal, he’s unlikely to break into the rotation for the 2024 NBA Playoffs .

Isaiah Thomas is coming to Phoenix on a 10-day contract per a report but the expectation is that he will take the Suns final roster spot. I would doubt he cracks the 8-9 man playoff rotation so more insurance policy if one of the guards would get injured. — John Gambadoro (@Gambo987) March 17, 2024

Washington to fire Mike Hopkins: Huskies coach will be with team until end of season, won't be back in 2024-25

New athletic director troy dannen will be faced making yet another huge coaching hire as uw heads to big ten.

NCAA Basketball: Washington at California

Washington will fire coach Mike Hopkins after seven seasons, CBS Sports' Matt Norlander confirmed Friday. Hopkins is expected to coach the Huskies through the postseason starting with next week's Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas .

UW (17-14, 9-11) made just one NCAA Tournament appearance under Hopkins' leadership, reaching the second round in 2019 as a No. 9 seed. The Huskies would need to win the Pac-12 Tournament to reach this year's Big Dance. UW posted a 27-9 (15-3 Pac-12) mark in the 2018-19 campaign and won the outright Pac-12 title. But it proved to be the high-water mark as the Huskies have posted just one winning record in league play over the last five seasons.

The move comes as the Huskies are preparing for a transition to the Big Ten, which will put the program in a stronger league that requires several cross-country flights throughout conference play. It will also be the second hire of massive proportions for athletic director Troy Dannen, who assumed his role on Oct. 7, 2023.

Dannen hired Jedd Fisch from Arizona as Washington's football coach after Kalen DeBoer left UW to replace Nick Saban at Alabama after leading the Huskies to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

Entering the Pac-12 Tournament, Hopkins owns a mark of 118-105 (62-72 Pac-12). He arrived after spending more than two decades as a Syracuse assistant under Jim Boeheim. Once regarded as a potential successor to Boeheim, Hopkins' candidacy for that position fizzled the last few seasons as Boeheim neared the end of his career. Ultimately, following Boeheim's retirement, the Orange promoted assistant Adrian Autry, who has posted a 20-11 (11-9 ACC) mark so far in his first year.

Xavier Coates scores 'freak' try as Storm win thriller against the Warriors, Ricky Stuart slams Canberra Stadium 'stench', Cowboys beat Knights in golden point

Sport Xavier Coates scores 'freak' try as Storm win thriller against the Warriors, Ricky Stuart slams Canberra Stadium 'stench', Cowboys beat Knights in golden point

Xavier Coates flies in the air

Xavier Coates's incredible, gravity-defying try helped the Storm get out of jail against the Warriors in Melbourne, securing a last-gasp 30-26 victory.

Coates flew more than five metres through the air, with almost his entire body horizontal and out of bounds, to dot down in the corner with seconds remaining to help the Storm complete a remarkable fightback.

Trailing 26-18 with five minutes remaining, Ryan Papenhuyzen crossed for the second of two tries to give the Storm hope.

Then, with the game on the line, Coates scored his remarkable try that left NRL legends speechless.

"That is the greatest individual effort to win a game I have ever seen," Melbourne legend Cooper Cronk said of the "freak" Coates on Fox Sports.

"I am in awe of your ability, I wish I had your skill.

"I can't even fathom how you do that.

"Words can't describe what Xavier Coates has done for the Melbourne Storm tonight … I'm not sure a rugby league player should be able to do this."

Teammates Jahrome Hughes and Papenhuyzen hailed the try as one of the best they've ever seen.

"I still can't believe he scored that try," Hughes said.

"We've got some freaky wingers these days … I still can't believe how long he was in the air for. Crazy."

Xavier Coates celebrates

Storm coach Craig Bellamy said that Melbourne "probably didn't deserve to win" the game after going 10 points behind, but hailed Coates.

"The thing that I loved about him is that he practices that after nearly every training session. If he doesn't practice that, he doesn't score that tonight," Bellamy said.

"He's had probably one of the best pre-seasons I've ever had [from a player] … he's a hell of an athlete.

"To do what he did tonight, you need to practice."

The Storm had flown out of the blocks, leading 18-6 at half-time thanks to tries to Will Warbrick, Nick Meany and Papenhuyzen, with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak crossing for the Warriors.

The Warriors may have felt hard done by after seeing a try ruled out for Marcelo Montoya before the break, but the visitors came out firing in the second half.

Watene-Zelezniak and Jackson Ford crossed to put the Warriors back in contention, before Montoya crossed again to put the Warriors ahead.

Luke Metcalf kept the scoreboard ticking over with three penalty goals in the second half, before the Storm turned the game back on its head in the closing stages.

Ricky Stuart slams 'stench' in Canberra stadium

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart holds his hand to his face during an NRL game against Wests Tigers.

In Saturday's opening game, Wests Tigers suffered defeat in the first game of the Benji Marshall era, losing 32-12 against the Raiders in Canberra, with NSW prop Stefano Utoikamanu dismissed for dissent in the closing stages.

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart was asked about a "pungent aroma" in the stands and said it was "absolutely crap" that the nation's capital does not have a world-class stadium .

"I feel sorry for those people [fans], with the stench," he said in his post-match press conference.

"I know people laugh at it, but we are the capital of Australia.

"The stadium administration and the people here are wonderful people, they accommodate us so well. They, and Canberra, deserve a new stadium.

"It's absolutely crap that they don't build a stadium to look after Canberra's people.

"I'm all for education, I'm all for hospitals, but we have to have some common sense."

Stuart criticised the transport around the ground, saying fans going to a concert at the stadium were "stranded" when buses stopped last week.

Cowboys come back to win thriller

Chad Townsend shouts as he celebrates his game-winner for the Cowboys in their NRL game against the Knights.

Earlier, the North Queensland Cowboys won a thriller against Newcastle Knights in Townsville, with Chad Townsend nailing a golden point field goal to secure a 21-20 victory.

North Queensland took the lead for the first time three minutes into golden point as it came from 12-0 down at half-time.

Townsend slotted the winning field goal three minutes into golden point, after Val Holmes missed three kicks at goal in regulation time.

An Adam Elliot first-half double gave the Knights the lead at half time, although a double burst from Townsend and Kyle Feldt shortly after the break brought the misfiring Cowboys back into the contest.

Greg Marzhew re-established the Knights lead, with Kalyn Ponga adding a penalty goal to push the lead back out to 20-10.

Tom Dearden crossed with 20 minutes remaining to give the hosts hope, before Jeremiah Nanai levelled the scores just before full time.

Holmes missed the conversion that would have given the Cowboys victory, and then a long-range field goal in the final second of regulation time.

But the Cowboys supporters still left Townsville happy after Townsend's heroics.

The greatest match winner of all time.

Simon Smale profile image

By Simon Smale

That'll do us

I don't think there is much else (anything else) left to say.

That was the greatest match-winner I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure it would be the greatest match winner many people have ever seen.

And can you believe it, the weekend is not even over yet!

There are two games yet to come tomorrow and we'll be back to bring you all the action from them both.

As ever, it's been a pleasure to be here with you today for three terrific games of NRL.

Now I need to have a lie down.

But when I close my eyes, I know I'll see Xavier Coates flying through the air with a ball under his arm like some Queenslander superman.

Good night.

Cooper Cronk 'in awe'

west end trips with coach

"I'm in awe of [this try]," Cooper Cronk says.

"Words cant describe what Xavier Coates has done for the Melbourne Storm tonight

"This is physics defying.

"This is gravity defying.

"I'm not sure a rugby league player should be able to do this.

"But Xavier Coates has done it."

Coates 'a winger who can jump over a skyscraper': Webster

Here's the Warriors coach, who has overseen two successive defeats to start the season.

"It's gut wrenching," Andrew Webster says.

"It hurts, obviously. I'm super gutted that we put ourselves into that position at the start of the game."

He says the last two tries in the match were both worthy of being spoken about.

"Even the Papenhuyzen tries ... the out and back in plays, it's a huge play, you've got respect that, we've got to find a way to stop it.

"When you've got a winger who can jump over a skyscraper and then put the ball down in the corner, it's pretty amazing.

"It's hard to cheer them when you feel this way."

I still can't believe that we have seen that try being scored

west end trips with coach

It was and remains impossible to comprehend.

There will be long jumpers at this year's Olympics that don't get that sort of elevation or distance in their leaps.

Incredible.

No wonder everyone is losing their mind over it.

'I still can't believe he scored that try': Hughes

Here's Jahrome Hughes.

"It was a pretty crazy ending," he says.

"He's such a special player.

"I still can't believe he scored that try."

Still incredulous, Cronk asks what would have happened if Hughes was in that position.

"I would have got bundled into touch and we would have lost the game," he laughs.

"We've got some freaky wingers these days, I still can't believe how long he was in the air for. Crazy."

Cronk still disbelieving at what he saw

"I don't even fathom how you do that," Cronk says again.

Papenhuyzen hails 'remarkable' Coates

"It's quite remarkable," Papenhuyzen says on Fox Sports.

"I think I've thrown my back out celebrating. "I can't believe this guy, honestly. "He is one hell of a talent and he's so humble. "He does that every session [in training]."

Papenhuyzen says his try was "quite lucky" and that he just got lucky to "dive over for a couple of cherry picked tries".

Talking about humble...

'Freak' try hailed by NRL legend

Xavier Coates is speaking to Fox Sports

"To be fair, I don't really know [how I did that]," he says. "It was a bit of adrenaline going. "I didn't even know if I got the ball down "That came down to the last sorta five minutes. It was collectively a team effort to get ourselves back into the game."

Cooper Cronk calls Coates a "freak".

Hard to argue.

Coates says he does practice doing stuff like that in training - incredibly.

"I am in awe of your ability, I wish I had your skill," says Cronk.

Well, that's saying something.

Storm win a thriller with a Xavier Coates miracle

What a try what a try the storm win it the storm win it.

IT'S A MIRACLE TRY!

XAVIER COATES!

He took off five metres from the line! He was almost two metres in the air and he's dotted the ball down in the corner!

That is absolutely incredible!

Absolutely incredible!

The best try you've ever seen to win a thriller.

SIX AGAIN FOR THE STORM!

The attempted two-point field goal is blocked and the Storm come again!

Wonderful from the Storm, wonderful from Ryan Papenhuyzen!

76' Storm force back-to-back goalline dropouts

The Warriors are setting up a defensive line and are doing their jobs superbly here.

Two cute kicks from Papenhuyzen result in goalline drop outs, but repeat sets nothing if they can't convert them and score.

71' PENALTY WARRIORS!

A brilliant period of to and fro there between the two sides.

But then Ryan Papenhuyzen had the ball ripped away and then he interferes with the player trying to get it back.

The kick goes through the posts and it's now an eight point lead with just over seven minutes remaining on the clock

63' Harry Grant pinged for trying to milk a foul!

Harry Grant has thrown the ball into the Warriors player who was trying to get away from the tackle in a quick play the ball.

It's the sort of penalty that you were allowed to get away with a couple of years ago.

But now it goes the other way - and you can't disagree with it.

Grant looked at Jackson Ford and just threw it straight into him.

The Warriors have a penalty in front and they nail it this time - the Warriors lead is up to six!

58' The Warriors hit the front!

The ball is passed wide from Metcalf out to Montoya and he's over in the corner to get the Warriors into the lead.

Three-straight tries for the Warriors!

From 12 points down at the break, the Warriors now lead by four!

Metcalf misses the kick.

The Warriors have not beaten the Storm in 14 attempts.

There's 20 minutes to go!

56' Warriors draw level!

It's a Warriors penalty!

Not sure what that was for to be honest - but it's right in front of the posts and we're going to see a goal attempt here.

Metcalf nails the kick to make it 18-18!
