Hilo tennis seasons finished: The No. 19 Hawaii-Hilo tennis teams could not pull off upsets in the first round of their regionals yesterday, with both teams losing to UCSan Diego 5-0.

Big names at BYUH basketball camp

Hall of Fame coach Pete Newell, Hawaii coach Riley Wallace, Utah coach Rick Majerus and the Japanese national team coach Kohama Mototaki headline next week's inaugural Hawaii International Basketball Academy, a clinic designed for coaches, at Brigham Young-Hawaii.

"These are some of the technicians and clinicians in our sport and it's a great opportunity for coaches in Hawaii to listen to some of the best," said BYU-Hawaii coach Ken Wagner. "Part of the reason this came about was to fill a void. There haven't been a lot of clinics just for coaches. We are planning for this to be an annual event."

The clinic will be held at Cannon Activities Center from 6-10 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. The cost is $100 for coaches and $20 for students.

Majerus and his Utes will be in this December's Rainbow Classic. The Utah coach said he will open those practices to anyone who attends the HIBA clinic.

For more information, contact Wagner at 293-3760, 293-3751 or 293-3764.

Vulcans also camping: The annual Vulcan Basketball School, featuring Hawaii-Hilo coach Jeff Law and former UHH coach Jimmy Yagi, is scheduled for June 24-27.

The camp is open to boys and girls, ages 8 through high school, and will be held at the UHH Old Gym and Honpa Hongwanji Hilo Betsuin Sangha Hall.

Tuition for the four-day school is $100. For more information contact co-camp director Eric Sanchez at 959-9052 (Big Island).
