Hawaii announces AD Matlin will retire in June, concluding over eight years leading the Rainbow Warriors. President Lassner: "David Matlin has been a fantastic UH Mānoa Athletics Director and is truly going out on top. He is a highly respected senior AD and leader in the Big West Conference, the Mountain West Conference and nationally. David has navigated UH through multiple crises including COVID-19 and the unexpected loss of Aloha Stadium. He has strengthened our program financially by reducing costs where possible and creating new revenue streams. David has led us with integrity and responsibility through the initial upheavals in intercollegiate athletics that are now shaking the foundations of amateurism, including the introduction of the transfer portal and Name/Image/Likeness (NIL). He has given UH our exceptionally strong current cadre of head coaches who are at UH Mānoa by choice because they care deeply about Hawaiʻi and our university. And most of all, David has never wavered from putting the health and safety and academic success of our student athletes first." (link)
