Late Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Yagi led camps and clinics around the world, helping generations of aspiring basketball players enhance their skills to achieve their athletic goals.

Yagi spent 12 seasons from the late 1970s through the early 1980s as head coach of the Vulcans men’s basketball team, compiling a record of 252-126.

He took the Vulcans to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national tournament three times, and more importantly, put UH-Hilo basketball on the map as the biggest game in town.

After coaching the Vulcans, Yagi also taught youth basketball camps in Europe, alongside Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki.
