Gibson Kirk Arnold (born October 19, 1968) is an American college basketball player and coach.
Sports career
Arnold played collegiately at Arizona State University, Dixie State College in Utah, and at the University of California, San Diego.[1]
While an assistant coach, Arnold was named as one of the top 25 recruiters in the country by Rivals.com, and one of the top 10 assistant coaches in the country by Athlon Sports Magazine.[1] Arnold served as the head coach at the College of Southern Idaho, where he posted a 57-14 record (2003–2005).[2] He left Southern Idaho to take an assistants job at the Univ of Southern California under newly appointed Head Coach Tim Floyd and was held over by newly appointed Head Coach Kevin O'neill (2009) when Floyd was forced to resign. [Wikipedia/past USC coaches]
He was named the 19th head men's basketball coach at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa on March 20, 2010.[2] ~ His career record at UH is 52-44. [Wikipedia/UH rainbow warriors basketball]
On March 6, 2014, an angry fan confronted Gibson on the court. The fan made it all the way onto the court and back to the crowd before being subsequently arrested. It was the first time in 20 years of coaching Arnold had seen this.
On October 28, 2014 Arnold was removed as coach at Hawaii following an NCAA investigation.[3] In 2015, the University of Hawaii announced self-imposed penalties as a result of seven Level I or Level II (the most severe of four categories) NCAA violations that include vacating 36 wins for the men's basketball program from the 2012-2013 season, reducing scholarships and practice time, and placing itself on one-year probation. UH also agreed to pay a $10,000 fine.[4] The sanctions were contained in a 64-page reply to the NCAA that UH filed on May 15, 2015.[5] On December 23 of that year, the NCAA announced the results of its investigation. While Arnold was cleared of any Level I violations, he was found to have violated several NCAA ethical conduct rules, and received a three-year show-cause penalty. The NCAA banned the Rainbow Warriors from postseason play in 2016–17, increased UH's self-imposed scholarship reduction from one to two in both 2016–17 and 2017–18, and extended the self-imposed probation to three years. At the time the NCAA sanctions were announced, Arnold was a scout with the Boston Celtics.[6]
In February 2015, shortly after being fired, Arnold announced that he was seeking the remainder of his contract—an amount that totaled over one million dollars—from the University of Hawaii.[7] Since the NCAA investigation was still ongoing at the time the NCAA allegations first came to light, UH had elected to fire Arnold "without cause." Because he was fired without cause Arnold claimed that he should be paid the amount owed to him in the remainder of his contract. UH eventually settled with Arnold, paying him $700,000.[8]
Personal life
Arnold graduated from Punahou School—the same high school as President Barack Obama—and was a prep All-American and Hawai‘i’s high school Gatorade Player of the Year. Arnold's father, Frank, also served as the head basketball coach at UH from 1985 to 1987 ~ Prior to coaching at UH his father Frank served as head coach at BYU (1975-1983) after having served as an assistant coach to the legendary John Wooden and the UCLA Bruins (1971-1974). Frank Arnold worked alongside assistants Denny Crum and Gary Cunningham during the early 70's glory years winning multiple NCAA championships under the guidance of the Wizard of Westwood.
