University of Hawaii basketball, already practically a Leahey family franchise, will go into its 47th year of three-generation association with the sportscasting family.

Kanoa Leahey will do play-by-play for men’s games and his father, Jim, will do Rainbow Wahine games on Oceanic Time Warner’s OC Sports this season, it was announced Monday.

Kanoa, who has done Diamond Head Classic games the past two years for ESPN, will be joined by analysts David Hallums and Tony Sellitto. Hallums played for the Rainbow Warriors (1987-88) and Sellitto was Hawaii Pacific University’s head coach (1988-02 and 2008-10).

Jim Leahey will be joined by Lori Santi on Rainbow Wahine games.

The Leahey family has been doing UH basketball games since 1964, when Jim’s father, Chuck, began doing the Rainbow Classic, which he and Red Rocha pioneered, on the radio. Jim worked with his father on radio in the late 1960s and began doing them on TV in 1978 and continued with KFVE from 1984 through last season.

“He (Kanoa) has accepted the passing of the torch,” Jim said. “He’s very good at it, excellent in fact, and ESPN has been very impressed with his work.”

OC Sports’ first UH basketball broadcast will be a Nov. 11 doubleheader. OC Sports expects to do a combined schedule of approximately 30 games between the men and women.

Howard Dashefsky will anchor pregame, halftime and postgame segments for men’s and women’s games and will be joined by Artie Wilson for men’s basketball. Wilson, who played for UH from 1971 to ’73, will also do some color commentary.

The remainder of the lineup for Wahine games is still being assembled, Oceanic officials said.
