University of Hawaii basketball Coach Laura Beeman reacts after a play during a UH Wahine game against UC Irvine on Jan. 25.

After reading Billy Hull’s Jan. 27 article, “More support could be a factor for Wahine hoops team’s success,” I had to respond by saying I support his views whole-heartedly.

My first Wahine hoops game was “Beeman’s Bigger Bash” this year on Jan. 25. I couldn’t agree more when Hull mentioned how a building more than 50% empty could sound the way it did! I had to wear my ear plugs I normally wear for the Wahine and men’s volleyball games. The game was exciting, and I for one will be going to as many of their games just to see if/when Ritorya Tamilo will do a dunk. They said she reaches 10 inches above the rim.

Let’s not be fair-weather fans. Come out and support the Wahine hoops program. Go ’Bows!
