Assistant Coach Tino Reyes

Tolentino "Tino" Reyes is coming into his seventh season as an assistant to head coach Mike Wilton and ninth with the University of Hawai'i volleyball program.

Prior to his current position with the Rainbow men, Reyes served two years as an assistant to women's head coach Dave Shoji with the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team.

In his current position with the men's team, Reyes' primary responsibilities include handling the setters and defensive plays. Under his guidance, Erik Pichel earned first team All-American honors in 1996 and Curt Vaughan became the school's all-time career assists leader in 1997.

Off the court, the Molokai native shares recruiting and traveling duties with Wilton, and has traveled to national and international tournaments on the lookout for prospective Rainbows.
In the off-season, Reyes assists with the Rainbow men's summer camp for volleyball enthusiasts of all ages.

During his five-year tenure with the Rainbow men, Hawai'i has amassed a 96-43 overall record and made four trips to post-season competition. The Rainbows also made two trips to the Final Four in 1995 and '96.

A long time associate of Wilton since the 1970's, Reyes and Wilton first worked together at Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo where Wilton headed the nationally ranked women's volleyball program.

Before returning to Hawai'i in the mid 1980's, Reyes was an assistant at three schools-Cal Poly SLO, Southern Illinois and Weber State. He has also served as head coach at Oregon State and Chaminade.

Reyes earned his degree at Cal Poly SLO in 1984 where he played one year of collegiate volleyball.

Tino and his wife, Susan, have four children, Jaylan Kainoa, Ryan Kapono, Jonah Nainoa and Emma.
