“Hawaii Women’s Volleyball Team Disqualified After Coach Found Using Psychic to Call Plays”
HONOLULU — In a stunning turn of events that has rocked the sports world, the University of Hawaii’s women’s volleyball team has been disqualified from the NCAA tournament after it was revealed that head coach Kiana Kealoha had been secretly consulting a psychic to call plays during games.
The revelation came to light late Friday evening when an anonymous whistleblower provided the NCAA with a series of text messages and audio recordings allegedly showing Kealoha in communication with a local psychic, known only as “Madame Leilani,” during matches. The recordings, which were reportedly made by a former assistant coach, feature Kealoha receiving real-time strategic advice from Madame Leilani, who is said to have been watching the games remotely and providing guidance through a hidden earpiece.
The NCAA’s investigation into the matter has led to the immediate suspension of Kealoha and the disqualification of the team from the tournament. The university has also placed the entire coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation.
“We take these allegations very seriously,” said NCAA President Mark Emmert in a statement. “The integrity of collegiate athletics is paramount, and any actions that undermine that integrity will not be tolerated.”
The news has sent shockwaves through the volleyball community, with many expressing disbelief over the unconventional method of coaching. “I’ve heard of using analytics and film study, but this is next-level,” said former professional volleyball player and current analyst, Sarah Thompson. “It’s one thing to study your opponent; it’s another to have someone allegedly channeling spiritual guidance.”
The University of Hawaii has yet to comment publicly on the situation, but sources within the athletic department have confirmed that an internal review is underway. “We are deeply concerned by these allegations and are committed to conducting a thorough investigation,” said a spokesperson for the university.
Meanwhile, the team’s players have been left in limbo, unsure of their futures. “We just want to play,” said senior outside hitter Malia Kealoha, who is not related to the coach. “We’ve worked so hard to get here, and now this. It’s devastating.”
As the investigation continues, the sports world watches closely, awaiting further developments in what has become one of the most bizarre scandals in collegiate athletics history.
