Tolentino "Tino" Reyes has served as the University of Hawaii at Hilo women's volleyball since 2010, and will enter into his seventh season at the helm in the Fall of 2016.
The veteran leader has a six-year mark of 68-69 on the Vulcan sideline. In 2015, he helped lead his squad to a 11-12 overall record, and they were 9-11 in the tough Pacific West Conference.
In his first two years at the helm, Reyes garnered a 33-12 record while going 24-8 in the PWC. In 2011, the Vulcans advanced to the NCAA Division II West Region tournament as the No. 6 seed before falling to No. 3 seed Sonona State.
Prior to his arrival in Hilo, Reyes was instrumental in helping build the University of Hawaii men's program as the associate head coach. During his 17-year career at Hawaii, the Warriors were 283-119 with four Mountain Pacific Sports Federation titles, three trips to the Final Four and one (vacated) national championship.
"He's a real capable guy … a volleyball man," said former Hawaii head coach Mike Wilton. "We've worked together for years and he's proven to be a person of high integrity and quality. His input was always invaluable in developing the volleyball program."
Reyes coached under Hawaii Monoa women's coach Dave Shoji for two seasons before joining the men's program. He also coached at Southern Illinois and Weber State as an assistant coach.
The native of the island of Molokai has also served as the head women's volleyball coach at Oregon State and Chaminade.
On the national level, Reyes is the head coach of the USA Volleyball Boys Youth National Team and a former coach at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships.
Vulcan basketball fans may remember Reyes as a member of the 1976-77 UHH basketball team. Reyes went on to play volleyball at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and later was an assistant coach with the Cal Poly SLO women's team, helping the Mustangs to national recognition and success.
Tino and his wife, Susan, have four children: Jaylen Kainoa, Ryan Kapono, Jonah Nainoa and Emma.
