Head beach volleyball coach Evan Silberstein will not be retained after his contract expires at the end of May, ending his four-year stint as the head of the program.
University of Hawaiʻi Athletics announced that head beach volleyball coach Evan Silberstein would not be retained Wednesday morning. Silberstein was the head coach of the program for four seasons where he led the Rainbow Wahine to three straight NCAA Tournament berths before going 14-21 in 2025 for a career record of 89-59.
“We have decided to move in a different direction with our beach volleyball program,” acting athletic director Lois Manin said. “We appreciate everything Evan has given to this program as both an assistant and head coach and we wish him well.”
Silberstein has been a part of the beach volleyball staff for 11 seasons, spending his previous seven years as an assistant to former head coach Jeff Hall where the team saw national success and back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament semi-finals.
Rainbow Wahine assistant coach Nick Castello will serve as interim head coach for the beach volleyball team until a new coach is named.
