I lived there 10 years and my family still lives in Haiku, Maui.  Best place currently on Island is Andaz Wailea to stay.  Team, coaches, and family will stay in Lahania (marriott) so if you go that route look at Four season Kapalua (sick golf).  Gym is smaller than my high school and the teams and players hang out in bleachers etc.  A few years ago we hung out with IU and NC teams and it was really cool.  No other place on earth this beatiful and you will be able to see team up close and personal for 3 days!  Mahalo

The Four Seasons is in Wailea -- I just stayed there. (OT: so did Jose Reyes!).  I suspect you were thinking of the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua.  FWIW, Kapalua is great for golf, but it's a little cloudier and wetter than Wailea or Lahaina/Kaanapali.

Will be going with my mgowife to celebrate our 15 year anniversary at the same spot as our Honeymoon.  Somehow I'll need to slip in fact that we'll also be going to watch basketball.  Will probably wait until the day of the game then let her know we won a drawing for dinner and tickets!!!  Woo hoo!!!
