The 2016-17 season marks the seventh year for Bobby Keanini at the helm of the Chaminade University women's basketball team and is the program's all-time winningest coach.

His recruiting class of 2013, who became four-year seniors in Kristle Henry, Lilia Maio and Carissa Webb, won 18 games and is the winningest senior class in program history. The trio also set several game, season and career records with Maio becoming the program's all-time leading scorer (1,266 points), rebounder (695) and shot-blocker (73) and holds 14 career, season and game records. Keanini helped Henry set the career steals record (168) while both she and Webb finished among the program's career leaders in scoring, rebounding and games played.

Under Keanini's guidance, the Silverswords won a program-record seven games in 2014-15. All seven wins came against Pacific West Conference opposition which is also a program record. The team accomplished a number of firsts during the season including its first-ever win on the continental United States with a 72-71 victory at Notre Dame de Namur on January 17, 2015. The team also set a program scoring record with 93 points in a double-overtime win over BYU-Hawai'i on Feb. 5. In a 91-52 victory over Holy Names on Feb. 21, the 'Swords set or tied seven team and individual single-game records, including margin of victory, assists (30), field goals made (35) and individual steals (6 by Henry).

Keanini's 2013-14 team saw the Silverswords make great strides, winning multiple games for the first time since the program's inaugural season of 2006-07.  The team also celebrated its first win outside of O'ahu since 2007 with its victory at Hawai'i-Hilo on Feb. 7.

Aside from the marked improvement on the court, Keanini has also stressed academics. Since being hired on June 20, 2010, 39 'Swords have been named to the PacWest All-Academic Team. Several players have garnered major academic accolades, including Kelly Costello, a Capital One Academic All-American Second Team selection in 2012, and Glacen Florita, who was named the PacWest Women's Basketball Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2015.

Keanini served as the head girls basketball coach at Roosevelt High School in Honolulu from 1992-2007. During that time, his teams made seven state tournament appearances with a Division II State Championship and a Division I State runner up finish. He was named OIA Eastern Division Girls Basketball Coach of the Year in 2004, '05, '06, and '07 while also garnering Division II State Coach of the Year accolades in 2004.
