Klum Gym in Honolulu, HI is named after Otto Klum, a legendary UH football coach from 1921 to 1939, known for his colorful personality and coaching style. With a career record of 84-51-7, Klum was one of the most successful UH coaches in history, leading the team to the mainland for the first time in 1922 and establishing them as the Rainbows after a fortuitous appearance of a rainbow during a game.
Despite his success, Klum was fired by the Board of Regents in 1939 due to his part-time commitment, as he split his time between Hawai'i, his Oregon sheep ranch, and a plant in California where he manufactured tackling dummies.
