Jim Larrañaga is an essay in habit and consistency. He just returned Thursday afternoon from having the same lunch that consists of the same walk across the University of Miami campus and same order of Angel Food smoothie.
He eats cereal, Frosted Flakes or Honey Nut Cheerios, for breakfast. He orders the No. 1 meal from McDonald’s, nothing else, and his regular pregame meal always consists of chicken breast with blue cheese.
“Sometimes he doesn’t use the blue cheese,’’ said his long-time assistant, Bill Courtney.
For games, Larrañaga is a full ensemble of constancy from the time he arrives right down to what he puts in his pants pockets.
