Miami basketball head coach Jim Larranaga is expected to return to Hurricanes for Tuesday’s game against Temple at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn after missing Saturday’s game at home against Alabama A&M. Longtime Larranaga assistant head coach Chris Caputo is the head coach for Saturday’s game.
The official release from the Miami Hoops twitter account stated that Larranaga would be out on Saturday and replaced by Caputo. Canes Hoops mentioned they expect Larranaga “back on the bench shortly.” The 70-year-old Larranaga also missed the Hurricanes 72-70 loss on February 10, 2018, at Boston College due to an illness.
