MIAMI UPDATE

[GMU79]

Caputo is absolutely correct.

 

[Jack Strop]

Caputo is absolutely correct.

One thing Caputo is not correct about: "Mason was a DII team when Larrañaga and Company arrived in Fairfax." ... NOT!

Mason entered NCAA DI in 1979.

Caputo is 100 % correct. Losing Coach L was the death of this program. Perhaps one day we will make the tournament again.

It wasn’t just losing Coach L (obviously a huge loss but most programs don’t have one coach for 25+ years). The biggest blow was what we did next, absolutely fumbling the hiring of his replacement.

True. I kind of read what he said quickly.
My bad.

Yeah Miami's Sweet 16 run is influenced by NIL, and no the Canes don't care if that upsets you

NIL is a part of college basketball now. That may be no more true than at Miami.

Not your fault.

No doubt the OCM is now lurking in our portal.

No doubt the OCM is now lurking in our portal.

Who?

 

[Masonman]

Who?

Sorry, an old inside joke. OCM = Old Cuban Man. When he was here he was not Cuban and did not spell his name with a tilde. I guess names are fluid too.

Yes he did, I have a signed photo with the tilde. The school did not have the technical knowledge of how to add the tilde to his name.

I have an autographed copy of the book he wrote. No tilde.

Coach L still got our back

 

[GMUYoda]

Back to back Elite 8 fir Coach L at Miami

 

[ProfessorCFK]

I have an autographed copy of the book he wrote. No tilde.

Looks like he varied up his signature. I have a circa 2008 signed basketball with a tilde. Never noticed it until he went to Miami, thought his sharpie had slipped.

Miami could win it all

 

[GMU79]

Miami could win it all

I would love for coach L to get a championship!!

 

[Verdad]

Miami could win it all

 

[Walter]

I just moved into first place in my office pool due to Miami’s win tonight. They make it to the Final Four then I win.
