Life can’t get it a lot better for Miami Males’s head basketball coach, Jim Larrañaga. Because the revered chief of the Hurricane program for over 11 years now, Larrañaga has introduced stability and (occasional) excellence to Miami.
On high of that, I don’t imply to digress: He lives in Miami! Everlasting sunshine and delightful climate by the seaside year-round! It genuinely hurts to be this jealous.
One other place the place you could be envious of Larrañaga is his program’s ongoing success throughout this 12 months’s March Insanity. After dismantling No. 2 Auburn (+6.5 favorites) 79-61 and humiliating their prized talisman within the course of, you possibly can forgive Larrañaga if he’s happy with his gamers.
It’s not typically you win wire to wire over a No. 2 seed.
Subsequent weekend may have been the primary time Miami’s performed in a Candy Sixteen since 2016. We’ll lower their coach some applicable slack.
However with Larrañaga clearly driving on cloud 9 after his workforce’s assertion victory, nobody was secure from his crosshairs. Not even dancing Auburn legend Charles Barkley.
You see, Barkley had asserted that he’d take his shirt off within the occasion of a Tiger victory over Larrañaga’s Hurricanes throughout his studio present. In his postgame feedback, it was a second that the coach was all too joyful to share how sad he’d be to see Barkley like that.
Ouch. I’d counsel a rebuttal if I used to be in Barkley’s sneakers, however that could be opening a bigger can of worms and a string of insults down the road.
Larrañaga: 1.
Barkley: 0.
Miami: To the Candy Sixteen.
