Jim Larranaga fires back at Jim Boeheim's claims that Miami "bought" a team

[djcon57]

Not really anything hard at all, but nothing he said here wasn't true.

I hate how the media frames everything in such hyperbolic terms; though I suppose "Jim Larranaga has a measured and reasoned response to Jim Boeheim's comments" doesn't play as well.

It was a tweet from Lebatard's show. His show kind of mocks the hyperbolic media. I took it like that.

Thank you! That's kind of funny then.

How much did they pay Larry David for that cameo?

I hate to see identical twin brothers fight like this.

If they bunk their beds they’ll have more room for activities.

About as articulate a response as could be scripted.

That reference will upgrade you from a “like” to a “love.”

Are they hot?

Larannaga is right. He’s still a spry 73yrs old. JB is 78. Leonard Hamilton is 74.
Greg Popovich is the oldest NBA head coach in history at 74.
These guys are the epitome of can’t let it go or won’t let it go.

Sounds like he bought a team

Or, they listened to Frank Thomas and discovered Nugenix. I bet their wives are happy too.

However he got the team - the guy is very underrated. His Final Four run with Mason compares with anyone's best tournament run. His response was much more professional than the original comment.

I like Larranaga. He did buy a team but it's perfectly legal. After three straight losing seasons (2019-21) for Larranaga he adapted and bought into the transfer portal. Obviously this year he fully bought into the NIL. JB was hesitant on both and it's cost him.

I don't follow Miami basketball but would have to assume everyone wanted him fired after three straight losing seasons. This gives some hope for the future.
