The
City of Coral Gables honored head coach Jim Larrañaga and the University of
Miami men’s basketball team on Tuesday, proclaiming May 28, 2013, as “University
of Miami Hurricanes Men’s Basketball Day”.
The
proclamation was read and presented Tuesday morning to Larrañaga at the Coral
Gables commission chambers. Miami athletic director Blake James was also in
attendance and the Coral Gables Commission honored the Hurricanes.
“I
look at this award like I have all the other awards; I think it’s a team award,”
Larrañaga said. “I think when you have a good team and they perform at a very
high level, members of the team often are recognized for their contributions. I
am both honored and humbled to receive an award like this, especially from our
community. It’s so important to me to have the support of the community behind
our program.”
Larrañaga
and his team have received numerous honors and awards following their
record-setting season, but receiving recognition from the community is just as
special to Larrañaga as his four Coach of the Year awards.
“When
my staff and I first arrived here, one of our priorities was to create
excitement in the local community,” Larrañaga said. “The University of Miami is
very fortunate to be in a wonderful community like Coral Gables. You want the
citizens of Coral Gables to be very, very proud of the programs that they
support. I think what the players did this year created a lot of excitement for
the local community and allowed us to feed off of that.”
“We had five sell out crowds and a lot of exciting games,” Larrañaga said. “We won the ACC regular season championship at home and cut down the nets in front of 8,000 faithful fans. The community includes our students, our faculty and our administration, as well as the townspeople who came and supported us. It’s a real honor to have the kind of success we had with the kind of support we had.”
My God

Just messin' with him! I like the guy and he does really good work but I just find it ridiculous when people post about going to the grocery store on Twitter. Do they think that ANYBODY IN THE WORLD really cares about that?

Find out if Chris uses a bag boy or doesn't want to be seen in the company of adolescent males.

Confirmed: he bags his own, no bag boy help.

NOTE TO CHRIS WITTY:
5. Checking in at the laundromat
OK. An occasional, ironic check-in at somewhere like the laundromat is acceptable, especially if you make a witty comment about your surroundings. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about checking into places for no particular reason. You’re at school. You’re at the grocery store. Now, you’re at home. What do these kinds of updates tell your friends, other than that you’re kind of bored and/or boring? You also want to think twice about sharing your every location for security reasons. Do you have a Facebook stalker who comments on everything you post? If you check in to the bar that’s down the street from their house, there’s a good chance that they might just show up!
