Wait.. Hamilton Last Coached Miami MBB 21 years ago?

Considering that I was on the team with both Haith and Coach L, it feels more like 30 years when Hamilton coached at the U.

Haha. OP is Rip Van Winkle. James Jones is in his 40s and is now a GM in the NBA and his last season playing for the Canes was like 3 years AFTER Ham left.

I love Coach Hamilton. Good lord, he started coaching WHEN I WAS AN UNDERGRAD at Miami. That's a long time ago.

I would support UM acquiring F$U's campus in a hostile takeover just so we could get Coach Hamilton back. Then we could shut down that crappy campus and sell off the land.

I believe he left before MJ got there. Believe MJ played under Collins his two yrs in Washington


Yeah, I think that's why the Bullets/Wizards pulled the cord on Hamilton so quickly. They didn't think that Jordan wanted to be coached by a guy just one year out of coaching in the NCAA ranks.

Correct. Collins wash hand picked by MJ.
 
Thinking something 7-8 years ago is actually 21 years ago? FML..

Bruh, Miami hired Larranaga back in 2011—and your math doesn't even account for Perry Clark or Frank Haith era.

I get that time is flying, but c'mon now—Larranaga is the third coach since Hamilton left. No way that computes to anywhere close to under a decade.

Hamilton also bailed Coral Gables to take over the Washington Wizards while Michael Jordan was playing there—a sports moment that literally feel like three decades ago, not two.
