MIAMI (June 30, 2017) -- FIU Head Coach Tiara Malcom hired South Florida native Gabriel Lazo to complete her women's basketball coaching staff for the 2017-18 campaign. Lazo, who played at FIU for two seasons, comes back to campus after serving as head coach of John A. Ferguson High in Miami for the past five seasons, which advanced in the 9A State Championship game this winter.
"While I hate to leave a situation like Ferguson, which returns all of the players from our amazing team last season, it has been my dream to coach at the college level," said Lazo.
