The Miami Hurricanes men’s and women’s basketball programs have worked relentlessly in their own bubbles at the Watsco Center, while everything both inside and outside their controlled environment appears a tad different.
Coaches wear masks in practice, players sit so distant from each other that they appear separated, and an on-campus march in light of the ongoing Black Lives Matter and voter registration movements have all been on the minds of all.
“I think (given) the flexibility we saw in the football schedule this week in the changes, I’m guessing we’re going to have to make those same type of changes in basketball,” said Miami’s Director of Athletics Blake James, who has already endured a scheduling change for the school’s final three football games due to COVID-19 cases.
