Chris Caputo has been on Jim Larranaga’s staffs at Miami and George Mason for the past 17 years. The last 12 of those years have been as an assistant coach. Losing Caputo would be a big blow to the Miami basketball program. He will eventually be a candidate to replace Jim Larranaga.
It’s surprising it has taken this long for Caputo to mentioned as a possible head coaching candidate. Buffalo lost their head coach for the second time in four years. Bobby Hurley left the Bulls for Arizona State following the 2014-15 season. Nate Oats left Buffalo for Alabama last week.
