The men’s basketball team underwent a total overhaul in the offseason, with the entire coaching staff and several players leaving the program. The fresh start has the Miami community feeling optimistic about this upcoming season and the team’s future.
“I think our guys are just excited to play,” head coach Jack Owens said. “Any time you start the year, you should have a lot of energy, expectations are great, but I do think we have some pieces in place to be successful this year.”
Former RedHawks’ head coach John Cooper was dismissed in March after finishing last season with an 11-21 record and going 59-100 overall in five seasons at the helm.
