George Washington head coach Chris Caputo joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on offensive efficiency and making decisions as a head coach.
In 2022-23 Caputo completed his first year as a head coach. Under his leadership, George Washington posted their best regular season in six years, enjoying the most overall wins (16), most Atlantic 10 conference wins (10), and the first A-10 winning record since the 2016-17 season.
Caputo recorded the second-most A-10 wins (10) for a first-year GW bench boss in program history and the fourth-most overall wins (16) in GW's A-10 era. All five starters had career seasons.
Caputo came to GW from the University of Miami, where he was the associate head coach under Jim Larrañaga since 2015. He was a skilled scout, recruiter and tactician who served as the team’s defensive coordinator. He helped coach the Hurricanes to seven postseason berths, five NCAA appearances, and three Sweet 16s.
