Tulane’s Ron Hunter won’t coach Temple game after COVID-19 exposure

Tulane men’s basketball head coach Ron Hunter announced on social media that he will not be able to coach the Green Wave on Saturday against Temple due to COVID-19 exposure.

After being informed of my exposure to someone who tested positive for Covid-19, I am following the quarantine protocol and will be unable to coach my team Saturday against Temple. I have no doubt my staff and players will be ready to play. #RollWave

Hunter will be quarantined until cleared by protocols.

Tulane will host Temple on Saturday at noon. The matchup with the Owls is a rescheduled game that takes the place of the previously planned road game at Cincinnati this weekend. The Bearcats are sidelined by COVID-19 issues.
