University of Hawai'i men's basketball coach Riley Wallace was released from Kaiser Medical Center yesterday, and said he will return to practice today.

Wallace underwent a successful angioplasty Wednesday to improve the blood flow to his heart.

"Everything's been cleared by the doctors, so I'm good to go," said Wallace, 63. "I feel fine."

Hawai'i associate coach Bob Nash was in charge of the two practices that Wallace missed this week.

The Rainbow Warriors are 5-0 and preparing to play Long Beach State on the opening night of the 41st annual Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic on Monday.
