Longtime University of Miami men's basketball coach Jim Larranaga will step down amid his 14th season with the Hurricanes, he announced Thursday. Larranaga, 75, was under contract through 2026-27. The Hurricanes appointed assistant Bill Courtney to serve as interim coach for the remainder of the season.

After more than a decade with the program, Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga is reportedly stepping down. Larrañaga joined the staff at Miami in 2011 and was the head coach for more than a dozen years. He helped lead his team to the Final Four in 2023, though the team did not cut down the nets.

Larrañaga was at the helm at George Mason when the Patriots made one of the most improbable Final Four runs in modern college basketball history in 2006. George Mason beat three top-seven seeds before taking down No. 1 Connecticut in the Elite Eight. The Patriots lost 73-58 to eventual national champion Florida in the national semifinals.
