Um basketball camp jim larranaga biography

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Jim Larrañaga, the all-time winningest head coach in University of Miami men’s basketball history, announced Thursday that he is stepping down as head coach. Associate Head Coach Bill Courtney, who has been at Miami since 2019, has been appointed Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

In his thirteen-plus seasons in Coral Gables, Larrañaga led the Hurricanes to six NCAA Tournament appearances, including their first Final Four (2023), first Elite Eight (2022), first ACC Tournament title (2013), first two ACC regular season crowns (2013, 2023) and four Sweet 16 appearances.

“After more than fifty years in college coaching, it is simply time,” said Larrañaga.

“There is never a great moment to step away, but I owe it to our student-athletes, our staff and the University of Miami to make this move now when my heart is simply no longer in the game and I owe it to Liz, Jay, Jon, and my grandchildren to be a greater part of their lives.
