Jim Larrañaga is stepping down as the Miami basketball coach following a slow start to the 2024-25 season for the Hurricanes, two years after leading the program to its first-ever Final Four.
The Miami Herald reported that Larrañaga, 75, will step down as coach, potentially as soon as Thursday morning. Miami is off to a 4-8 start to the season following a 78-74 overtime loss to Mount St. Mary’s on Dec. 21. The Hurricanes have lost eight of their previous nine games following a 3-0 start to the season and have lost 18 of their last 22 games dating back to last season.
According to CBS’s Jon Rothstein, Miami will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. where Larrañaga is expected to announce his retirement.
In 14 seasons with the Hurricanes, Larrañaga has cumulated a 274-174 record, becoming the winningest coach in program history. Miami has made six NCAA Tournament appearances under Larrañaga, including four Sweet 16 trips. The program reached its first Elite Eight in 2022 and first Final Four in 2023.
Following their run to the Final Four two seasons ago, the Hurricanes ended the 2022-23 season on a 10-game losing streak and finished 15-17. This was the team’s first losing season under Larrañaga since the 2020-21 season.
