Jim Larrañaga stepping down at Miami, Bill Courtney to take over, AP source says
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Jim Larrañaga is stepping down as Miami’s men’s basketball coach effective immediately, a person with knowledge of the decision said Thursday.
Larrañaga will be replaced by associate head coach Bill Courtney — one of Larrañaga’s best friends for the past three decades or so — for the remainder of the season, the person said.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the school had not made any public announcement.
A press conference was planned for later Thursday.
The decision by Larrañaga ends a 14-year run as coach of the Hurricanes — and, presumably, a 41-year college career that saw him win 744 games at Miami, American International, George Mason and Bowling Green. He took Miami and George Mason to the Final Four.
The Hurricanes are 4-8 this season and only 5-19 in their last 24 games, a stunning freefall for a program that went to the Final Four just two seasons ago. Injuries and roster turnover have taken a clear toll, and Larrañaga is one of many coaches who has expressed some level of frustration with the lack of regulation and transparency that comes with the Name, Image and Likeness era in college sports.
Larrañaga is the second prominent coach to step down unexpectedly this season in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Tony Bennett did the same at Virginia back in October, less than three weeks before the Cavaliers played their season-opener.
Bennett, when he stepped down, said NIL has simply changed the game for coaches and not in a good way.
“College athletics is not in a healthy spot. It’s not,” Bennett said in October. “And there needs to be change. It’s not going to go back. I think I was equipped to do the job here the old way — that’s who I am and that’s how it was.”
Larranaga’s decision to step aside makes him the latest big-name veteran coach to leave the ACC in recent seasons, following the departures of some other giants within the sport — North Carolina’s Roy Williams in spring 2021, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski a year later and Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim to end a 47-year tenure in 2023, and Bennett earlier this year.
It’s also the second sudden retirement for Miami’s basketball programs in 2024: women’s coach Katie Meier surprised many around the Hurricanes when she stepped away this past spring after 19 seasons in Coral Gables. Meier has remained at the school as a special advisor to athletic director Dan Radakovich and as a professor.

Multiple sources close to the Miami basketball program have confirmed that head coach Jim Larrañaga will be stepping down from his position. An AP source revealed that assistant coach Bill Courtney is expected to take over as the new head coach.Larrañaga, who has been at the helm of the Hurricanes since 2011, has had a successful tenure, leading the team to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2013. However, sources say that the 72-year-old coach has decided that it is time to step away from coaching and enjoy retirement.
Courtney, who has been an assistant under Larrañaga for the past five seasons, is highly regarded within the program and is seen as a natural choice to take over as head coach. Known for his strong recruiting abilities and player development skills, Courtney is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the team.
The Miami athletic department has yet to make an official announcement regarding Larrañaga’s departure and Courtney’s promotion, but sources say that an announcement is expected in the coming days. Fans are already buzzing with excitement about the future of the Miami basketball program under Courtney’s leadership.

(Photo by Samuel Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Miami men’s basketball coach Jim Larranaga’s time with the Hurricanes appears to be nearing the end.
According to the Miami Herald, Larranaga. 75, is expected to step down and an announcement could come as soon as Thursday afternoon. The Hurricanes are 4-8 so far this season after going 15-17 during the 2023-24 season.
The longtime coach has been at Miami for 14 seasons. He came to the Hurricanes from George Mason. He spent 14 seasons at George Mason following 11 seasons at Bowling Green.
After over a decade at the helm of the Miami men’s basketball program, longtime head coach Jim Larranaga is reportedly set to step down. Larranaga, who has been with the Hurricanes since 2011, has had a successful tenure with the team, leading them to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and earning the 2013 ACC Coach of the Year award.While the news of Larranaga’s departure comes as a surprise to many, it is rumored that the 72-year-old coach is looking to retire and spend more time with his family. Larranaga’s impact on the Miami basketball program has been significant, and his leadership will surely be missed by players, fans, and staff alike.
As the search for a new head coach begins, Miami will undoubtedly look to find someone who can continue the success that Larranaga has brought to the program. It is clear that Larranaga’s legacy will be felt for years to come, and his dedication to the Miami basketball program will not be forgotten.
