CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami and head men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga have agreed to a contract extension, Vice President/Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich announced Wednesday.
The winningest coach in program history, Larrañaga received an additional two years on his deal, taking it through the 2025-26 campaign.
“I am excited to have Jim continue to lead our men’s basketball program,” Radakovich said. “He is an outstanding ambassador on and off the court for Miami and for the game of college basketball. We look forward to many more seasons of success with Jim at the helm.”
A 38-year coaching veteran, Larrañaga ranks No. 34 all-time among Division I coaches, including No. 10 among active coaches, in victories with a 692-473 ledger. He is a stellar 222-139 in 11 years at Miami and has led the program to unprecedented heights during his illustrious career in Coral Gables.
Over a third of the Hurricanes’ 20-win seasons have come under Larrañaga’s leadership, as he has directed his team to a seventh such campaign in 2021-22. His tenure also includes all three of Miami’s 25-win seasons, two of its three NCAA Sweet 16 berths and a sweep of the 2013 ACC titles.
During his Miami career, Larrañaga owns two ACC Coach of the Year plaudits, two USBWA IV Coach of the Year accolades and one NABC All-District II Coach of the Year distinction. In 2013, he won Naismith, Associated Press, Henry Iba USBWA and Rupp National Coach of the Year recognitions after guiding the Hurricanes to a 29-7 (15-3 ACC) record and the best season in school history.
