Don’t let the last two seasons fool you — Jim Larrañaga is the best head coach Miami basketball history and it’s not close.
Jim Larrañaga arrived at The U in 2011 and success followed in short order. After a 2011-12 season where Miami fizzled out in the NIT, Coach L had the pieces in place for the best Miami basketball team in program history.
Led by Shane Larkin, Durand Scott, Kenny Kadji, and Larrañaga’s tenacious coaching, the 2012-13 Hurricanes team won the first-ever ACC Regular Season and conference tournament titles for the Miami basketball program.
