The Miami basketball program announced a contract extension on Tuesday for head coach Jim Larranaga through the 2026-27 season. Patience by Miami through three straight losing seasons paid off for the Hurricanes and Larranaga. Miami has been the most consistent program nationally in the last two NCAA Tournaments.
After advancing to its first NCAA Tournament Regional Final in 2022, the Miami basketball program went a step further in 2023 earning a trip to its first Final Four and the National Semifinals. Miami had three straight losing seasons from 2018-19 through 2020-21. The 2022 NCAA Tournament run turned the program around.
