On Dec. 26, 2024, Miami basketball turned the page on a historic era.  Jim Larrañaga, the architect behind the Hurricanes’ rise to national relevance, stepped down just two years after leading the program to its first ever Final Four appearance. In 13 seasons, he became Miami’s all-time winningest coach, guiding the Hurricanes to six NCAA tournament appearances and four Sweet Sixteens while transforming UM into a respectable force in college basketball. Following Larranaga’s departure amid the disappointing season, the Hurricanes turned towards a different direction.  📝Jayden Gonzalez 📸 Jared Lennon & Alexandra Fisher #universityofmiami #miamibasketball #miamihurricanes #sports #basketball
