Jim Larrañaga is reportedly stepping down as the Miami Hurricanes' men’s basketball coach effective immediately.
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.
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.
