Sources - Jim Larranaga in talks with Miami about stepping down - ESPN

Miami and men's basketball coach Jim Larranaga are in talks about him stepping down immediately, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.

Larranaga, who turned 75 years old in October, took over at Miami in 2011. In his 14 seasons at the helm, he led the Hurricanes to six NCAA tournaments and four Sweet 16 appearances — including a Final Four run in 2023. Miami went 11-6 in NCAA tournament games during Larranaga's tenure and won two ACC regular-season championships.

Veteran assistant Bill Courtney is expected to become the interim coach, per a source.

The 2022-23 season was the best in program history, as the Hurricanes won the ACC regular-season title and reached the program's first-ever Final Four — one year after going to the program's first-ever Elite Eight. They earned a 5-seed in the NCAA tournament, but knocked off No. 4 seed Indiana, No.1 seed Houston and No. 2 seed Texas en route to the Final Four, where they lost to eventual national champion UConn.

Since that Final Four appearance, though, Miami has struggled. The Hurricanes entered last season ranked No. 13 in the preseason AP poll, but missed the postseason entirely after going 15-17. They lost their final 10 games of the campaign.

Miami is just 4-8 this season, with losses in eight of their last nine games, including home defeats to Charleston Southern and Mount St. Mary's. Jalil Bethea, who became the program's highest-ranked recruit in nearly 40 years when he committed in September 2023, has started just one game.

Prior to taking over at Miami in 2011, Larranaga was the head coach at George Mason for 14 seasons. He guided the Patriots to a Final Four appearance in 2006 as an No. 11 seed — beating the likes of Michigan State, North Carolina and UConn along
