Jim Larranaga out
- Thread starter NYShoreGuy
- Start date
What’s the reason? Another coach sick of the current dynamics or forced out? Or maybe one in the same.

Seems combo of both, lot of recent losing, but seems to be having trouble as well with portal and he doesn't seem happy with new college dynamics.
According to reports at the time GMU granted SHU permission to interview him and he said no to the opportunity to interview.
I heard he isn’t necessarily “fed up” with the system..he obv does not like it
But it’s more like he just can’t learn or want to learn a new system..it’s been tough and too much for him
Oh and guess what he’s complained about his NIL funds

Yeah...What's it all about?Politicians and lawyers ruining college sports.
Sure whatever you say
He cited “exhaustion” which is what I said
it became too many moving parts for him

I listened to him and talked to him before but thanks
Love the guy But he wasn’t fed up 2 years ago when they hit the ground running in NIL and he wasn’t fed up when they were reaching out to KR
It got to be too much for him..he didn’t even know who he was recruiting anymore
Also, he got tired of his diminished NIL and losing out
What I will agree he has long though part of his “secret sauce” is that he can just out coach and develop more than his peers
And he felt with the new climate that advantage he had was fleeting or gone
There’s no chance you quit in the middle of a season. And just at the beginning of the conference schedule without something serious behind the scenes.
NIL and the portal are long over with for this season. If it’s too much then say you’re quitting at the end of this season so you don’t have to worry about it and only focus on basketball one last time.
Bribery? Current Players or their agents shaking him down for more money now out of his pocket? Probably

Yeah of course he benefited from NIL at first, then saw what it would take to maintain it and have to recruit players and assemble new teams every year and said no thanks. He was clearly struggling to do so too, look at the results. I don't think it makes him a hypocrite or anything, who wants to do this crap when you've won 700+ games and can retire happily?
Larranga benefited by Miami paying players before NIL and when NIL started. Now, that it became legal, and the blue bloods plus the SEC and the Big 10 were up and running, Larranga no longer wanted to put in all the hard work and play the game. This was probably his last year. It ended earlier because of the poor start.
The NIL system is terrible- the only thing that can save it is a salary cap of sorts but I don’t know how that’s possible.
He had a huge problem with the tampering and how to manage it and how to do it yourself

When the money dries up ............
He told everyone he would get through his contract and be done but was done for awhile
Okay so in your eyes hypothetically not caring for a year or more is more of a sign of quitting than actually quitting in the middle of a season. Sure pal. If he quit before or after the season it wouldn’t be a story here. But keep saying he didn’t quit this week

where did I say he didn’t care?
He was done a long time ago..everyone on that staff knew
He told them he was going to get through his contract..and he didn’t…that sucks move on
Nobody cares if he mentally checked out a year ago. He physically quit in the middle of a season. And we’re talking about the state of college basketball.
Go on the Miami board if his performance bothers you

He was also an excellent college player. Saw him at Walsh on the first Dave Gavitt PC team in 1970. Great team player who scored fewer points each of his three years as teams improved. Played second fiddle at that Walsh game to teammate and Essex Catholic star Vic Collucci; as a senior the scoring leader was Ernie D. In the course of four years Larranaga played for Jack Curran, Joe Mullaney, and Gavitt.
