Miami Extends Hoops Coach
The university announced it has agreed to a three-year contract extension with Coach Jim Larranaga that will keep him with the Hurricanes through April 2019. The contract extensions for Golden and Larranaga are in part a consequence from the Nevin Shapiro scandal and an ensuing NCAA investigation.
Larranaga said Friday that he wasn't informed by university officials about allegations of misconduct involving dozens of Hurricanes athletes and some coaches until last August, months after he left George Mason to take the UM job.
