Jim Larranaga retired from his duties as head coach of the Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team on Thursday. It was a shocking development for a number of reasons.
The Hurricanes, of course, are in the middle of their season, sitting at 4-8 after the opening stretch of the college basketball year. Larranaga is also only one year removed from leading the U on a surprise run to the Final Four. All that combined with Larranaga holding the position for well over a decade and it's hard to envision anyone saw this coming.
