Without Holmes, that Dayton roster is nowhere near No. 22. They’re probably not even top-4 in the A-10.

They ended up barely being top 4 with him.

"CORAL GABLES, Fla. – University of Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga has been named the 2024 Gene Bartow Award recipient, as announced Thursday afternoon by CollegeInsider.com.

The Gene Bartow Award is presented annually to a current or former coach for his contributions to the game. It measures not only a coach’s win-loss record, but also the impact he has made on his players, school, and community.

Larrañaga completed his 40th season as a head coach and 13th at Miami in 2023-24 and holds a 740-500 all-time head coaching record. He currently ranks first among active Division I head coaches in career games coached (1,240) and seventh among the same group in career victories (740).

The winningest coach in program history, Larrañaga has posted five 25-win seasons at UM – the only Miami coach to do so even once – and seven in his career. He also has recorded eight 20-win campaigns at Miami and coached the program to four of its five Sweet 16s, both of its Elite Eight trips, its first Final Four, both its ACC regular season titles and its first ACC Tournament crown.

Larrañaga has been named the Associated Press, Naismith, USBWA and Henry Iba National Coach of the Year, twice was both the ACC and USBWA District Coach of the Year and was the 2013 NABC District Coach of the Year.

In 2023, Larrañaga was both inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame & Museum and named a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame first-time nominee.

Larrañaga came to Miami in April 2011 after a 14-year stint at George Mason. As the head coach of the Patriots, he led George Mason to a 273-164 record, four CAA regular season titles, three CAA tournament titles, nine postseason appearances, five NCAA Tournament bids and a spot in the 2006 Final Four.

Prior to George Mason, Larrañaga was the head coach at Bowling Green for 11 seasons, guiding the Falcons to a 170-144 mark, a MAC regular season crown and three NIT trips. Larrañaga also served as the head coach at American International.
