Miami basketball coach Jai Lucas has received a new five-year deal after a successful debut season leading the Hurricanes.
Lucas guided Miami to a 26-9 record in his first year in charge, helping the program return to the NCAA tournament. The extension also includes a raise, reflecting the program’s commitment after a strong opening campaign under his leadership.
The Hurricanes’ 26-win season marked an immediate impact for Lucas, who quickly established momentum in Coral Gables. With the new agreement in place, Miami moves forward with continuity at the top of its men’s basketball program following a postseason appearance.
