Overview
- Boston College, which announced the hire Thursday, named UConn assistant Luke Murray as its men's basketball coach.
- Murray will stay on Dan Hurley’s staff through the NCAA Tournament, with UConn set to face Michigan State in the Sweet 16 on Friday.
- Widely credited for designing UConn’s high-powered offense, he helped deliver national titles in 2023 and 2024 and earned a reputation as a strong recruiter.
- He replaces Earl Grant, fired earlier in March after a 72-92 tenure, taking over a program that went 11-20 last season and has not reached the NCAA Tournament since 2009.
- Athletic director Blake James called the move a turning point for BC, and UConn will need to fill a key assistant role once its season ends.
