Boston College Introduces Luke Murray as Men’s Basketball Head Coach

BC hired him to revive a program absent from the NCAA tournament since 2009.

Overview

  • Murray, introduced Tuesday on campus, said he will rejoin UConn for the Final Four and return to Boston after Monday’s title game.
  • He described an analytics-driven, offense-first approach built on ball movement, unselfish play and a shot selection that “mathematically makes sense.”
  • He said university leaders assured him of plans to compete in today’s market, including name, image and likeness and revenue sharing, though the athletic director declined specifics.
  • The transfer portal opens Tuesday, and Murray said staff hires and roster building will start as soon as he is back.
  • He replaces Earl Grant after five seasons and brings experience from UConn’s recent national-title teams and NBA player development to jump-start BC’s rebuild.
