Boston College men’s basketball has hired UConn assistant coach Luke Murray as the program’s 14th head coach.
Murray has served as an assistant coach under Dan Hurley at UConn since 2021. He helped lead the Huskies to back-to-back national titles in 2023 and 2024.
“Today marks a turning point in Boston College Men’s Basketball,” BC Athletic Director Blake James said in a release from BC Athletics.
He began his college coaching career in 2007 at Quinnipiac and has served as an assistant coach at Post, Arizona (Graduate Assistant), Wagner, Towson, Rhode Island, Xavier, and Louisville before landing at UConn.
Murray has 19 total seasons of Division I coaching experience.
“In Luke Murray, we have found a leader who does not just understand the modern landscape of college basketball – he has helped define it,” James said. “His role in building a national championship caliber program, his sophisticated offensive vision, and his relentless pursuit of excellence make him the perfect fit to lead our student-athletes.”
During Murray’s previous ACC tenure at Louisville (2018–21), Murray helped the Cardinals land a top-10 recruiting class and make one NCAA Tournament.
“I am deeply honored and incredibly grateful to lead the Boston College Men’s Basketball program,” said Murray, according to the press release. “BC is a university with a prestigious academic reputation and a storied basketball tradition. Boston College alumni and fans will find our program defined by a standard of excellence, and our team will play an unselfish, tough, and highly competitive brand of basketball. I am excited to get to work to build this proud program. Go Eagles!”
Murray’s hiring comes after the firing of former head coach Earl Grant.
