Boston College Hires UConn Assistant Luke Murray As Head Coach

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. Murray has worked under Dan Hurley at Wagner, Rhode Island, and UConn since 2021, establishing himself as a top-level recruiter and offensive architect. Before his arrival in Storrs, UConn ranked 64th and 85th nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency. Since joining Hurley's staff, the Huskies have never finished below 30th in that category, ranking first and third in their two championship seasons. Hurley offered an emphatic endorsement on social media. BC is Back! This guy is the best, Hurley wrote. Will miss him greatly but so proud and happy for him. Long overdue opportunity. Good Bye Champ!! Prior to UConn, Murray served as an assistant under Chris Mack at Xavier and Louisville, contributing to five NCAA tournament appearances, including an Elite Eight run in 2017 and a top overall seed in 2018. He began his college coaching career at Quinnipiac in 2007 and spent two seasons at Towson from 2011 to 2013. Murray is the son of actor and comedian Bill Murray. In Luke Murray, we have found a leader who does not just understand the modern landscape of college basketball - he has helped define it, Boston College athletic director Blake 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.
