Description

Jim Larranaga enters his 12th season as the head coach of the George Mason men's basketball team and he is the school and conference's all-time leader in wins. Under his leadership, the Patriots have more wins in March than any other CAA school and he has led the Patriots to heights barely imagined before his arrival.



When the 2005-06 men's basketball season began, Jim Larranaga was entering his ninth season at the helm of the George Mason Patriots. Already the school's all-time leader in wins, there were a few more milestones on the horizon for Larranaga, some expected, some unexpected.



In his 22nd season as a collegiate head coach, Larranaga enjoyed a magical carpet ride that saw him become the Colonial Athletic Association's all-time leader in wins and the first coach at a mid-major school to take his team to the Final Four in 27 years.



When things were finished, Larranaga led Mason to a school record in wins, the school's first-ever national ranking, George Mason's first-ever appearance in the top 10, and the school's first-ever wins over top 10 teams.



The Patriots finished the year with a 27-8 record and ranked eighth in the final USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. Mason had appeared in the poll for one week earlier in the season, standing at No. 25. But NCAA tournament wins over Michigan State, No. 10 North Carolina, Wichita State and No. 2 Connecticut vaulted Mason up the poll, into the national conscience and made Larranaga a household name.



The at-large berth was the first in 20 years for a team from the CAA. Mason also became the first CAA team to make the Final Four and the No. 8 spot in the poll was the highest-ever for a CAA club.



At the end of that amazing run, Larranaga received one immense personal accolade as he received the Clair Bee Coach of the Year Award.
