On April 12, 2004 Athletic Director PaulDee named Frank Haith as the University

of Miami’s 11th head men’s basketball coach.Haith was given the task of leading the

Hurricanes into the Atlantic Coast Conference,and in just two seasons has guided Miami to a34-29 record, back-to-back post season appear-ances, five wins over ranked opponents, theschool’s first National Invitation Tournamentwin since 1963, and the first NIT road win inschool history.

When Haith took over the program Miamiwas coming off two straight losing seasons including the 2003-04 campaignin which the Hurricanes failed to qualify for the BIG EAST Tournament.

Many thought UM would not win a game in its inaugural season in theACC but Haith quickly turned the Hurricanes into one of the most danger-ous teams in the league. In his first two seasons Haith has led Miami to 14league wins including victories over nine of the 11 ACC teams. Last seasonMiami led the ACC in scoring defense holding opponents to 65.1 points pergame.

In his first season Haith took a Miami program that was picked to finishlast in the conference in the preseason ACC media poll and led it to the postseason for the first time since 2002.

The remarkable turnaroundincluded a 16-13 overall record,seven league wins, three winsover ranked opponents and aberth in the National InvitationTournament.

Haith was honored as theNational Association ofBasketball Coaches DistrictCoach of the Year, the firstcoach in UM history to win theaward, and was a finalist for the

Naismith National Coach of the Year Award.In 2005-06 Haith led the Hurricanes to several firsts in the program’s his-

tory. Miami won it’s first game against North Carolina at the Dean SmithCenter, the Hurricanes recorded the school’s first ACC Tournament win,hosted it’s first NIT game, and won it’s first NIT road game.

Miami finished with an 18-16 overall record last season including sevenACC wins, knocked off two ranked teams, and advanced to the post-seasonfor the second straight season.

In the NIT Haith guided Miami to wins over Oklahoma State andCreighton marking just the second time in school-history that the Hurricaneswon consecutive post-season games.

With the Hurricanes NIT appearance last season Haith became just thesecond coach in Miami history to take UM to the post season in his first twoseasons.

Success, however, is something that has followed Haith where ever he hascoached. In his 15 seasons as an assistant at the collegiate level, he was a partof programs that won one NIT Championship, advanced the NCAA SweetSixteen three times, reached one Elite Eight and one Final Four.

Haith has recruited six McDonald’s All-American’s including RodneyRodgers (Wake Forest, 1990), Jerald Brown (Texas A&M, 1995), BradBuckman (Texas, 2002), LaMarcus Alridge (Texas, 2004), Daniel Gibson(Texas, 2004) and Michael Williams (Texas, 2004), and coached 12 playersthat have been drafter or played in the NBA including T.J.
