Jay played for his father at Bowling Green. After He graduated in 1997, Jim left for George Mason where he spent 14 years with the Patriots. Larranaga led them to an improbable Final Four berth before taking over the Miami basketball program.
Like Jon RIcht, the son of his counterpart Head Coach Mark Richt with the Miami football program, Jay spent time with his father’s team. Unlike Jon, Jay played for his father but did not coach with him. Jon is currently the Quarterbacks Coach for the Miami football team.
Unlike Jay and his brother Jon who played for Jim at George Mason, Jon Richt never played for his father.
