basketball program: academics, recruiting, coaching, fundraising, scheduling, etc. and thus he is uniquely qualified to lead the University of Miami basketball program.”

What They’re Saying: “ Frank Haith has done a tremendous job in elevating the men's basketball program into one of the premier teams in both the ACC and in the nation." His character, dedication and relationship with his student-athletes and staff members are beyond reproach, and the University of Miami is proud to have one of the top young coaches in the nation."

- Kirby Hocutt, UM Athletic Director

“I don’t think Miami could be getting a better family than the Haith family to lead their basketball program into the ACC. The fact that he grew up in ACC territory, he understands where the Miami program is right now and what has to be done. What Miami will soon learn is they just got the whole package.”

the needs of each specific student-athlete. 

Beginning on the first day of classes in the fall, the Miami coaching staff works with players in groups of four 40 minutes, 3 times per week, until

the start of team practice in mid-October. 

“The individual workouts that we conduct here at Miami will play a key role in our success in the ACC. They will prepare us to compete in the

best basketball conference in the country.”- Coach Frank Haith

Workouts are sport specific, thus enhancing each young man’s strength, agility, speed, and overall athleticism.

Strength coach, Mac Calloway (formerly with NBA’s Orlando Magic) works day-in and day-out with each player throughout the entire year.

“Mac Calloway has a tremendous amount of knowledge about the athlete’s body, and his strength and conditioning programs help each individual to reach their full physical potential.”
