Creighton has announced Alan Huss as the next men’s basketball coach but will not officially take over until the departure of Greg McDermott. Huss, currently assisting at High Point, has accepted a deal to return to Creighton as the coach-in-waiting.

During the past weeks, the two parties were in talks about the transition. Sources revealed that Huss finalized this deal in the morning, aiming to revive a strong coaching legacy at Creighton.

Huss, a former player at Creighton, brings significant experience after serving as an assistant coach from 2017 to 2023, where he contributed to elevating the team’s performance in the Big East conference.

With McDermott’s tenure likely to conclude soon, Huss’s appointments are seen as a strategic move to maintain stability within the program while preparing for future challenges.
