Alan Huss named head coach-in-waiting at Creighton

Alan Huss is set to return to Creighton University as a coach-in-waiting for the men's basketball team, reportedly succeeding Greg McDermott when he retires. Huss, a former player and assistant coach at Creighton, has spent the last two seasons as head coach at High Point University, where he led the Panthers to their first NCAA tournament appearance and a strong overall record of 56-15. McDermott, who has built Creighton into a competitive program over 15 seasons, is expected to step down within the next two years, although he has not disclosed a specific timeline. This move is seen as a strategic succession plan for the Bluejays, ensuring a smooth transition in leadership. Huss's successful tenure at High Point, which included back-to-back Big South regular-season titles, highlights his capabilities as a head coach. The announcement indicates Creighton's commitment to maintaining its competitive edge in college basketball.
