Creighton men's basketball hired High Point coach Alan Huss to Greg McDermott's coaching staff on Thursday with intentions to make Huss the coach-in-waiting for when McDermott chooses to retire, the Field of 68's Jeff Goodman reported.
The plan, as Goodman states, is for Huss to be on the team to ease the transition for whenever McDermott decides to officially retire. It's expected for the long-time coach to step away after the next season or after two seasons. McDermott currently holds a 350–171 coaching record at Creighton.
