Huh, okay
BREAKING: High Point head coach Alan Huss, a Creighton alum, is finalizing a deal to re-join Greg McDermott’s staff immediately as the coach-in-waiting, sources told

. McDermott, 60, hasn’t put an exact timeline on his retirement, but sources said that it’ll likely be in the next two seasons. McDermott has won more than 600 games in his career. He took over at Creighton in 2010, and has led the Bluejays to 10 NCAA tournament appearances - including an Elite Eight in 2023. He is 350-171 in his tenure at Creighton and also led the program successfully from the Missouri Valley into the Big East. The plan is for the 46-year-old Huss to leave his head coaching spot at High Point immediately and return to his alma mater to ease the transition once McDermott decides to retire. Huss played at Creighton from 1997-2001 and was an assistant on McDermott’s staff from 2017-2023 before becoming the head coach at High Point. In two seasons in the Big South, he’s gone 56-15 overall and is coming off the school’s first NCAA tournament appearance. The plan allows McDermott to have Huss on staff to ease the transition, allows Huss to be the next head coach at his alma mater and also enables the school to have a plan in place for continuity.
