High Point Coach To Join Creighton As Coach-In-Waiting
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND - MARCH 20: Head coach Alan Huss of the High Point Panthers addresses the ... More media after a first round game against the Purdue Boilermakers in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Amica Mutual Pavillion on March 20, 2025 in Providence, Rhode Island. (Photo by) High Point men's basketball coach Alan Huss is finalizing a deal to join his alma mater Creighton as the coach-in-waiting under current head coach Greg McDermott. The news was first reported by Jeff Goodman of the Field of 68 and confirmed by multiple people who were not authorized to speak publicly because a formal announcement is still forthcoming. The exact timeline on the transition is not clear. McDermott, 60, has been at Creighton since 2010 and has been a head coach since his days at Division II Wayne State beginning in 1994. At Creighton, he has guided the Bluejays two 10 NCAA Tournaments, including two Sweet 16s and one Elite Eight. Ryan Kalkbrenner, the team's outgoing center, was named the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year and won Big East Defensive Player of the Year four times. Huss, 46, is a Decatur, Illinois native who played at Creighton from 1997-2001. Playing under head coach Dana Altman and alongside future NBA star Kyle Korver, Huss was a part of three NCAA Tournament teams (1999-2001), two Missouri Valley Conference Tournament titles (1999 & 2000) and one MVC regular-season title (1999). Huss totaled 94 games as a Bluejay with 39 starts. He graduated with his bachelor's degree in business administration from Creighton in 2002. Huss then served as an assistant under McDermott from 2017-23 before taking over at High Point, where he is 56-15 in two seasons. His team went 29-6 and 14-2 in the Big South this year before losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Purdue meanwhile, has gone 4-6 in its last 10 games. While it would be a considerable effort to pull off the upset, the Boilermakers have shown an ability to lose as large favorites before. 2 years ago, Purdue infamously lost to a 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson in the First Round.
