Alan Huss Named Creighton’s Coach-in-Waiting in Strategic Leadership Transition

High Point's head coach steps down to join his alma mater, as Creighton plans for Greg McDermott's eventual retirement without setting a timeline.

Alan Huss is leaving his role as High Point's head coach to become the coach-in-waiting at Creighton University, where he played from 1997 to 2001.
Huss achieved a 56-15 record at High Point, leading the team to back-to-back Big South regular-season titles and their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance at the Division I level.
Greg McDermott, Creighton's head coach since 2010, remains in charge with no set retirement timeline, ensuring continuity during the transition.
Huss previously served as an assistant coach under McDermott for six seasons at Creighton, further solidifying his ties to the program.
Creighton’s decision to bring Huss back reflects a long-term strategy to maintain the program's success, which includes 10 NCAA Tournament appearances under McDermott.
