Dude is an absolute legend and his fame continues to grow!

Someone sent me this— appears KT is engaged!

Happy to announce that despite various openings and opportunities out there that Husker Hoops Central will remain at Nebraska for its 20th season.
Just got this puppy today.
 

 
 

What a day for Fred! First the national COTY award, then news of Brice & Juwan returning, then Keisei's 3-point title!
 

After seeing what Fred’s done with the portal and NIL the past two years, you can’t help but be super optimistic when you hear this.
 
Even with all the departures 

Another poster who was there (and had a picture to prove it) and talked to Mast says Mast told him he’ll be back and that Fred’s got a plan in the works. 

Mast struggled against athletic bigs, but if he returned that would be huge. His leadership and teamwork would be hard to replace.

20 and another Chip will do just fine.  Congrats Keisei...way to represent yourself and make Nebraska proud!

My all time favorite. Of all time. I’ll never forget him and what he did for our program. He is worth his weight in gold. National twitter exploding. 

Not close to equivalent to the Tiger Woods shot where the ball stops and slowly turns over, the camera pans in, and Nike gets free advertising from its logo blasted all around the world.
 
But I'd like to think this was Tominaga giving us one last knod. Captivating the in-house crowd with his shooting, then captivating the TV crowd with his charisma, and then finally captivating the internet crowd with his pause, shot, no look, and then the camera captures it... "Nebraska" on the jersey.
 
Thank you, Keisei. You did it for the game. But you mean so much more to this program. 私たちはあなたを愛してます。

Man I’m going to miss Tominaga. 

Perhaps we can replace his production but his infectios personality will be impossible to replace.  I am glad he is getting this exposure, he deserves it!

Amazing, amazing turnaround this year.  Let’s sustain it because it’s much more fun to be in the dumps after a March Madness loss than a 1st round B1G tourney loss.
 
congrats coach!  Well earned!

Nebraska’s Fred Hoiberg is the recipient of the 2023-24 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year award.  The award is presented annually to the top head coach in division I college basketball.  Hoiberg led the Cornhuskers to their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2014. Nebraska finished with 23 victories - the program’s most since 1991.  Nebraska was top-40 nationally in adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency, holding opponents to a top-20 defensive field goal percentage. The Cornhuskers finished third in the Big 10, posting a winning record for only the third time since they joined the league for the 2011-12 season. Hoiberg is the second Husker men’s basketball coach to earn the honor, as Tim Miles was the 2014 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year.
 
The Jim Phelan Award is named in honor of a legendary bow-tied coach who spent his entire head coaching career at Mount Saint Mary’s University. Phelan graduated from La Salle University in 1951 and played one season in the NBA with the Philadelphia Warriors. After a brief professional career, Phelan went to Mount St. Mary’s as an assistant in 1953. One year later he began his historical career as a head coach. He led the Mountaineers to 16 Division II NCAA tournaments. Five times they advanced to the Final Four and he led them to the DII National Championship in 1962. When he retired in 2003, after coaching for 49 years, he had amassed 830 wins (overall record of 830-524) in all divisions. In those 49 years, 19 of his teams amassed 20 or more wins in a season. In 2008 he was inducted into National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. The recipient of the annual award is determined by a 10-member voting committee, which consists of current and former head coaches, as well as two senior staff members of collegeinsider.com.

Wonder how soon Nick Janowski will be ready for the SG spot?

Hope our coaching staff is watching this!

Wonder how soon Nick Janowski will be ready for the SG spot?

NIL was good in theory but was rolled out too quickly and with no real direction. That’s led to where we are today and it’s too tough to dial something like that back.  So now it’ll be about adapting where we are to what probably needs to happen.
 
Someone mentioned contracts and I think that’s a fair way to go with where we are at.  Making players sign multi-year contracts and having a penalty for breaking that contract would be fair for all parties. You could still offer one year contracts if you wanted to, but could also off more lucrative multi-year deals to ensure you keep someone around.
