Does anybody else find it interesting that our staff now consists of people spanning across three different head coaches from the last 13 years of Nebraska basketball?

It's a real life version of build a roster for $15

Hoiberg Announces Husker Basketball Coaching Staff

Quote

Lincoln – Fred Hoiberg’s first Nebraska coaching staff will feature people familiar with his system as well as Husker basketball, as Hoiberg announced four members of his 2019-20 staff Friday afternoon.

The coaching staff will feature a pair of new hires in assistant coaches Matt Abdelmassih (pronounced Abdel-massey) and Doc Sadler, while Armon Gates will stay on the coaching staff after joining the Husker program prior to last season. Hoiberg also announced that longtime college basketball coach Bobby Lutz (pronounced LOOTS) will join the program and serve as special assistant to the head coach. Abdelmassih, Sadler and Lutz all worked with Hoiberg at Iowa State, playing significant roles in helping the Cyclones make four NCAA Tournament appearances from 2012 to 2015. 

“I am excited with the staff we have put together,” Hoiberg said. “I wanted to put together an experienced staff and saw how important that was in our past success. We wanted to get the right mix of coaches who can go out and recruit the players we need to be successful and also do a good job of teaching on the floor.”

Prairiewolf or Plainsman? I was the latter. I never understood what was wrong with Plainsmen and Plainswomen, but whatever...

Prairie Wolf here haha I did live in Plainsman Hall though if that counts for anything...

I will never, ever forget attending practices with Doc at the helm.  Mercy!  

 

With Doc, unless you defended with your heart and soul and every fiber of your being, you did not earn the right to shoot the ball on offense.  Still makes me chuckle.

I get Lutz has the special assistant title, but do we still have 1 more spot open and he will take more of a player development role?

So is his role definitely going to be player development? And does anyone know what his salary will be? I assume it won't be coming out of the $1 million pool for the assistants.

Last heard it might be around 350, but that might be a high estimate. Only going on rumors.

We should find out more on Monday when the assistants are available to the media

That's probably what Doc will be making. Lutz would be less, I'd imagine.

 

 

[Huskerpapa]

There is also a possibility that the million dollar figure was not set in cement (hard to write that) and a bit more money may have been available.

[4huskers]

 

[Norm Peterson]

Gates gets a raise.

 

I guess that was a million just for the assistants and not for the whole staff.

I have been impressed with the relentlessness of the staff so far and the work that they are putting in.  One of the benefits of a change for them this year was the amount of scholarships that they have had to work with.

This staff is going to function much differently than it did under Miles where they traded off scouting opponents if this wasn't apparent already.

Unless there are limitations I think it will be Lutz.  He was the guy who did them at Iowa St as well as NC State and the Windy City Bulls. He seems to be a walking scouting machine as he's currently watching the NBA playoffs for plays they might want to use next season. I think Doc is a great basketball mind and could probably run scouts but Lutz I see as excelling at this. I don't know what everyone does but I suspect that Doc is probably the best at adjusting on the fly during a game.

I wasn't sure if Lutz's position came with any restrictions on it, although how game planning could violate anything I couldn't begin to imagine. Still good to know. I really enjoyed watching Doc coach at Southern Ms and I wish some of our people could've seen that, too, to appreciate just how good of a coach he really is/was. I dig this staff, though. I think you guys are in for some very fun year ahead. I'm hoping to catch one or  two more myself...:)
