Alan Huss returned to Creighton in April as the program’s associate head coach and head coach in waiting.  As a former Creighton men’s basketball student-athlete and assistant coach under McDermott for six successful seasons from 2017-23, Huss brings unparalleled leadership and strategic vision, valuable recruiting know-how, and a deep connection to the Bluejays basketball program to the position.

Huss compiled an outstanding head coaching record of 56-15 during his two years at High Point University, highlighting his ability to build and lead teams to success. High Point achieved historic milestones, including the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in Division I history and a program-record 29 Division I wins during the 2024-2025 season, showcasing his capacity to elevate a program to new heights. Huss was named the Big South Conference Coach of the Year in 2023-24 and 2024-25.

Huss previously spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Creighton from 2017-23, helping CU to 134 victories, four NCAA Tournaments and the program’s first BIG EAST title. He worked closely with Creighton’s big men, the Bluejay offense and recruiting.

Huss was a four-year member of the Creighton men’s basketball team from 1997 to 2001, where he played under head coach Dana Altman and alongside future NBA sharpshooter Kyle Korver. During his collegiate career with the Bluejays, Huss was part of three NCAA Tournament teams (1999, 2000, 2001), two Missouri Valley Conference Tournament titles (1999, 2000) and one MVC regular-season title (2001).
