Greg McDermott retiring as Creighton coach: Top assistant Alan Huss set to lead Bluejays program
Creighton coach Greg McDermott retired, the school announced on Monday. McDermott informed his team at a Monday morning meeting, sources told CBS Sports.
Fortunately for the program, the next coach up in Omaha is already in the building: Alan Huss will be promoted as a result of McDermott's decision to step away. Huss is a longtime assistant under McDermott. He took the High Point job in 2023 and brought the Panthers to the 2025 NCAA Tournament, then returned to Creighton in April of last year after Huss, McDermott and Creighton athletic director Marcus Blossom agreed on a succession plan.
"It has been an incredible honor to lead the Creighton men's basketball program for the past 16 years," McDermott said in a statement. "I'm very proud of the young men that have proudly worn the Bluejay uniform and represented our program in a first-class manner. Witnessing their growth and development on and off the playing floor was especially gratifying.

McDermott will coach through the Bluejays’ run in tThe College Basketball Crown—a still-new postseason invitational tournament set to run from April 1–5 in Las Vegas. Once he steps down from the role, McDermott will be succeeded by coach-in-waiting Alan Huss.
McDermott took over the top job with the program in 2010, and navigated the Bluejays through their jump from the Missouri Valley Conference to the Big East, where they have proven a perennial contender. Under McDermott, Creighton reached the NCAA tournament 10 times in 15 years, including three runs to the Sweet 16 and one to the Elite Eight over the past five seasons. Fans will likely also remember Creighton’s 2013–14 season, when McDermott’s son Doug led the nation in scoring with the Bluejays under his father’s coaching.
