They were talking about this on 1620. Supposedly some rumor on an article coming out this week. Neither Nebraska nor NCAA seems to know anything about it.

Nebraska fell 67-58 yesterday at home to K State.

Good news is Huskers assistant Matt Abdelmassih is back from his medical leave.

Seems like all the chat on this thread is the Men’s team, while meanwhile the Husker women are undefeated and Coach Amy Williams just earned ESPN national coach of the week. The team also ranked 7th in the NCAA NET rankings.

“Nebraska coach Amy Williams was recognized Monday by ESPN as national coach of the week. Williams has the Huskers off to a 12-0 start, their best since joining the Big Ten and their best overall since the 2009-10 season.

The Huskers moved up one spot in this week’s AP poll to 29th. Five Big Ten teams — Maryland (6), Indiana (8), Michigan (9), Iowa (21) and Ohio State (25) — are ranked in the top 25.

The coaches poll, which will be updated Tuesday, had Nebraska 27th last week. “

Big win by the Huskers women's team! They should be ranked.

Plus, they're a young team and will be adding a top 50 player in 6'6' Maggie Mendelson next year. She's been dominating out here in Utah.

Absolutely. The question will be how high in the rankings do we go?

Amy Williams I think is the lone bright spot of the Shawn Eichorst era.

At the time of the AW hire, if memory serves me correctly, it was looked at as a questionable hire too.

Yeah that’s how I remember it too. I remember some saying we went low because she was a Nebraska alum with some success at South Dakota.

I would agree. Not sure if it's staff changes or what but Hoiberg really needs to look at making changes in the off season.

Just a thought.
Maybe he needs to get a system going where he IS NOT making massive changes every off-season.

I think that's part of the issue. He's obviously bringing in talented players but also needs to make sure they all fit together and buy in to whatever culture he is trying to establish and fit into his system.

Unannounced contract extension adds millions to Fred Hoiberg's buyout

Even if Hoiberg can’t get more Big Ten wins, Nebraska may not be in an easy financial position to consider other coaching options because it would owe him an approximately $18.5 million buyout.

As far as Hoiberg is concerned I actually think this might be a good thing. Obviously Nebraska is not a traditional basketball school in any way. Hoiberg has issues right now but he is bringing in talent we haven't seen since Nee. Whether a change in culture is needed, different mix or updated system, I would not mind seeing him given a few more years to tinker (and that probably means some adjustments to his staff.

The OWH article also says "It was one of many extensions Moos offered to his hand-picked coaches and staff members during his time as athletic director." I would like to know who the others were. We know of a couple, Frost and Bolt.
