Nebraska had an eye-opening run to the Sweet 16 during March Madness, and the Cornhuskers are looking to stabilize their coaching staff in order to make another bid for a deep NCAA tournament push next year.
To that end, head coach Fred Hoiberg announced that several key assistants have had their contracts extended.
“The success our program had this year is really a testament to the efforts of our entire staff, and it is important to reward them for all of their work,” Hoiberg said in a release. “The work they pour into our players is evident in their development in our program.
