Nebraska basketball is having one of the better seasons in program history, and head coach Fred Hoiberg has helped lead them to that success. That's why it's no surprise that the program has given him a contract extension through the 2031-32 season.
Hoiberg has been the head coach of Nebraska since 2019, with this being his seventh season. This season, they're 26-5 overall and 15-5 in conference play.
“Fred Hoiberg is a tremendous representative of the University of Nebraska, the Lincoln community, and our state. We are extremely proud that he will continue to lead the Nebraska men’s basketball program well into the future,” athletic director Troy Dannen said in a statement. “Fred has built this program step by step and his leadership has Nebraska positioned to continue to compete at a high level in the Big Ten Conference and nationally.
“Fred is one of the most respected coaches in the country by his peers, and his success has been recognized throughout the college basketball world.”
Nebraska tied its record for wins in a season, and has won more than 20 games in three straight seasons for the first time in program history.
“I'm appreciative of the continued confidence from Troy Dannen and Jeffrey Gold and thank them for the support they have shown in our staff's leadership of the Husker basketball program,” Hoiberg said in a statement. “We have a long family history with the University of Nebraska, and the support we have received over the last seven years is truly remarkable. We are blessed with world-class facilities, but the people are what make Nebraska special. Our goal is to continue building a program that our fans can embrace and have pride in because it represents the values of Nebraska.”
