Creighton coach Greg McDermott is retiring after this season, sources told ESPN.
McDermott’s retirement will end a gilded run at Creighton, as McDermott won 365 games in 16 years there. He has a career record of 514-319 over 25 Division I seasons, including the 2023 Elite Eight and 13 overall NCAA tournaments while the head coach at Northern Iowa, Iowa State and Creighton.
McDermott will be passing the job to coach-in-waiting Alan Huss, who had returned to the Creighton staff and was formally positioned for a year to take over this role.
The transition to Huss was hatched in April 2025, as Huss stepped down as the head coach of High Point after leading them to the NCAA tournament. He was named coach-in-waiting with no finite timeline, and that timing is now he’ll take over for the 2026-27 season.
