""When the sting does wear off, which it will at some point - maybe - these guys deserve a lot of credit for what they have done for Nebraska basketball," Hoiberg said."
""Hoiberg's grandfather, Jerry Bush, was Nebraska's head coach from 1953-63 and his grandfather from his father's side taught at the school for 30 years.""
Fred Hoiberg was awarded The Associated Press men's basketball coach of the year after a successful season with Nebraska, achieving 28 wins and the team's first NCAA Tournament victory. Hoiberg received 17 votes, surpassing Duke's Jon Scheyer. He emphasized the importance of recruiting the right players to energize the fanbase and change perceptions of Nebraska as primarily a football school.
