Cornhuskers fire coach
Basketball team hits 10-year low
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Danny Nee was fired as Nebraska's basketball coach yesterday after his team's worst finish in 10 years.
Nee's termination will be effective March 31, and a national search for a new coach will begin immediately, said Bill Byrne, Nebraska athletics director. He said the university would be forced to pay Nee about $400,000 to buy out the three years remaining in his contract.
The announcement came 16 days after Nee became Nebraska's winning coach by one win with a 254-189 record in 14 seasons, the longest career of any active Big 12 Conference basketball coach.
The 'Huskers, who failed to win a single conference game on the road this season, lost to Baylor in the first round of the Big 12 tournament Thursday. Nebraska finished with an 11-19 record, its worst under Nee since the 1989-'90 Huskers went 10-18 and failed to earn a bid to either the NIT or NCAA Tournaments.
Byrne said he had several possible
candidates for the job in mind but he refused to name them. He said he would not approach them until their seasons were finished.
Nee did not immediately return a
Nee did not in message seeking comment left at his office yesterday.
Byrne said Nebraska's poor season was not the lone reason for his dismissal.
Nee: Received
$400,000 from
Nebraska for a contract buyout
"It's just not one season or one incident," said Byrne, who would not get into the specifics of what
led to his decision. "It's an accumulation of things."
Nee, 54, often was targeted in local radio call-in shows and newspaper columns. He said throughout the season that he was not going to quit. A resignation would have cut him out of the hefty contract buyout.
It didn't sit well with Nebraska fans that few home-grown players were on his team's rosters. Three Nebraskans were on the roster at the end of his final season, none
under scholarship. A 1996 practice boycott, when players went to Byrne with complaints about Nee, also has not been forgotten.
Nee made a late-season push to come back for next season by sending a letter to season-ticket holders, pointing out the program's strong points during his career.
Nee guided the 'Huskers to the 20-win mark in seven of his 14 seasons. He led Nebraska to five of 104-year-old program's six NCAA Tournament appearances along with six visits to the NIT.
But the 'Huskers never contended for regular-season conference titles in either the Big Eight or Big 12 when it expanded. Nebraska's best conference finish was in the 1990-91 season, when the 'Huskers went 26-8 overall and 9-5 in the Big Eight, finishing third in the league. It was also Nee's best season as a head coach.
Nee tied Joe Cipriano's school coaching record of 253 wins on Jan. 29 when Nebraska beat Kansas State, but the 'Huskers followed with a six-game losing streak. Nee finally got the record after Nebraska's 69-64 win against Colorado on Feb. 26, but the 'Huskers closed the season by losing 9-of-10.
