Nebraska hires coach
United Press International
LINCOLN, Neb. — Danny Nee, a Vietnam veteran who built a successful basketball program at Ohio University, said yesterday that he looked forward to taking over the Nebraska basketball coaching job vacated by Moe Iba.
"I'm very excited to coach at the University of Nebraska," Nee said at a news conference. "I feel I'm coming into a conference that is in a renaissance period."
Asked the style of play he favored, Nee replied, "Hard and unselfish, up and down the floor." He said specific offenses and defenses would be tailored to the team's talent. Nee said he planned to meet with the Husker team Monday.
Nee said his first priorities would be to assemble a staff and get on with
recruiting. He said he would have a four-year contract, details of which still are being worked out.
Nee, 40, was contacted about the Nebraska job by Devaney before Iba resigned. Nee's six-year record at Ohio was 107-67, including 22-8 this season.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Nee played basketball at Power Memorial High School, where one teammate was Lew Alcindor, later Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Iba resigned as Nebraska coach March 14 after Nebraska lost 67-59 to Western Kentucky in the first round of the Southeast Regional of the NCAA basketball tournament.
Nebraska was 19-11 overall this season and 8-6 in the Big Eight Conference, tied for third with Missouri and Oklahoma.

USC gets Iowa coach
LOS ANGELES — George
Raveling, longing for a return to life in the big city, left Iowa yesterday and accepted the position of head basketball coach at Southern Cal.
Raveling, 48, agreed to a five-year contract to replace Stan Morrison, who resigned March 11 — perhaps under pressure — after seven seasons with the Trojans. Four high-regarded USC freshmen saw much playing time, but UCSC finished 11-17 overall and was last in the Pacific Ten with a 5-13 record.
While the Trojans were struggling, Raveling was guiding the Hawkeyes to a 20-12 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. Iowa was eliminated 66-64 in the first round this year by North Carolina State.
