Adam Howard New Husker Asst MBB Coach





Howard comes to Lincoln after spending the past four seasons as an assistant at South Alabama, where he was promoted to associate head coach for the Jaguars prior to the 2021-22 season. At USA, he coordinated the Jaguars' full- and half-court defensive sets and worked with the post players, helping three players earn all-conference recognition.
In his four years at the school under Coach Richie Riley, South Alabama has gone 75-51, including a pair of 20-win seasons, after the school had five straight losing seasons. During his tenure at USA, Howard's defenses have ranked in the top-50 nationally in field goal defense in each of the past two years, while also lowering their opponent field goal and 3-point percentage in each of the past three seasons. His defenses have also recorded at least 200 steals per season, averaging nearly seven steals a game in that span.
This season, the Jaguars went 21-12 and reached the semifinals of The Basketball Classic, while the Jaguars' 21 wins are the most at the school since the 2007-08 season. South Alabama ranks in the top 40 nationally in scoring defense (64.0 ppg, 34th), field goal percentage defense (.404, 37th) and blocked shots per game (4.9, 25th).

Coach Hoiberg's comments on New Assistant MBB Coach Adam Howard in a recent (6/7/22) radio interview regarding the progress of the Team:

– Hoiberg is very happy with what Adam Howard has done since joining the staff as an assistant coach. "He's gotten us in front of some really high-level players so far and I'm very impressed ... Love his defensive knowledge. He helped with a matchup zone that they've played at the different places he's been. Really excited to have Adam on staff."

"We're going to completely change the way we approach our offensive rebounding," Hoiberg said. "I think we've got some guys that can just flat-out go get the ball. We're going to have better physicality, better length across the board and should create some excitement."

 
We're off to a Good Start, Defeating Maine in the Season Opener, with new assistant coaches, Howard, Tommy & Zeigler.

Keep it UP!!! :Cheer2: :Cheer2: :Cheer2:
