Fred Hoiberg has signed a three-year extension to remain as head coach of Nebraska. Hoiberg is now under contract through the 2031-32 season.
The Huskers have won 20 or more games in three straight seasons under Hoiberg, which has never been done in school history. Nebraska is currently ranked 11th in the country ahead of the Big Ten tournament.
"Fred has built this program step by step, and his leadership has Nebraska positioned to continue to compete at a high level in the Big Ten Conference and nationally," athletic director Troy Dannen said in a statement. "Fred is one of the most respected coaches in the country by his peers, and his success has been recognized throughout the college basketball world."
Hoiberg was head coach of the Chicago Bulls from 2015 until 2018.
"We have a long family history with the University of Nebraska, and the support we have received over the last seven years is truly remarkable," Hoiberg said. "We are blessed with world-class facilities, but the people are what make Nebraska special. Our goal is to continue building a program that our fans can embrace and have pride in because it represents the values of Nebraska."
