Nebraska men’s basketball is again searching for a new assistant coach.
Head coach Fred Hoiberg already shook up the staff after reworking his contract with Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts. Now, he has to replace another departure.
Armon Gates, with Hoiberg in Lincoln for four years, has taken another coaching position. Multiple reports indicate he is off to Oregon to join Dana Altman’s staff.
Hoiberg issued a statement after news of the departure began to be reported Friday.
“Armon Gates has informed me that he is leaving Nebraska to take another coaching position. I appreciate all of Armon’s contributions to Husker Basketball over the past four-plus seasons, as he has been a valuable member of our coaching staff since I arrived three years ago. I wish Armon, his wife Ashley and his family all the best as he begins his new endeavor. Looking forward, we will be diligent in finding the right person to join our coaching staff to continue to help us build our program.”
