Bobby Lutz, with more than 30 years of coaching experience, had other coaching opportunities this spring. He didn’t have to come to Nebraska.
Yet here is Lutz, in Lincoln, ready to begin his third stint working with Fred Hoiberg.
Why?
“I want to be on a team that has a legitimate chance to get to a Final Four,” Lutz said. “That’s saying a lot. That’s a lofty goal, I know. But that’s one of the reasons I came here.”
Lutz is careful to stress he’s not predicting such results, but merely that he’s part of a program, a coaching staff, with a legitimate chance to play at the highest level and go deep in the NCAA Tournament.
