Kurt Joseph Hired for Husker Basketball Staff
Nebraska men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg announced Monday (April 12) the hiring of Kurt Joseph as Director of Men's Basketball Strength & Conditioning.
Joseph comes to Lincoln after spending the last two-plus seasons as an assistant strength coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves. In that role, he assisted with the development and implementation of the strength and conditioning program for the NBA franchise.
"We are pleased to add Kurt to our staff," Hoiberg said. "He comes highly recommended from the Timberwolves, and his experience in the NBA and in the G League will be an asset for our players to understand what it takes to compete at the highest level."
Before joining the Timberwolves, Joseph was the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Cockeye Wolves, Minnesota's NBA G League affiliate. In that role, he developed and implemented strength & conditioning program. He also facilitated and served as aid during practice and assisted the athletic trainer with all post workout and postgame recovery intervention.
Joseph also worked as a weight room assistant with the New York Knicks, where his duties consisted of aiding in team practice, implementing the strength and conditioning program, implementing all prehab and corrective exercise protocols as directed. He also worked as a strength coach intern for the Brooklyn Nets in 2012.
He began his career as a strength coach volunteer at Long Island University Brooklyn while working on his master's degree. In his tenure at LIU Brooklyn, he facilitated all strength and conditioning workouts for the men's basketball team and developed and implemented strength and conditioning programs for the volleyball, men's and women's soccer programs.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Joseph attended LIU Brooklyn, where he was a member of the men's basketball team and helped the school make consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Joseph received his Bachelor's in Sport Science and his Master's in Exercise Science in 2013.

Who was doing strength for the bball team prior to this?
Tim Wilson, who was a holdover from the Miles era.

He's now the main strength coach for the Women's Air Rifle Team.
Smoke around Doc leaving for UTEP is getting thicker. Source tells me he isn't happy with the role that he's been given since Loenser came on board. Thinking Gates may be heading out too. Even though Doc was handpicked by Fred and he chose to keep Gates as a holdover from Miles, it looks like he is trying to get the band back together.

That would be too bad on Gates. I might be wrong, but I always felt like he was a pretty good coach and a decent recruiter. Also doesn't hurt to have a POC on staff.
I'm hoping Gates sticks around, he's got cred and the boys like his style of coaching.

Haven't heard much in either. Doc wouldn't surprise me, but Fred's gotta do what he's gotta do to put together a staff that can develop the guys in campus into high end nba doods
Whatever he's gotta do to make Nebrasketball better I'm for. May not like it but I'm for it.

doesn't need any space either, which helps when you're 6' 150lbs playing in the B1G.
i've been skeptical on this one, but if his one and only role is to launch 3's, i kinda get it. Can't see how he'll ever be able to guard anyone.

Is Sam the one that was at Mich St or is he coming out of high school?
