Nebraska director of operations Teddy Owens taking high school coaching job in Florida

Nebraska director of basketball operations Teddy Owens has accepted a job as the head boys basketball coach at Carrollwood Day School in Tampa, Fla.

Owens, the son of former Kansas head coach Ted Owens, has been with Nebraska for the last four seasons, including the last three as NU’s director of ops. His duties included handling NU's budget, coordinating the team's travel and working with the Huskers coaching staff on scheduling, among other responsibilities.

The move allows Owens to return to the coaching side of basketball, something he has always longed to do, though he will also work in administration as a part of Carrollwood Day's advancement and development team.
