Early life

Born Daniel Hugh Nee,[1] Danny Nee grew up in his native Brooklyn, New York.[2] His father Patrick immigrated to the U.S. from Ireland.[3] "Rough is what I grew up knowing, and it's what I still know," said Nee in an interview with Sports Illustrated in 1991.[4]

Nee played high school basketball at Power Memorial Academy alongside future NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.[5] After his junior year in 1963, Nee was expelled from Power Memorial for participating in a gang fight.[4]

For his senior year, Nee transferred to Fort Hamilton High School and was recruited to Marquette University by Al McGuire.[4] Nee was captain of the freshman team but dropped out of Marquette after one year.[3] In 1967, Nee enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.[3] With the Marines, Nee served in the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged in 1968.[6]

Resuming his college education in the U.S., Nee earned a bachelor's degree in English and physical education from St. Mary of the Plains College in 1971 and an M.S. in physical education from Kansas State University in 1972,[6] his master's thesis being titled Intramural programs in the Big Eight universities.[1]

Coaching career

High school and assistant in college

After earning his degrees, Nee coached high school basketball in New Jersey, first at Red Bank Regional High School from 1972 to 1973 and Brick Township High School from 1973 to 1976 before being recruited as an assistant at Notre Dame by Digger Phelps, where he would coach until hired by Ohio to his first collegiate head coaching appointment.[7]

Ohio

Nee served as head coach of the Ohio Bobcats men's basketball team for seven years (1980–1986), where he helped rebuild the program which had suffered through several losing seasons, and led the team to two MAC Tournament titles (1983 and 1985), two NCAA tournament appearances (1983 and 1985), and one National Invitation Tournament appearance (1986).[8] In 1993 he was inducted into the Kermit Blosser Ohio Athletics Hall of Fame.[9]

Nebraska

Following Nee's tenure at Ohio, he became the coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1986 to 2000. Nee took a historically lackluster Husker program to the next level, leading Nebraska to five NCAA Tournament appearances from 19911994 and in 1998. They won the Big Eight tournament championship in 1994. His 1996 squad won the NIT Championship.

On March 13, 2000, athletic director Bill Byrne fired Nee with three years left on Nee's contract.[10] Nee has since been inducted into the Hall of Fame at the University of Nebraska and still holds the record for most wins in school history.

After Nebraska

After Nebraska, Nee went to Robert Morris University for the 2000-2001 season. In the spring of 2001, he was named head coach of Duquesne University's Duquesne Dukes. Nee officially resigned as head coach after the season's final game on March 4, 2006.

Nee spent the next two years as a scout for the NBA's Utah Jazz. In September 2008, Nee joined Fred Hill's staff at Rutgers University as Director of Player Development.[11]

In July 2009, Towson University hired Nee as an assistant coach on Pat Kennedy's staff.[12]

Merchant Marine

On October 4, 2010, the United States Merchant Marine Academy named Nee its head men's basketball coach.[13] He was suspended for the final 12 games of the 2013-14 season for a locker room temper tantrum and subsequently fired. In four years, he managed a record that was one game over .500.[14]

Back to high school

In 2015, Nee joined the staff at Gateway High School in Monroeville, Pennsylvania as an assistant coach.[5] The same year, he also became head coach of the Basketball Stars of America AAU club. He coached the South Fayette Boys Freshman basketball team from 2020-2022.[15]

Head coaching record

Nebraska was awarded a forfeit victory over Texas Tech during the 1996–97 season. Nebraska originally lost that game, 87–74. This game is not reflected in the totals below.[16] Duquesne was awarded a forfeit victory over St. Bonaventure during the 2002–03 season. Duquesne originally lost that game, 86–78. This game is not reflected in the totals below.[17]
