Nebraska's Director of Player Relations and Development Ali Farokhmanesh has accepted a postition as an assistant coach at Drake University.
“It is with mixed emotions that I will be leaving the University of Nebraska to accept an assistant coaching position at Drake University,” Farokhmanesh said. “I want to thank Coach Miles for the incredible opportunity to be a part of Husker basketball. It has been an honor to work with Shawn Eichorst and Marc Boehm, who have allowed me to be a part of a very special university and athletic department. I will always be grateful for the experience of working with Coach Miles and his staff. Under their leadership and trust, I have grown as a person and as a coach. I have had a remarkable three years at Nebraska with some very special student-athletes, and I will cherish those relationships. This program will go on to do great things," Farokhmanesh said.
Farokhmanesh was a part of the Husker men's basketball staff for three seasons. He will now coach under Niko Medved who also coached under Tim Miles at Colorado State.
“I'm excited for Ali to join my good friend Niko Medved at Drake,” Miles said. “He's been a tremendous asset to our program for the past three years. We will miss him, his wife Mallory and son Tai as they will always be part of our Husker Family, but it is great to see him get the chance to get on the floor (to coach) and on the road (to recruit). I have no doubt he will do a tremendous job for Drake basketball," Miles said.
