Oregon coach Dana Altman makes decision on his future

Oregon released a statement shortly after confirming the news.

“I have had to make two really tough decisions in my coaching career,” said Altman. “The first was leaving Creighton, a place my family and I dearly loved, to come to Oregon. This is the second. I’ve loved every minute of coaching here, and stepping away is difficult and truly painful. I love coaching, it’s what I know best and what I’ve been fortunate enough to do for almost five decades.”

Altman’s first head coaching job came at Marshall in 1989, and he then spent four years at Kansas State before spending 16 seasons with Creighton.

Altman left Creighton to go to Oregon in 2010, and the Ducs made nine NCAA Tournament appearances during that time, including a Final Four trip in 2017.

Altman is the winningest coach in school history.

Assistant coach Tony Stubblefield, who spent 13 seasons working with Altman, will be the interim coach this season, with a full search taking place following the 2026-27 campaign.

Oregon begins the season on Nov. 2 against Montana.
